        2020



It is bright beautiful sunny Friday morning with 5 C below zero.
I usually work full time on Fridays but today there is some renovation
work is going on in my library so no Darts, no Bowling for me. I have 
my day plan to pass my day.

My son is working from home so in the morning, I enjoyed breakfast 
with him. After that my youngest daughter called me from Reading, 
England. Her school is closed so she is planning to go to Grimsby, to 
her sister's place for couple of days.

Grimsby is five hours drive from Reading but in England, you can't 
predict the drive time. It all depends on Motorway. Sometimes you are 
stuck there for hours. 

My middle daughter also called me from Grimsby. We use to talk every 
day to connect. She is five hours ahead of our time in Toronto. Day is 
nearly done for her in England. 

It is 11.45, I am getting ready for my walk. My son wanted me to drive 
but I preferred to walk. My back is better but still not 100%. It will 
take time.We have to push ourselves. 

What we don't use, we lose, same is with our body parts. It is cold and 
windy but I am dressed up in layers. I have my winter coat and gloves on, 
still I am freezing. It is 12.15, I am at Tim Horton, enjoying my coffee, my 
time alone slot and busy writing my Blog.

Coffee House is full with students from the nearby Dunbarton High School.
They are enjoying their time with the company of their choice. Some old 
faces like mine are also here with whatever company they can have. 

At our age, I think, we don't have to waste our time in pick and choose. 
Just go with the flow, try to accommodate with whatever is available. 
It is 2 pm, my eldest grandson is coming to pick me up. 

It is Monday sunny bright beautiful morning. Yesterday was very cold
11 C below zero, today much better still cold. What you expect, this is 
Canada and it is December so no complaints.

Take it whatever is there and enjoy your moments. Time flies my Dear.
Moments are slipping from our hands so value every moment, to enjoy. 
Life is a gift from God. Don't waste it, try to be happy and spread 
happiness around.

Today I am working part time, playing Darts, no Bowling on Mondays.
It is 12.30, I am home. My eldest grandson is here. He has couple of weeks
off from his Uni. I will make banana shake and scrambled eggs, for his
lunch.

It is 2 pm, I am now with my computer, going through my Facebook 
messages. Not many to check. Just one from my childhood friend, from 
Perth. She writes to me every day, to keep connected.

Two of my daughters write Facebook messages. My second youngest 
daughter, lives in Kent, England, and my eldest one, lives in Edmonton, 
Canada, they both use to make calls. 

It is 3.30, my grandson going to his friend's place, he will drive me to the 
Pickering Mall, my son will pick me up at 5.30, while coming back from his 
work. I will walk around and enjoy my time.

It is 3.45, I am at the Mall, went to Shoppers Drug Mart, to get my hair 
shampoo, it was on sale, 600 ml for $ 6.99. I went to Dollarama, my favorite 
store, got pack of eight gift cards for $ 1. 25, also got my gloves and one nice 
multicolored, striped stole.

I also got one bottle of Mountain Dew for my youngest grandson, to make 
him happy. It is 5.15, I am sitting in the Food Court, enjoying my coffee with
half hot water and oatmeal raisin biscuit, writing my Blog. I also got one 
10 dollar gift card for one of my friend.

Dear "N", I can understand. You are thinking just like my sister. She called 
my youngest daughter, asked her to stop me from my trip to Chicago. She 
didn't want to see anyone but when I was there, she had great time with me. 

She was very thankful that I came to see her at the Retirement Home.
Believe me you will have good time. Be with your family, you will enjoy.
I have to go, my son is here to pick me up. Talk to you later. Have a great 
day all of you my Friends.
