Good Morning ALL! What a beautiful morning! The sky is blue with hints of orange on the horizon as the sun rises on this Sunday morning. How are you doing? Considering I was up until after 2:00 a.m., I am doing well. Likely the energy will dissipate over the course of the day as I usually go to bed just after 9:00 with lights out no later than 10:00 p.m.
Two of my friends Gillian & Signe came over and we celebrated our Annual Christmas Party, I cannot even tell you which number this is. I would have to look back on photos but we have been doing this for years not long after I arrived here in Edmonton. These girls are amazing and I love them dearly. They are about my daughter’s age and give me a modern outlook on life. I do not feel 65. Also last night at some point before the girls left we got a fresh blanket of snow and when I looked out of the window a few minutes ago – there it was – waiting to be shovelled. So once I get downstairs and put on the coffee and before I do some more laundry (bedding), I will run out and shovel. I guess I figured the Christmas Shoveling Angel would have magically swept it up, lol. We had such a great time last night. We chatted about everything from A to Z and everything in between. Everyone brought appetizers to contribute to the potluck and we had so much food. Enough for 10 not 3. Lots of leftovers. Everyone got great gifts. All things that we can use. We were all happy to revel in each other’s company and the gifts were an extra special touch.
I am going to cut this short this morning as I want to get laundry done, bring up the dried clothes and do the shoveling. This will be a day to relax as I have an even bigger party coming up next Saturday and then of course, I work all this week. Starting the week off at the office.
Perhaps free air will do me some good. Nice to see the sunshine or at least a clear sky. Have an awesome Sunday. Take some time just for you. I might go out for a walk as I have not had a “real” walk since Alvin went to Amanda’s a week ago yesterday. I do miss him but he is doing so well out there, it has been worth my missing him.
Continuing to live this life with kindness, respect, compassion, patience, understanding, gratitude, focus, possibilities and coffee.
Always, Carol & Alvin



PS: whoops had to edit my post as I forgot the countdown to Christmas – for this Sunday, December 11th, 2022 there are 13 sleeps left until Christmas Eve.

Good Morning and Welcome to Wednesday the 13th day of July, 2016.
Another cloudy raining morning with hopefully sunny patches.
Not much of a breeze which is good in case it rains.
Straight down rain is always better than on an angle especially when you are walking with an umbrella.
We have a field trip today as our office is closed to the public.
So we get to go and learn something new today.
I am excited.
Last night I spent the greater part working on my “Steeped Tea” business.
As of late, I decided that I should have a FB business page and I set out to set up that up.
It is kind of tricky to manoeuvre throughout the set up but I am getting there.
Always good to learn something new.
Trial and error.
Might take me a few days but I will be successful.
Also I have learned that it is important to use social media as a valuable tool in business.
It is the wave of the future.
Never would have thought of that a few years back.
I do remember thinking when I was a small girl about the days when we could see the person we were talking to on the telephone.
I am not sure why I had those thoughts but it has come to pass.
I am tired this morning because one hour on the computer turned into plus four.
Poor Alvin was so patient as we ended up going for a later walk and then when back home I was back on the computer.
Well that is all.
Just learning and spending a lot of time on the computer.
Have an awesome Wednesday.
Perhaps you will learn something new today.
Does not matter what ….. just good to learn something.
Special Hello to: all those folks who take the time to read my little blog, I appreciate your time and your comments.
Always, Carol and Alvin
