It has been awhile since I have posted an update on Mom and how she is doing. She’s doing great. Not that it’s easy. Most of you may know that Mom had a stroke, almost 2 years ago – 2 years this coming April. Mom has been steadily doing better and it is just recently that I am seeing more improvements. Yesterday it really hit me when she decided to make muffins and did it completely on her own. Well, I took them out of the oven, but besides that they are 100% hers. She followed a recipe from a magazine – Cranberry muffins – and they turned out great! || Read more
Tomorrow is Christmas eve and we are busy getting ready for it around here. Christmas is mom’s favorite holiday and time of year. She used to start shopping for it in January and every year our tree was the best tree ever! She was always the happiest person around. That’s mom’s nature anyway and I am really blessed that she has this wonderful positive nature. This year, like last, it is harder for her to get ready for Christmas in the same way she used to. Her stroke left her with not being able to drive and even just going out and buying things is a challenge, but she is doing it as well as she can. She has an inner strength that is rare, and I wonder if I could even rise to the challenge as she has with this one. So we are doing our best to make the season bright over here and I have found that it’s really the little things that make all the difference. || Read more
Ok, I am going to blast a post off with lots of cold weather pictures and then that’s it for me.. it’s all tropical rain forests and beaches in my mind for the next month! Maybe if I post enough cold weather pics I’ll come to grips with – the fact that I live in Canada – and that it is winter. sigh. I love our country but I seriously don’t think that many people really want to be here in the middle of the winter. I guess it’s because of family that we stay ..but really I don’t think humans were designed for these extreme cold temperatures. This is crazy. Well, grab your parka and bundle up.. we’re diving in. But right after this post, or maybe right after Christmas, that’s it – I’m hitting the hot tub, defrosting and hibernating to a cozy retreat in my mind where the sand is toasty and the sun is beaming down on me in a bikini. || Read more
This is one of my favorite roads to drive on. It’s the Coverdale Road from our place following the Fundy Bay coast to Riverside Albert, where my brother used to run his Inn. We decided to take a drive down to the Albert County Country fair and see horses, cows, rides, games and the agricultural country event. But I’m posting mainly pictures of the drive.. because I love it. It’s a sentimental thing. The road is twisty and curvy so you often don’t see what’s around the corner in front of you. Great drive for a sportscar.. as long as no one else is around. It’s only 2 lanes. So come with us on a Sunday drive! || Read more
