A BUSY WEEK COMING..

• it seems like this week has every day planned
• but I am looking forward to get some of the things
• caught up so that when spring comes I can be
• outside more often this spring and summer
• I know that I said spring was here but now
• it is snowing here again
• it is fairly light and melting quickly but
• there is not much outside chores that
• can be completed
• Monday is bank and bill day-
• also our our church ladies
• passed away at the wonder age of 96
• so there will be a funeral to take care of
• on Wednesday-
• Tuesday is doctor day and seniors day
• so I will have to balance out both
• it will be nice to not have to cook supper home -
• as supper is at the church this week
• Thursday is meetings day
• so the week will be busy
• have a wonder week and take care
• of each other
• think I can keep all of this in my head
• and then I can report in - :-)

snow rainbow

• our weather man says that we are going to get some snow tomorrow
• and this what our spring does in Alberta-
• and so our world may turn white for a while
• but he did say that it would melt quickly
• I have been out side a lot the last few days
• just enjoying the fresh air and sunshine
• Dogman joins me for a while but he is too old
• to like the wind on his body-so he waits in the
• house most days for me and greets me every time
• I come back into the house
• it does not matter if it is two minutes or two hours
• he is just glad to see me again
• I have been talking to him a lot
• just to reassure him that I am still here
• loving him
• I am feeling better about life in general
• and next week I go back to the specialist to see
• what my tests said about me
• have a wonderful day tomorrow and remember that
• Jesus is in the spring- a spring of hope

SIMPLY BUSY

• spring is here now and looks like it plans to stay
• most of the snow has melted
• so yesterday I got side and re-arranged our outdoor
• chairs and etc plus Dogman's love-seat into the shade
• we are on the south side and it can get quite hot
• by supper time but it would be nice to have some
• picnic suppers out there for the grand kids
• and Meme and Dogman too
• also more shade for Dogman as he can go
• under his loveseat for shade or lay on it
• for a suntan
• Dogman and I had our own picnic supper outside last night
• we swept and dusted and washed and now it is just
• like an extra room
• we had such a long winter and it feels good to
• have the balcony ship shape
• it is quite large as it is Dogman's play ground as
• it is fenced on all sides and then he has
• a personal pee patch a few feet away-
• I find doing things like this does help
• my grief ......yes, there are memories out there too
• but happy rejoicing memories
• now this week end I do have some more yard
• chores to do- and the front will need another week
• of thawing snow before we can do anything
• Miss Ashley can look after that area
• I hope I never lose my love of being busy
• I remember to rest too and I am just beginning
• to learn at my age - to pace myself-
• have a wonder week end
• hugs from Meme who is miles behind in blogging but
• filled with fresh air and sunshine

A SIMPLE MEME DAY

what a lovely weather day- sunshine and soft breeze
and melting snow**
when I walked down town I had on no hat or gloves
this is the first time in 2009 for the gloves and the second day for the hat

the grand daughter and I went to do some small shopping
and then I stopped off and did the church chores-
Miss Ashley rested while I did them because
her feet hurt--LOL- and I thought I was the older lady
alas she is still a teen which means she buys shoes for looks
and not comfort.........

we had a nice day outing together
and we found the neatest book
called ---"I Remember Grandpa''
It is like a journal where you put all sorts of
special memories of grandpa so Oma is going
to do them with the girls-(I got each of the g'kids one)

Miss Ashley is old enough
to put in her memories-
they will be a wonderful
journal for the younger kidlets and if we do them
together Oma can help them with some of the
memories- there are places for photos etc- and
the nice thing is that they were at a dollar store(which
is why I could give one to each of the g'kidlets-
they are made with good quality paper etc -
and have a family tree to also follow and
questions and ideas and a lot of room to write in
the memories-------

so I was pleased- I find that the Lord
gives me so many blessings to help
all of us walk in our grief-
sometimes non christians cannot understand
how I can have joy in my grief

I tell them that my joy is a gift from the Lord
and a gift that Papa hubby prayed for me
before his home-coming-
have a wonder-filled week

IT FEELS LIKE SPRING HERE

• Today was a wonderful spring like day
• and now the snow is melting fast
• before I know it or want too (wink)
• I will be out spring
• cleaning the yard-----
• I am going to keep the outside chores
• simple this year- just a few flowers
• to decorate the balcony
• I like spring as it reminds
• me of renewal
• where everything is restoring --
• we call it spring time in the Rockies
• even though we live about a 100 miles
• from the mountains
• we can see them from a hill a little
• ways from our house and we can see
• the snow on the tops reminding
• us that winter must come too
• ******************************
• cleaning is never easy to do
• but everything looks so nice when we are done
• it is a type of restoration to our
• homes and to us-- and Easter
• reminds us what life is really all about...
• I miss papa hubby being here and
• I am OK and
• OK is enough for now
• happy Sunday to everyone
• and see you soon
