Thought for the day …..

Good Morning and Welcome to Saturday the 20th day of April, 2019.

The sun is up and we are up a full hour plus today.

I have already put a load of towels into the laundry and brought up all of the clothing that was hanging to dry in the basement.

Also put it away.

Alvin decided to wait to have breakfast – I would like to think he is waiting for me.

One more thing to do after this blog post and that is a shower.

We had a great Friday, “Good Friday.”

Did some laundry, cleaned out my bedroom closet, the spare bedroom closet and the front entranceway closet.

PURGING felt wonderful.

In the end I filled a huge black garbage bag with clothing and a couple of jackets.

YAY, me.

My closet is now filled with ALL pieces of clothing that I can fit and will wear.

That always feels so good to have done.

Also moved living room furniture vacuumed and then washed the main floor.

Alvin and I ended it all with a lovely walk.

While on our walk a car stopped and a lady got out.

She started to call “KONA” several times.

I assumed that she was calling for a dog and I was correct.

Apparently her son’s friend left the back gate open and the “two” dogs got out.

One of them had been found right away but the other a young german shepherd was not.

Her son had called them to come and join the search.

I told the woman to make sure that they put the missing dog on Facebook and on the Edmonton Lost Animal sites and call HUMANE SOCIETY.

I checked Facebook and saw a post from the Edmonton area  page and it would appear that someone located the young shepherd.

I only hope that they connected with the owner.

Hopefully will find out this morning.

I did leave some messages on a couple of posts with hopes that someone will reach out to me.

Always worried when fur babies are separated from their parents.

I know that if Mr. Alvin ever got lost – I would be devastated.

Although as everyone knows him in the area – he would make it home safely (at least I am hopeful).

I always keep my back gate locked and no one enters that way without me there.

Better to be safe than sorry.

Strict rules provide safety for our fur babies.

 

Well I guess time to get this show on the road.

See what trouble we can get into today.

Oh, about suppertime last night we received a phone call from our friend P.

She called as she had made her Saskatoon crumble for the family get together today but made an extra small one for me.

How thoughtful.

She drove it over and also gave me small chocolate Easter Eggs.

I am very blessed to have such thoughtful and kind friends.

 

Well lots to do.

Shower, breakfast, working on laundry, I would like to power wash the deck and house, walk as usual, clean the basement and maybe the office if there is time.

Although the office may be a full afternoon project.

Happy Saturday.

Enjoy your weekend.

I am …. so enjoying this time at home.

 

Special Hello to: my grand-pups Aspen and Milo, our friends Teddy and Humphrey and all of the fur babies out there.  Stay safe.

Always, Carol & Alvin

 

Thought for the day …..

Good Morning and Welcome to Sunday the 31st day of March, 2019.

Today is the birthday of a long-time girl friend, Happy Birthday PB.

Alvin and I wish you a great day and year to come.

The sky is overcast this morning.

Sunday and the final day of March, 2019.

Where has or does the time go?

No one seems to know.

We only know that as we get older time seems to pass with lightning speed.

I just heard geese honking.

There must be some geese flying about in the sky somewhere close by.

 

Yesterday Master Teddy spent the day with us.

I thought that perhaps I would share some photos of the boys together

Also I moved up Alvin’s haircut and bath to yesterday.

Which was a good move on my part.

Teddy and Alvin and I went for a nice walk just over thirty minutes.

The boys had fun.

This photo was taken Friday night when Alvin had his paws curled around his favourite toy “duck.”

You can tell from this photo that Mr. Alvin needed a hair cut.

I do give him a hair cut on a regular basis but it grows so fast.

He needed the bath – even though I washed him down after our walks, his fur just looked grey.

Supper-time.

Each had their own bowl and they each ate at the same time.

Now Alvin did come and check out Teddy’s bowl when he was finished.

So cute.

Hungry boys

Alvin after his hair cut and bath in the above photo.

Look how white and he feels about 3 pounds lighter.

Also to mention his front paws are his “tender spot” and after likely about an hour on them, this was the best that I could do.

Oh well.

I will try and snip here and there with the scissors.

Out on the deck.

What a beautiful day.

Most of the snow has melted.

YAY …..

 

Well I guess time to get this show on the road.

Humphrey the Cat will be joining us around noon.

So I have some things to do before he arrives.

Perhaps go for a walk before then as well.

Wash floors and prepare for work week.

 

Happy Sunday.

Last day of March – cannot believe it.

I hope that you all have a great day.

 

Special Hello to:  all the women in my life …… you all rock.

Always, Carol & Alvin

 

P.S.  I watched SECOND ACT last night (rented from Telus) with Jennifer Lopez.  I quite enjoyed the movie.
