Beauty of Family Life

Back garden - Wikipedia













Tuesday, cloudy cold morning with 1 C. It is 10.30, I am done with my 
breakfast. Enjoying morning tea, sitting in the TV lounge for a while. 
My son is working from home. He is with his computer, busy with his 
meetings. I wont stay here long, it will be distracting for him.

 I can see my back garden. Very quiet there. No Birds, no Black Squirrel. 
Sun also staying home. It is good, everyone following the Directives.Trees 
look shaky, scared, with a somber look. I think, they all are watching the 
News channel.They are aware, what is going on around the world.

My walks are on hold so I adjusted my time table.Sleeping late and not 
getting up early. It is 10.45, I am back in my room, busy with my computer. 
Going through Facebook messages.

 My daughter from Reading, England, called me. She is sick, staying in her 
room. Not so bad, no high fever, still following the directives. It is her day 
four. She has to be away form other family members, for seven days. 

 Her in-laws, also living with her. They are not mobile. She used to look 
after them. Her daughter, just started her Uni. She was in Paris, now her 
classes now online so she is home.

 My grand daughter is trying to manage everything. Not easy with two 
bed ridden old people. Her mother has to stay in her room for couple 
of more days.

My daughter the middle one, called me from Grimsby, England. She was 
busy in her kitchen. Everyone staying home, so lot of work to handle. 
Everybody has his/her own schedule, their own timings for dinner and 
breakfast. 

 She is also doing her Bachelors in Math. Her final exams in June. Busy 
with her assignments and books.That is on top. Anyway, this is the beauty 
of family life. You have to take everyone into account. 

I see couple of birds walking around, on my front garden. It is good to see 
them after a while.They must be done with their Quarantine period. 
I think my friend, the Black Squirrel is not done yet. Staying home for 
couple of more days. 

I am going to my kitchen, to make Banana shake to give to my eldest 
grandson. My youngest one, the Slurpee Boy is also awake. I will make
Burger for him. My son done with his lunch. Make tea for him and for 
myself too, to enjoy together. This is beauty of family life. 
No doubt about.

  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
