Thought Of The Day

18th August -- It is 12.15, I am sitting on seat # 32 H with my seat belt on. It is Air Canada flight # 825, time to fly to Toronto and to say Good Bye to  England and t o all the beautiful moments, I spent with my daughters, in  Rochester, Grimsby and in Reading. I checked in my suitcase. My  computer is packed  in my carry on trolley .  I also have  to carry my  baggage of  memories with me . It is too  precious  to  pack in the  luggage.  I have to  put that at  somewhere safe  enough.  I think my  Memory Box  will be  fine for that.  My youngest daughter  and her husband,  were at Heathrow Airport, to see me off. It is seven plus hours flight. I will be home at around 4 pm  Toronto  time.  In England it will be 9 pm. Door to door will be fourteen  hours.  I enjoyed my  trip to my Daughters land. No complains . 1...

13th August -- I am packing my stuff to go to Reading to my youngest  daughter's place. It is around 2 hours drive.  She came to Rochester to  pick me up.  It is  6.30 pm I am sitting in my daughter's back garden,  enjoying  my evening  cup of tea. On my left is the scenic spot with unique collection of variety of flower pots.  I can see the bottle green ceramic pair of boots with white flowers. The  black  wire cat with Thyme. The colorful wooden doll with beautiful  metallic flower  in between the all green. The two bottle green wire chairs are there to have seat. I am now sitting  with  my daughter, enjoying my cup of tea and the whole view around.  I have four  days left to enjoy my trip in England. 14th August -- It is 5 pm I am sitting in Costa Coffee House. My daughter  is with me. She is having Soya Latte, I am enjoying black tea with milk  and sugar  w...

August 8th -- I am at Rochester at my other daughter's place. Grimsby  is  now history. I am done with visiting two of my childhood friends and  my  younger sister. Now I have to focus on the rest of my trip in  England. I was at Rochester last month too, from 15th to 30th June. My  daughter  was working at that time. Her school holidays started by the end of July. I used  to roam  at  the High Street,  to pass my time. I  made  couple of  new  friends.  One is Elizabeth.  She runs  "Six Travelers" museum and charity programs.  Today I went to Rochester  High Street to say  Good Bye to her. We  exchanged Email addresses. I also got special money box from the Charles Dickens museum, for my  youngest  one, the Slurpee Boy. I have to carry only one suitcase but this  can fit in  somewhere. One of my friend is my daughter's friend...

July 1st -- very busy days for me, going with my daughter to drop her  son  to work at 8.30 picking him up at 1 pm, in between going for groceries also to Freshney Mall for some last minute shopping. Time is running out. July 2nd is my departure date from Grimsby. Having lunch and dinner invitations from my daughter's rest of friends. Getting gifts too from them but in very relationship there is always give and take. Nothing works one sided. I never forget to take gifts for them like chocolates, flowers, anything as good will gesture. Big cities  have  glitter.  Small towns don't have much  distances so people have enough  time to  socialize. There is always  something plus in everything. July 2nd, it is D day today for me. Have to do my packing, saying  goodbye  to all my friends, the Black Squirrel, the White Butterfly,  Red and Pink Roses, White Daisies, Red fuchsia,  Pink Hydrangea  a...

July 22, it is very hot morning 30 C. My routine is the same. My day starts with my morning walk in my daughter's back garden.  I am happy to see the Roses and my friends the White Butterfly and  the Black Squirrel. Pink Roses looking beautiful. Black Squirrels playing around the  Palm  tree.  White Daisies and Red Fuchsia are smiling, so amazing. It is 8.30,  time  to drop kids to school and work.  Spending time with grand kids is very special for we grand parents. They will fly away. After a while it will be an Empty Nest. We have to  value the moments in hand. Present moment is everything. July 23rd, hot sunny morning 31 C. Schools are now closed but my  grandson has to go to work so I will go with my daughter, to drop him  at 8.45 after that we will go to Freshney Mall. My daughter wants me to get some tops from  Marks and Spencer. She knows, I like that store. I got two tops,  one  pri...
