A Long But Good Day

Yes today had been a long but good day.  I never slept a wink, but hope \I do tonight.  Paul and I headed to Timmie's very early to have the vehicle ahead of us pay for our order !!!  what a great way to start our day with someone paying it forward .... gotta love it.

Do you pay it forward in some way to a stranger(s).  I am pretty certain I do whenever possible.  The last that comes to mind was when I helped a lady get in her vehicle, she had thought I had been a medical worker, which I replied to that I was just a homemaker ... homemakers are pretty special people, don`t you know?  I had made her day and that is what counted.

Make someone else's day today !!!

I spent the day with my sister, Donna.  I even took her little Taz, weiner doggie, for a walk throught Woodland Cemetery.  At 4 pm I headed back to Paul & Liz's where I had a shower and we had some dinner.

I am so exhausted I can barely see, never mind type.  On that note I am going to call it a day here, South of the Checkerboard in New Hamburg.

A Busy Day Away

Another sleepless night engulfed me, but did not hold me back from heading South to see my grandchildren .... 

Not long after arriving we headed out to Costco so I could load up on Dog Food.  While we were headed out and about, Rob had been home finishing up the new whelping pen for our Portia.

The "Gang" saying "hello" to Poppa via text message.  Portia not to happy at all in her new pen, photo sent to me via text message from Rob.  Love text photos !

Aiden had not wanted to go shopping, or go to Costco, however while Chloe, Connor & Briar had been up getting samples, Aiden was enjoying one himself inside my shopping cart, all happy as can be as you can see....

Next stop had been the Value Village, well really 2 different ones in Kitchener, where we scored BIG with 50% off on all Summer attire !!!  the kids got mega shorts, tops and more for $30.00, while I got 3 pair of capris (name brannd) and 2 new tops for $22.00.  Couldn't beat the deals we had got ourselves this day.

The boys we had dropped back off to their Mother, after we had all dined at McDonald's, then the rest of us made our way back home to New Hamburg.

Before heading home, we stopped across the street from Castle Kilbride in Baden to have ourselves a Shaw's Ice Cream Cone.  Music at the Castle in the summer months.

Sigh... can I say "tired"? I sure can.  Tomorrow I am off to spend the day with my sister, Donna, in Kitchener.

I hope to find myself sleeping shortly, South of the Checkerboard in New Hamburg.

One Thing Done

The one thing done today was my bathroom cleaned.  The WHOLE bathroom.  It almost killed me but I did it.  I also managed to go downtown with Rob late this afternoon on a couple of errands which had to be done.

Susan, as always, it was nice to see you downtown today.

I had a cat nap if that is what I would call the laydown I had this afternoon.  I pray sleep comes quickly to stay with me all through the night for a change.

I am still feeling not well, and yes I do feel like a Mack Truck has rolled across my body a few times over.  On that note I shall call it a night by heading off to my bed (which was made today), Just North of Wiarton & South of the Checkerboard.

All Day Long

The couch has been my friend all day long  I have been sleeping on and off the whole of the day.

This will also be all she wrote this day, Just North of Wiarton & South of the Checkerboard.

Down For The Count

Yes it has finally caught up with me and I am now down for the count.  My throat is burning and raw, my glands are swollen, and my head is ready to explode with a runny stuffy nose to boot.

I am sick, and nothing at the moment is taking that from me.  And
sleep? whatever might that be she asks.

This is all she wrote this day, but not all she has done this day, Just North of Wiarton & South of the Checkerboard.

Whirlwind(s)

Our whirlwind of children have left the building, but not first until they had visited Great-Grandma.

What a happy bunch, are they all not?

Not only were our children a whirlwind passing through, so had the weather been, and still is.\

Heavy rains, hail and threats of tornadoes all day.  The rains are still coming down steady.

Vicki & I had gone up to the Market at the Handcraft House up Hwy. 6 today.  Nothing too adventurous but to put some time in and nose around.  This evening we all went out to the new Asian Buffet in Owen Sound, which had previously been the King's Buffet.  I have to admit it had been quite good

After all the whirlwinds this past weekend had brought, both Rob and I are all in but for our shirttails, Just North of Wiarton & South of the Checkerboard.

Spent

All my teaspoons of energy have been over spent.  It has been a busy day but still nice to have the kids here, all seven of them, and our BFF, Doug & Vicki.

Vicki & I hit the roads this morning to do some Garage Saling.  Prior to that I had been awake from midnight, and out for a walk with Buddy at 5 am.  Yes I am tired .... but here are a couple of photos:

More Photographs to follow tomorrow, as this girl is heading to bed soon, Just North of Wiarton & South of the Checkerboard.
