The morning sky is broken with some lightness on the horizon.
It is time to get motoring as Mr. Alvin has been reminding me for the past hour or so.
Even though he was up at 1:30 and then again at 4:30.
I only wanted to lay on the bed or the sofa and just be.
But that is not to be so up we are and get this day going.
My boy is restless.
At the moment he is resting on his blue blanket beside me as I write this post.
We were heard a crack or a thud, a loud noise a couple of hours ago.
But no idea what it would/might have been.
Last night we went for a walk after work but only went half way.
The sidewalk to the park was so dangerously icy that it seemed to take 1/2 the time of our regular walk.
The air was so beautiful warm for February 7th, how could we not walk.
We even met up with another pup and his Mom.
Always time for visits.
I do love to meet new people.
Last night I chatted with a long time friend of mine from Saskatchewan.
I took Grade 12 in Windthorst where she had lived all of her life.
Through the years, there have been times where we have not seen or heard from one another but when we do, it is as though time has not passed at all.
Last night was one of those times.
We figured it had been just over ten years since we have seen each other.
Her sons and my daughter are grown.
She has retired and I am working.
Life continues on.
We had the best conversation catching up on the last decade, so much to say.
I miss her.
Hopefully we can keep in better touch now.
Well today I want to give Mr. Alvin a haircut and bath and do the laundry.
Cleaning will be tomorrow.
I took a vacation day on Tuesday so I can go and pick up some groceries if I need to at that time.
Well time to get dressed and make some coffee.
Change the bedding and pop on that first load of laundry.
Life is always full of surprises.
Wishing you a day full of surprises, good ones.
Take your day with kindness and respect.
Full on.
Happy Saturday.
Wishing that Mr. Alvin could put on the coffee or maybe a load of laundry.
Oh well ….. he is a good alarm clock and great company.
Always, Carol & Alvin
