Good Morning and Welcome to Friday the 14th day of October, 2016.
YAY, today is Friday and we woke up to dry ground.
Appears we missed the overnight freezing rain and snow mix.
One down “192” days to go.
You are likely wondering what “192” days represents.
Just a quick calculation of the length of our possible winter.
Not so bad.
One less day with a pile of snow or even one morning with less snow is great.
Walking to the bus in a couple feet of snow when your legs are only three feet long is not much fun.
Please be giggling now.
I will admit somedays it is funny watching me wade through the snowbanks.
Last year I had to hold onto the rose bushes for support along the walk way as there was so much snow.
I got to work and was pulling out leaves from my hair, coat and scarf.
In retrospect it was truly funny.
Felt like I was on a winter adventure.
Trying to walk on this snow bank while holding onto the rose bushes.
Trying not to damage them.
The big thing is “snow removal.”
In the wintertime residential areas are the last ones to have the snow removed.
If you have to leave home in the early morning you are at the mercy of Mother Nature.
I have been fortunate as my “adventures” have been few and far between.
Sounds like this might be the winter to change that.
Oh well.
That is okay.
Well almost time to get this show on the road.
I hope that wherever you are …. whatever you are doing……that you are safe and warm.
If you have to drive ….. watch your speed ….. ABSOLUTELY NO TEXTING or TALKING ON THE CELL PHONE….
Your life and the lives of others are so precious.
If you must send a message or take a call – pull over.
Also when you are pulling back out into traffic …. look behind you.
I saw a young woman pulling over the other day in my neighbourhood …. sent a text and pulled out without looking …. sure enough there was
a truck right there and if he had not swerved they would have collided.
Just a reminder to be aware.
Okay time to go.
Happy Friday All….
It would be so nice if there was coffee ready when I got to work this morning.
Thank you.
Special Hello to: all my friends all over the world.
Always, Carol and Alvin
