Yahhhh Canada Day!!

Comment Published at 06:4706:4724 comments24 comments44 Visits44 VisitsReport

Happy Birthday Canada,what a quiet peaceful morning around here.  The sun is bright,the birds singing and we are on our way to work camp.  Would be interesting and fun except we both are sick...and old..too old feeling cause we are sick to be bothered doing anything.  That about sums it up!!   So we are going to load the van with tools of the trade and go do stuff.  Whoopy.   Would rather crawl into bed or sit...sitting would be nice,don't even have the energy to pack up all the bedding, food, tools, dog....oh well.   Some times you have to go above and beyond when people depend on you.  Specially when it's your son who is there first when needed and even if he isn't!!   He is always there to help and there are things that have to be done up at the cottage that he depended on us to help with.   We usually do and it is so great to work with him and chat and tease and laugh but the two sickies are not up to that!!!   We are dragging.   We are going to install a hardwood floor.  The dock that is stationary has dropped so that has to be put back right and the huge floating dock launched!   The lawns and place have to be raked and cut.  The cottage needs to be cleaned and it's a rather large place.  Good thing is the cement work has been put on hold until the fall...weeee!!!   Something to look forward to!   The fire wood needs to be cut and hauled down a  45 degree incline...so there is fun!  I am all for throwing it down and then stacking but these guys don't see the fun in that!   Makes sense to me.  Also there is the opening of the shed so we can lauch the boats,need oars and tie downs that sort of thing so it is always me that confronts whatever has moved into the shed.   That's always good for getting the old heart beating!!   As long as whatever doesn't jump on me.  So off to the great wild north,hacking and coughing and trying to breath...waaaa??????  Suck it in woman!   There is work to be done...when am I tooooo old for this???  Haaa,haaa when I can't move a muscle...rage against the age, rage..cough,cough!!!   prey for me...help!

You crazy woman, you know you LOVE IT!  I'd give you a hand but I am busy freezing my buns off and hoping for snow ; )  All that excercise would be so good, then a nature walk and a hot cuppa and some yummo cake LOL.  You are a funny woman, happy birthday to your stunning country xox

I do hope you are feeling better and not over doing things. Yes things must get done but not at your healths expense. Rest up til at least some energy is surging hehehehe I could send my volunteer helper if you'd like. LOL

Marg, you need to look after yourself.  Maybe you could take on the role or supervisor at the cottage.

I would love to come to Canada and help you, but apparently, I'm in the not allowed to fly group now, so my broom is still just gathering dust in the corner.

Rest dear lady, because you need to!!!!

That means no overdoing it like out raking or the such!!!   I said hello to your tiny itty bitty darlings there!   And we chatted to chipmunks too on your behalf!!!  Hugs to you!!!  Sending good vibes for positve outcomes!

happy canada day marg.

oh marg   you are still going down to the cottage ive read janices blogs to you telling you to stay away from cottage

now i know why these chores knock you out at the best of times

pneumonia isnt just a cough but of course you know all this because you have lived this so many times. i know you cant keep you down and you just get on with it without feeling sorry for yourself so i will take your advice and pray for you.

i send all th positive vibes for you and hubby and janice to all get well. i know you all "soldier on" and dont complain and just get on with it but thats what worries me. please at least tahe little breaks in between, even for 15 minutes.

my dear friends i pray and send all the positive vibes your ways

cheers annie

Re: Yahhhh Canada Day!!

Happy Birthday Canada? is that the Union of the Federation we learned about in school? My brain is awakening and something is shouting about provinces, must look it up,hehe. Ah Miss Marg, true grit sure runs in your veins, but dont over do it, and if throwing is more fun and gets the job done then why not????LOL. Hope there are no lurking bears in that shed or wild cats or infact anything that likes to lurk for that matter. Take care of you and yours.

Luv Winnie.xxxx

Hi Pauline!! Computers have changed the world!! Hubby got our kiddies started early cause he figured they would indeed change everything so we had one of the first ones.  Do you remember when they said home computers would never happen because no one would give up a room of their home to house one! LOL!! Now you can carry them in your hand. Crazy!!! I have learned tons too...did you know Australia has plastic money!!!!
