GNARLY TOENAILS

I take my sandals off , and hop in the boat and all the "boys" do the same. Taking off our shoes before we enter the boat, is a rule we decided on this year. It seems like a good rule. The carpet stays clean, and I like that. However, I wasn't expecting some of the visually scary sights.  GNARLY TOENAILS! It seems that, boys, and even men, do not care about the looks of their toenails. I have seen it all this week. From, just dirty, to long and dirty, to pointy, to black. I have seen it all. Not that my toenails are perfect, but they are clean and presentable. I just want to say to young men, rule of thumb: In the summer take care of those toenails, its very hard to stomach! LOL

So I guess my dilemma is do I change the rule, to shoes are Ok?

I decided to put pretty nails on here, not gnarly ones.

Greetings from Kelowna!

This is for my best friend, I am writing on my blog!! I am having my morning coffee and watching dragon boat races, from my patio. It is the women's division and they are working hard. It is a windy day and I am hoping it calms down some, so we can get out on the new boat. It is all shined up and looking good!




Two of my boys, are on a paddle boat. The youngest, and one of my teenagers. Evan, the youngest, pestered, until he got his way. Carrie, imagine that an OEB, pestering and being obsessive. So Michael, said fine let's go and get this over with. Such brotherly love!! LOL.


Tomorrow my twin sister is bringing her family for a visit and I am looking forward to seeing them all. Especially Emily, my neice, I have a special love for that girl!


Have a wonderful day everyone, especially Ole Gookam, you know who you are!!

Bike, new headphones, and sun!

What a great day today! Just a wonderful day to bike away! So I did. I also purchased new Bose, headphones, and had a new playlist. What more could I ask for?  It was extremely satisfying to bike through our trails and just soak in spring. Just a great day to be Me!

These are simply the best headphones.I am super picky because I need them tight, I hate when headphones fall out. These are perfect and the sound well.. Its Bose sound, incredible!

I dont want to jinx things,,,

BUT I think maybe SPRING is finally here!!! we havn't had any snow in about a week and I saw a butterfly. I had the best run today, no water or ice on the side walks.. I am also bringing up the patio furniture. This has been the longest winter I can remember, so I am ready for some sun and heat!

Bring on Spring!!!!

SMILE DAY 40...

SMILE DAY 40....      Well today is the last of my 40 days of smiles, for lent. It has been a wonderful thing for me to do.  Too often I remember the negatives, throughout the day, instead of the positives. This was a great way for me to realize how blessed I am. I am lucky to have the life I have and to be loved, by the people who are in my life.  I saw joy in little things everyday, and I could have easily written more than one smile. I will continue on, my smiles , with my own gratitude journal, and posting once a week.  Smile it does a mind and soul good!

DAY 39...

SMILE DAY 39...                 It is nearing the end of the 40 days of lent. Tomorrow is Palm Sunday, the day Jesus went to Jeruselum and palms were waved in his honor. Tonight I was getting ready for church, the 3 boys really did not want to go, but they were coming regardless what they wanted ( yes I can be mean). SO I am leaving to get into the car, and I see Mike.. I say "what are you doing? " and he says I am coming to church.." (mike does not come to church very much and i never really push him)... I was very happy, especially since the kids were being defiant. Even the kids asked him what he was doing. My smile is that he came with me, I know to support me in my cause... Thank you .. Smile!
