Today please read
My Recipe Blog Too
Thank You


It is Tuesday sunny beautiful morning with 19 C It is 11.30, I am
with my Daughter at the Grimsby central library. She wants to check out
if there are some activities for me to enjoy like my own Senior's Club
in Toronto.

 She also has to drop some books as donation. I checked the activities in 
library brochure, there was none of my interest. There was Tai chi for
2 ponds, Sewing, tea party for 8 ponds, computer basic for 4 ponds, 
many such things.

 After that I asked my Daughter to drop me at the Grimsby train station.
I stayed there for a while then decided to go to Freshney Place, the shopping
Centre. It is just 5 minutes walking distance from the station. 

 It is 12.30, I am sitting at Costa, having tea and fruit bun, freshly baked
very tasty. My tea is in china tea pot and cup. It was just couple of days back
on 13th of July, I was here with two of my Daughters.Time flies things 
change so quickly,. We have to value the moments in hand.

 My Youngest Daughter now gone home to Reading. I am enjoying my tea
busy writing my Blog, still I can not stop myself from thinking about the
precious moments, which I spent with my Daughters.

 Last night I didn't have good sleep. I was about to sleep, it was 12 midnight.
My Eldest grandson entered from somewhere, he wanted to talk to me. to
spend some time just one on one with me. 

 We were sitting downstairs in the sitting room, for more than an hour.
I went to bed after 1.30 night. When we are old, we can not sleep right 
away, it takes time. Anyway, I am OK now, enjoying my Day. 

Two of My Daughters calling me to keep connection. It is nearly 2 pm, 
my Daughter coming to pick me up. I am done with my Blog
have to go, talk to you later.

 Father just try to understand, Food at the Grand Party was all from
outside. My Daughter didn't cook anything for the guests. Her two sisters
helped her out to make food for people at home. Not many just fifteen.
Don't twist things to bother Kris, Hannah and Niklas.

      Apparently lobby D also ran out of copies. I put extra copies today as I know some people take more than one, but looks like people are taking more.

      I have now re-supplied lobbies A and D with the copies of the recipe blog. Lobbies B and C were also running low, so I have replenished the supplies there too. Hopefully it will be ok now but let me know if you need more

    Dear Advisor,

    The retirees did not go for our long walk today. We are still very tired from the walk from yesterday. 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 are amazed that you are enjoying your time in a foreign land just like you do at home. The retirees are also amazed that you are continuing to share recipes and blogs at the same pace as before. As is customary on these readings on Thursdays, there was a wide array of listeners who were here including hospital administrators, cooking staff, retired and active chefs, physicians, nurses as well as numerous ex patients. They all thanked you for your blog and recipe

    thank you
    recent retiree

    Dear Author,

    We read your blog at the SRC today. The Smile Army simply loved your blog. They are big meat eaters and like meat, so your recipe blog was something they really enjoyed. The vegetarian students were a little down because the Army thought that you don't like vegetarian food. The students were also down because their parents are continuing to micro manage their time. We know that you explained to us that this is because they care for us but they need to understand that we are only with them for a few days. Once we go back to the dorms, then they cant even keep tabs on us. Some students feel that they wish their parents are like those of the lucky guy because in most cases, we are told that we need to be in the house by 11pm otherwise they will lock us out, they don't give us cars but do give us long lectures and explain the same things many many times. It is so frustrating. We know that the lucky guy is probably spared all this because of you explaining to your son about all this.

    thank you

    You know Plunker that kids will be kids. Why worry about them. Some are worse than others. And I guess we are dealing with one of the bad one

Bird are busy picknicking

    Beautiful morning sunny and bright. No more rain. We had already more than enough of it. Grass and flowers, don't need any watering. It is 26 C, hot day.   This is weekend, I have to do my hair color. My friend invited me for afternoon tea. I will go there. It is always good to be with friends and family. We have to accept invitations, to make our day. I think, calls are sort of blessings. Signals from God for us to gather happiness. Life is nearly the same for everyone. It is all up to us, how we take it.  Try to give color to the moments in hand. Sitting idle, doing nothing, won't bring happiness. Try to be active, do something, anything you like to do. Go for walk, to look the scenery around.  Some people like outdoors, some not. They like to be indoors. Find the spot of your choice in your garden / balcony, get book / magazine of your interest, to be happy. Bird watching is beautiful. You feel great, watching them doing things, you get involved.

     October 29th 2024 It's a different scenario today. Cloudy morning hazy sky. Sun is hiding under his gray blanket. It is Tuesday so I don't have to go to work. No Darts today at the library. It is a day off for me. I have to make other plans to make my day. Day offs are like clean slates. We have to write our schedule to fill out the columns of the day. When we have to go to work or school, our timings are all set.  We don't have to worry about how to pass our time. We have just a couple of hours left to sort out after coming back from our workplace or school. Weekends and day offs are tricky. We need some homework to fill out our day slots. Try to make it like a combo, a mixed plate to have a taste of everything. Day offs are like blank sheets. We can write, paint, whatever we want to do, to fill out. Every day is like a container with twenty four hours of consignment. It's delivered every morning.  We have to open it and use to finish it up. It all has to be done

      October 22nd 2024 Great morning 18C. It is like summer for Canadians. Couple of more days to enjoy the outdoors.  Beautiful leaves of all colors are everywhere giving a scenic look to the atmosphere to behold and to cherish these moments. Nature is amazing. There is always something for we Humans to make our day. Take some time off from your day today to look around. You will find beauty everywhere. It doesn't matter in which part of the world you live. Don't have to plan for long trips. It is all at your doorsteps. Keep your eyes open and take a break to smell the nature around. You will get the flavor and also inner peace deep down. It will be a rare happiness all on its own. You don't have to make any payments, any investments for that. Just a time alone slot and all the transactions will be done. It works like meditation. It's 11.45, I am at Tim Hortons enjoying my small tea, not coffee today. We have to change our menu too. It works something like a change of
