Great Bargain

 It is Friday sunny beautiful morning with 22 C very busy day as tomorrow 
on Saturday will be house full. Everyone will be here for the Big Party.
Yesterday my Youngest Daughter came from Reading with Family.

 I was with her in the Hotel for a while afterwards she came home with whole family to see her Sister. They stayed till 11.30 night then left to sleep 
in their room at the Hotel.

 Today after having breakfast over there in the Hotel, everyone came home.
Kids were enjoying with their own company. My Daughters went to the 
Shopping Centre. They have to get things from there. I was with them,
we had pictures had ice cream from Buskin Robbins.

 I gave Twenty ponds each to kids and twenty five ponds to each to my 
Daughters. I will give Fifty Ponds to my Son in law for his Birthday 
tomorrow at the ceremony. I love to give gifts to my kids and grand kids.

 It is better to give money as they can get what they want. My Youngest 
Daughter got a nice Black Shirt with white embroidery from Monsoon
for the money I gave to her. 

 These are rare moments we can cash to cherish. My Youngest will be 
leaving on Sunday morning. We have to cash every moment so not to 
regret after. Time flies and things change. 

 Tonight My Daughter from Croydon coming with her family. One of my
Grand Daughter, who was married last year also coming with her husband.
I will give Fifty ponds to them together. They can get whatever they want. 

 I don't know when can I see them again as everyone is working some 
came from Uni for summer holidays. Gift is sort of life line, it keeps connections alive. I don't mind giving money, I think it is a great bargain.

 Right now I am busy watering plants in my Daughter's back garden.
Both of the Youngest from two of my daughters, are helping me out.
One is holding the pipe the other is checking that flow of water is OK.

 I don't need help but they want to help me out in their own way.
What a lovely attitude of my grand kids. I think I am a lucky grandma.
Thank you God for making my Days Brighter.

    I have posted the blog in Smile Corner. Most customers did not go for the Sunday services at the church. The priest is down at the attendance since there are people visiting us from outside our small town but they only come to Smile Corner. One out of town customer was saying to the local customer that you are lucky that you get to read these blogs right away whereas we have to wait for a week. The local customers offered them Morning Smile and I served them Yogurt Smoothie.

    Dear Advisor,

    The retirees did not go for our long walk today. We are still very tired. Some of the retirees are still suffering from cramps also. This walk, though very long for us, is nothing compared to the walks that you have. The retirees instead went straight to the reading of your blog.

    The retirees were surprised that you are giving so lavish presents to your grandkids. Many retirees noted that we don't give any presents excepts chocolates and cadies to our grandkids. The retirees are wondering how you create the budget.

    thank you

    As you regale with friends and family, you are continuing to school your readers in the fine art of living a blissful and purposeful life. You are doing all this through the power of your inspired folksy tone of inscriptions.

    As you continue your well deserved vacation, we thought it will be worth letting you know how much influence you have had on us, and how radically you have transformed us.

    As some of your other readers have expressed, we share some of that concern about you labouring tirelessly and not seeking any R and R. We also contentedly noted that unlike your scion, your progeniture based in the continent have been kind to you, as they should be.

    thank you for making our days brighter
    Dave and Linda

    Dear Author,

    We read your blog at the Smile Garden. Mrs Lucy brought yogurt smoothies for us as it is too hot there. Prof George was heard saying to one of the professors who was there that Smile is not only teaching the kids but she is teaching us all in the art of living. The Dean heard that and responded that it is true but Smile has been doing that since the outset.

    thank you

    My rude daughter in law does not believe in giving gifts to anyone. I don't want to say anything but she is a little slow.

  January 12th 2024 It is around mid of January. Time for us to, start getting snow storms. This will be off an on, for the next couple of weeks. It is 10.15, mixed sunny cloudy morning, windy too. Gusts are 38 to 48 km.  Friday used to be my work day, not today. Kids day camp is going on in the library, at my work place. I am off for the whole week. I have to find my own things to do, to get busy. From Monday, things will be back on track. I will be having my regular work hours. It is 11.45, I am getting ready to walk to Tim Hortons. I take it as my second home. I know that it is cold and windy. I am all set with gloves, stole and three layers underneath my winter coat. I will be fine. Whites Road and walkway is, all clear of snow. I see some white patches of snow, by the side of road, under trees and bushes. This is the beauty of Toronto, snow cleared right away. It looks like a usual wintry day. No snow. Everything working, normal routine. Nothing stops, so is my walk. I am at Tim H

  July 7th 2023 It is hot sunny morning, 9.15 and already 24 C, feel like 26. I woke up early, done with my breakfast. Talked to one of my daughters, my middle one, called me from Grimsby.  She was going home, done with her work. It was a brief talk. She was busy, picking up her son, on the way from school. My other daughters are still at work. They will call me later on. We talk everyday, not much, just to connect.  I am busy with my computer. No message from my childhood friend. She never skips, must be busy. She was at her son's place in Sydney, was planning to go back to Perth, to be with her daughter. She must be stuck, other matters to be resolved. Anyway we have to find our own, "Things to do", to get busy, to make our day. Don't have to wait for people's calls and messages. I am busy playing Scrabble and Card games on my computer. Computer is sort of Blessing for me. I don't know how my Mom used to pass her time without phone and computer. How come she

  June 13th 2023 Beautiful morning. Great weather. It was raining all day, yesterday. Stopped at late night. I was working, Mondays are my work days. Have to go to play Darts. It starts at 9.30 in mornings. We were thirteen all together. Picked our numbers to make teams. Two boards with four teams. Three players in each. One team was odd, I mean with four. Anyway we enjoyed. Thirteen seniors on a rainy day, out to play, to enjoy time together. Amazing at that age. Gives inner peace. Boosts will power with affirmation that we still can do it. Rain or no rain, nothing can stop, to make our day. I think, will is everything behind your motto. When there is a will, there is always a way to go ahead, to move on, to do what you want. Today is Tuesday, weather is great 18 C, a bit on a cooler side. I am off, not working on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Last week I booked my flight to England. My daughters were pushing me for that. Asking me to come, to visit. Travel is too demanding at our age. Too
