On growing older...

Lately when I look in the mirror I see evidence that I am aging. No shock there but I guess the way I feel about it is. I see the wrinkles forming by my eyes and think that they have been caused by all the laughing I have done over the years. Those wrinkles I welcome because they are a testament to the happiness I have been blessed with over the years. Laugh lines... a testament to my life with family and friends.

Another weekend comes to a close...

I was going to start my post saying something like - so much to do and so little time... blah blah...- but

Two of our family members in Edmonton had an awful weekend! First poor Collin was stabbed! Can you believe that ? Good God in his own backyard no less on Friday. Then yesterday Jenn was on her way from work to a family function and getting a ride with a co-worker and their car was hit by someone running a red light. That asshole fled the scene! Steve's car is a write off and Jenn was unconscious for 6 hours and in hospital. The impact was on her side and the car was spun around. Collin and Jenn missed Mum and Dad's much belated birthday celebrations but thank goodness they are both still alive and going to be alright. Unbelievable. I am Gobsmacked to say the least.

Around here things were more low key. Thankfully ! I had a client on Thursday morning a nice Chocolate Lab. After 10 days of cat sitting I am done. Pam has been working away on a coarse of course!! Hah, so punny!! Steph is readying herself for her interview on Monday. Pam has helped her prepare for the interview questions they will most likely ask her and coached her with questions that she may want to ask them. She's kind of nervous but I think she'll do awesome! It seems right up her ally. I'm still digging my trench out back so that my doggies will have a much nicer backyard to hang out in.

The crocus are all up and even starting to finish. Some tulips are still coming up and some are already done. The flowering bushes are starting to pop too! The trees are budding and some of them are even starting to open up into leaves. The grass in the back is very green already. The front not so much yet but it will come!! Spring is definitely a foot on the East Coast!
