A Fall Day adventure with Pup Pup 2012



Pup Pup steps out the door,
'Ahh' what a beautiful day for a drive"
 
"Wait, that skunk was back last night".
 
"I love playing in the leaves,
maybe I will...........
play with these interesting balls
that mommy is trying to photograph
before the sun hits...oh too late".
 
Back from my drive.
Mommy drove me to the Dollar Store,
where I got her to buy these rats..
and this hand.
 
Well,
I think I will head inside but first, I want
to show you my new haircut
Mommy took me to the beauty parlor

Sherry was very nice to me. 
 
I am so proud
to be Canadian.

The Mom Song with lyrics



A post on my facebook this morning:
"I thought that you may like this mom, it was a side note in my Soc Text. I can tell you some of it sounds like things you say... Love you Mom"

Outing


I started driving and it looked like the above,
see the fog way in the back? 

Well, 


I came across a bridge built in 1931 and below were these fellows playing 

 Oh YES, I traveled through MOOSE country. 

This was marking the house number.


That night it rained ALL night
and through the day...

Love, Respect, and all that comes with it.

 
 
 
 
I have just worked a 13.5 hour day,
with only 9.5 hours between it
and my previous 10 hour shift.
 
The bath water is how I like it - hot.
I lie back and pick up
the current Avon booklet.
I finished Butterbox Babies
by Bette L. Cahill last night.
I wanted something light.
 
I hear my cell in my Office
"Your Daughter is attempting
to reach you on your
cellular device".
 
I quickly grab the towel,
trip over the dog,
and slide into my Office.
 
I am so fortunate that
my girl knows that she can
reach out anytime,
even at 12:30 in the morning,
just to talk things out.
 
She is doing great at University,
loving being away
from the Community in which she grew up -
you know, the small town - nothing here,
but the people.  She loves people.
 
However, she has a heavy
course load - aiming to become
an Anthropologist
with a minor in Archeology.
And she became involved
with the Theatre Group.
 
Well, for one of her courses
she has required 'volunteer' time
of no less than 15 hours in this semester,
and Theatre has 15 hours practice a week,
along with learning the lines
to Gut Girls.
 
Add to that the study,
research, and papers due,
maintaining a GPA of 3.5 or higher.
And with everything else,
 living in Residence
where some folks have yet to learn
that they are there
 to LEARN.
 
She was feeling a bit
overwhelmed by it all.
Don't we all sometimes, right?
 
So, we chatted for an hour,
well, I mostly listened.
She had called to ask my opinion,
 to 'bounce' some thoughts,
and to de-stress a bit. 
 
I am feeling so .....
thankful? Yes
lucky?  Yes
fortunate? Yes
blessed? Yes
respected? Yes
needed? Yes
appreciated? Yes
proud? Yes
tearful? Yes
 
 
We love you baby girl!   And we can't
and won't ever, be able to tell you enough
how much we love you and how proud we
are of you no matter what!!!! 
Call anytime.
 
Love Mama

A day out

After a morning at the local market,
 
and a quick stop on the lawn,
we enjoyed a visit in the yard.
 
The Grapevines have overtaken an old fence and grew into the tree.
 

Fall in the Maritimes.

One room that says so much if one takes the time

 
 
Black Rose was home for a visit last weekend.
So, it was one of those "mom" moments ,
you know them....
"The local charity is doing a pick-up,
so let's go through your room
anything you don't want,
don't like,
doesn't fit',
won't fit,
just plain YUCK,
goes into the bags".
 
Somewhere
I have a photo of her not much
past this age lying on her 'new' bed,
which is her current bed.
There's a story there for another day.
 

 
A glimpse of the child she was
and
the beautiful young lady she has become
through my lense today.
 
\
She would sit for hours and read
Big Birds Big Book (sigh)

then it was Theatre, guitar, black roses and boys.

LOVE this Sun-dried Tomato by Benjamin Moore!!

Previuosly she had a blue comforter and such
so, surprise BR!!
 
Note the skull she made next to a teddy bear, the black tree by the Polly Pockets.
Juxapositions of this extraordinary young woman.

Sportin' new jewellery

 
 
Well, it's not my Birthday,
nor my anniversary.
But I am sporting some new
jewellery.
 
Not what you're thinking though.
 
Nope.
 
Here I am at the local Tim Hortons
getting my Large Strawberry/Banana smoothie with yogurt.
 
 
Because you see, that's about all I can handle right now.
I tried eating wonton soup, but just landed
up with most of it dribbled down my chin.
 
Here we are visiting some nice folks
like Pauline, Jessica, Christine and Nancy.  

I had a toothache on Saturday that had gotten worse by Sunday.
So, I went to the After Hours Clinc nearby.
I got a prescription for an abcessed tooth.
And, like a good girl,
started it right away.
Well, 2 days later, I walked into my
Doctor's Office as soon as they opened.
And, although I already have chubby cheeks and a couple of chins,
didn't really need to tell her I was having issues.
She sent me directly from her Office to the Hospital
to begin medication by IV right away.
I have been going every 8 hours for 2 days.
Tonight, well tomorrow at 12:01 is my last one.
 
Then, Friday, I head back to see her
in hopes of getting additional medication.
Friday next, it's off to the Dentist to have
this tooth removed.
I should look GREAT for Halloween don't you think?
