Another angel amongst us all

Our prayers and thoughts go out to Edmond, Carol, Charles and the whole family. It was sad news to learn of Josephine passing but I for one, am so happy to have known this most amazing woman! Her spirit will live on.

OT- Joe is venturing into new territory...the world of EI!!!! He has started the paperwork but included TOO MUCH information according to the person he was speaking to! After paying all those years, he may just get to be on the receiving end of things. I'm not sure if I should be happy about this or not....but Joe is going to talk about some re training possibilities. Now he just has to figure out what he wants to be when he grows up! lol

Kevin is the proud owner of a brand new laptop! He must be doing something right because I agreed to set up wi fi in the house for him and set up security coverage as well as he surfs the 'net! It'll keep him in contact with family & friends as well as help on those school assignments. I know there's been a few times when I wanted to do something on my computer to find hi, there with papers spread out over the desk. I know it isn't as cool as a snowboard but it will serve him well for many years to come, especially if he wants to go to post secondary.

I'm between projects...trying to finalize the design of my next quilting project while trying to purge more of Dad's paperwork from years gone by. I wasn't in the right frame of mind before but I had a blast re-connecting with Dad over the weekend. I am my father's daughter...no doubt about that. Dad charted his annual utility bills on the flap of the manila folders, from 1972 until the dementia set in. Just so happens that I do the same thing only I use an Excel spreadsheet!!!!! Dad would approve!

It was a great weekend despite the sombre news. Live each day to its fullest!


Time with JR

It was a great visit with my little buddy Jonathan. He showed me the ropes, which pieces go to which train set, where the race car track was and most importantly where the treats are kept!
Everything came to a screeching halt while we were playing on the floor when Mickey Mouse and his friends came on television. There was no distracting this fan!
I even tried tickling his feet...he just shoo'd me away and continued to watch his program.
Later after checking out each of the other small bins of toys, we headed to the toy box and what better way to find out what was on the bottom than to climb right in!
And by mid afternoon, it was time for a little shut eye under the Friendship Star quilt I made for him last year! Sleep tight Jonathan! Thanks fro letting Nannie come and play with you!


Catching up while JR naps

What a busy little boy Jonathan is! Smart though...he figured out all the parts to one of his train sets and helped me put it together. Before I knew it, he had the train going around in happy circles. Then we progressed to colouring and cars and more Mickey Mouse Clubhouse! So why am I blogging and not napping?????

I'm feeling better since passing my flu/cold on to Kevin. He had Monday off school and was sick in bed the whole day...and Tuesday and Wednesday morning. Kudos to him for going to school for his afternoon classes! 16 going on 30!

Joe got his truck back from the shop. After 10 months of non use it needed a new starter...which was warranty covered. Yeah!!! And we got our roof repaired for much less than we had anticipated...no insurance claim...double Yeah!!!! I think it helped that they had other homes to repair in the area and they just charged us the cost of the replacement shingles. I haven't been home to see for myself but I trust they are the same as the other ones!!!!

Heather got me on to Rock Band last night...I sucked big time especially when I only heard half the instructions! lol Then I got better and then I moved from guitar to drums and found out that my feet and hands don't work together...reminded me of Elaine's dancing on SEINFELD!

On the road home tomorrow before Gardening meeting with author Maggie Clayton!

With all the excitement on Monday...I forgot to post photos from the weekend. JR is 2, active and has the most expressive face. He smiles and his whole face lights up!





Relaxing in bed with Elmo and a little bit of Sesame Street...what a sweetie. Thanks for the wonderful visit! Love Nannie
