Thought Of The Day

  30th December 2022 Happy New Year 2023  to All My Dear Readers New year is just a day away. " Ring out the old and Ring in the New ". We will make new resolutions, get ambitious, carried away, to make our plans. It will be tough for us, to fulfill our promises. Try to be realistic, while making promises. Just try to be yourself. Nothing is end of the world. Do what you like, what you can do. Don't cross your limits.  Reality is that, we all be one more year older. One more year is going down  the drain. Try to make use of the moments in hand. Be happy and let others be happy too. Mind your own business. Don't have to intrude into the personal matters of other people. Respect everyone's privacy and their emotions. Life will be good for everyone. My eldest daughter in Edmonton, got proposed. She is living by herself. She has two sons, one is done with his medical degree, working in States. The younger one, is in third year Uni, lives with her. Not easy to manage t

  27th December 2022 Happy New Year to All My Dear Readers May God Bless you with all the happiness, peace and good health.  Amen It is 12.30, 6 C below zero, feels like 14 C below. Bright and beautiful day. Earlier, it was a bit cloudy, not any more. Sky looks like a vast canvas with amazing water color paintings, in all shades of Blue and Grey, mixed with milky white color. Sun is awake. He just started coming out of his Grey blanket. He will change the entire scenario, will brighten our day. Thanks dear. So nice of you.  It is Tuesday, not a working day. Christmas holidays are still on, as 25th was on Sunday so we got couple of extra days to balance it out. Kids are home, enjoying their sleep, must be awake late night. It is their time, all depends, how they make their plans to enjoy their time. We have to leave them alone. Let them enjoy their life. My back problem was bad for couple of days. Sometimes, I had to take pain medicine too, which I rarely take. Ointment, Hand Massager a

  23rd December 2022 Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all my Dear Readers Today is a complete different scenario. It is morning, things look fine for now. Just raining that's all, still lots of chaos around. Weather Channel and all other News Channels warning since yesterday that big storm is about to come any time today. It will be "Storm of the Generation", all across Canada and North America. It will start with rain after that drastic drop in temperature so rain water will freeze and change things into a big ice Rink. Lots of snow around, 15 to 20 CM, will be on top. It will be supplemented by hazardous wind gusts 90 Km / h, resulting in blowing snow around. Roads not will be safe. Travel will be extremely difficult and not advised. Lots of flights are getting cancelled for couple of days. So for today. you can imagine. My daughter in law planned to leave tomorrow for Houston, to her parents. Boys, I mean, my grandkids also going with her, They changed their fligh

  20th December 2022 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my Dear Readers May God bring all the Blessings.  Happiness in Good Health.  To everyone of you.  Amen It will be another New Year in just couple of days. We will make new resolutions, hard to follow. Everyone will be carried away, to go to Gym, follow Diet plans, to follow all good habits, to improve healthy living. That is good, still please be realistic. Don't be too ambitious, too hard to work out. Such plans will die down in couple weeks after. Not easy to cope up with.  Anyway, plan in your way. Do whatever you like to chalk out, to make your days. I think plans to bring colors and joy in your life, will matter most. Of course taking your health into account. Health is priority for everyone, not only for we seniors. Peace and harmony is also one of the key factor, specially in households. One of my friend is having tough times. Everyone in her house facing very tough situation. Same sibling rivalry, is now getting

     16th December 2022 Yesterday was very busy day for me. There was Christmas Lunch arranged by our Senior Club for we members. It was very festive atmosphere. Nice decorations. Good food. There was winter storm advisory. Weather was challenging. Rain and Hails, still, we had house full at our Club event.  They ordered separate lunch boxes from Swiss Chalet for everyone. So much there in each box. Not easy to finish. We had our choices for what to eat, to order before hand. I preferred vegie pie, on top was Baked potato, delicious dinner roll and variety of sauces. Cheese and all sort of Crackers. Desert was also there, variety of cakes and Pies. I just had a bit of Veggie pie, cheese and and couple of crackers. How much can I have, at my age, not much. I enjoyed the atmosphere. Who cares about food at our age. I left early, so much to enjoy after. So many activities, Music, Lucky Draw, were all scheduled. I didn't wait for all that, messaged my son, to let him know that I am don

  Tuesday 13th Dec 2022 It is 8.30 morning, cold 15 C below Zero. We had our first snow fall couple of days back, it is still all around. Skeleton trees look great with white decorations and others with beautiful snow white cottony flowers. Red wooden bench is all covered with white stuff. Sun is in full bloom, shining up and above, smiling and enjoying the entire scenic view. Such a peaceful atmosphere.  Under sunlight,  Snow is shining, giving a glitter, like Silver. What a beauty, to enjoy, to cherish these moments. I am done with my breakfast. Not working today, have to find my own things to get busy. I will check my table calendar. I think, have to wash my hair and do my laundry, also have to change my bed sheets. So much to do. Today is garbage pick up day, in our neighborhood. All Blue, Grey and Green bins, are lined up on driveways, ready to be picked up. I admire and salute all first line workers, who are always there, ready to streamline our day to day workings, to make thing

  It is 7.45, calm quiet, cloudy morning. I am in kitchen, making my breakfast. My youngest grandson, the Slurpee Boy is also awake. I have to make Peanut butter Jam sandwiches for him, also his favorite chocolate milk. I will make that first. I have go to work. My Darts start at 10. I have time. Kids always have to be priority. We can wait.  It is good to make them happy, gives them peace, that helps to build up their character. It will help to change them into a calm and cool personality and lots of patience. That will be a key for them to lead a happy life. They having patience, will be able to spread happiness around, to make a better society.  We get inner peace too, while making our young ones happy. It is always good to put smile on faces around. What goes around, comes back to you. Try to make day of the other person. Have patience. Try to forget and forgive, wrong doings of others. Respect everyone's emotions and personal life. Don't have to interfere in other people&#

  6th December 2022 It is 3 C, cloudy  morning. Nowadays sun usually doesn't come out. I think he is on break. Enjoying his vacation. My deck is giving a very different look. Must be raining early morning. It is all wet. No garden chairs there. I think my son already moved it away to garage, till the next summer season. BBQ is under cover at the left side of my deck. No flowers. Grass is still lush green, thanks to the rain. It is so often nowadays. Some plants are still green. I see that, in between Skeleton trees. Weather is changing fast.  I talked to my daughter, in Edmonton, last night. She was clearing off sidewalk, with her son, while temperature was 30 C below zero. Edmonton is very cold. Snow doesn't go away for more than six months, over there. People have to use special shoes to go out, to get mail and to do such things. I feel lucky to be here in Toronto. It is one week of December nearly done and no sign of snow.  I am off, not working. No Darts today. Getting read

  It is 8.30, Cloudy morning, it is 2 C below zero. Garden is quiet, no flowers. Grass still green. I see some yellowish patches in between. Some trees now changed into bare skeleton figures. Gold and Bronze leaves are scattered all over, displaying a beautiful scenic view. Every season is unique with it's own beauty. There is always something, to look around, to enjoy, to make your day. I am working today, have to get ready to go to play Darts. It is 9.30, I am leaving, will enjoy my time before Darts start at 10. Library is a bit quiet, not many people here. I am sitting on grey sofa, beside the fire place. This is my favorite spot. Fire is on, so cozy to enjoy your time. My daughter calling me from Kent, I messaged her, to call back, after 12. I will be home by 12.15 or so. There must be time for everything. I wont enjoy talking from here. Mostly I make calls, sitting in my room, while nothing else distracting my mind. We have to be focused, while talking to the person on the ot

  Weather is great, beautiful morning. It is mixed sunny cloudy day, 2 C. We Canadians take it like a great day, if temperature not below zero. December just one day away. It is 11.45, I am done with my breakfast and talking to three of my daughters. They were calling me from Kent, Reading and Grimsby. They use to call, while going back home, after work. Day is nearly done at their place. My youngest grandson, the Slurpee Boy is just back from his Uni. I am going to my kitchen to give him food of his choice. It is great to make your loved ones happy. Putting smile on faces around, is sort of meditation. Gives you inner peace and happiness. Enough to make your day. It is 12.15, I am ready to go to Tim Hortons, sitting alone, enjoying my coffee and my quiet time over there. It is 12.20, I am at coffee House, sitting beside small table with two chairs, at my favorite spot. Going to get my small coffee with two cream, one sugar and will have Croissant for a change.  It is a festive atmosph

  25th November 2022 Beautiful mixed sunny cloudy morning. Not so cold 2 C, feel like zero. It was raining earlier, my deck is all wet, clean and shining. I am working today, playing Darts at 10. I  coordinate with my son., I mean what will be good time for him to drive me to library. It was 9.30, scheduled earlier, now have to leave at 9.15. It is already five after nine, I have to be quick. My son has to drive my youngest grandson to Uni. It will be better to take me at the same time and drop me after. For now three generations, are sitting together in Black Lexus. Amazing. Library opens at 9.30. I think, it is a good plan. Suits everyone. My son is working, I have to keep that in mind. We have to appreciate, whatever our kids can do for we parents. Not easy for them with work and with family of their own. We have to coordinate and cooperate to make things workable. Not a big deal. I will browse magazines of my choice before playing my Darts.  Attitude is key to look at things around

  22nd November 2022 It is a mixed sunny cloudy morning, today. Sky looks like a big greyish hazy canvas. Sun is not fully awake. I think, he is taking a day off. It is 9.15, I am sitting in my room. My computer is switched on. Window blinds are drawn up. I am enjoying the view outside. Grass is still green. Red wooden bench is shining on the left side of my front garden. Most of the trees around, look like skeletons, shaking their heads. Must be thinking about the days to come. My youngest daughter is calling me from Reading. Today she has online classes. She is doing degree in education with her part time job at school. It is good idea to catch up with your studies, when your kids are a bit older. You can have some time off from your household responsibilities, which is always top priority to keep your family on track. She has gone for a walk, having some time off, to be with nature, to enjoy his time. I know she has to complete her assignment. Today is the last date for that. She ca

  Beautiful morning, sun is not in full bloom, still bright enough to enjoy your day. Sky is displaying water color paintings on a big canvas. Clear Blue and shades of Grey, all mixed up on a white background. What a beauty. Two days back, we had our first snowfall in Toronto. It was great to watch. Beautiful scenic view. Skeleton trees decorated with white linings. Other trees were loaded with with white cottony flowers. White all around, was spotless, untouched beauty. Today I can't see much of the snow. Trees are out of the white stuff. Some driveways across, are still covered with white plaster. I think, these are out of reach of full sunlight. I see some white patches on lawn of my back garden, reminding me that winter is not far. It is just around the corner. I have to get ready for the days to come.  I am working today. It is 8.45, I am done with my breakfast, now getting ready to go, to play Darts. I am all set to leave. My son is going to drive me to the library, to my wor

  15th November 2022 Cloudy morning, hazy sky. Sun is hiding under his light grey blanket. May be too early for him to come out, to start his day. It is 8.30, 3 C below zero, feels like 8 C below. It is nearly end of year. December is two weeks away. Time flies. Days are passing so quick.  Last night my sleep was not good. It happens often at our age. I go on my computer whenever I start struggling with my sleep. I keep my door closed. Not good to disturb others at night time. I switch my computer on to play Scrabble with Robot and my Card games.  When we start having  problems with our sleep. First thing to take care of, is that, we have to distract ourselves, to calm us down. The more we push ourselves to sleep, the more problem, we have to face with our sleep. Just try to relax. Forget about sleep and do anything to pass your time. Read books / Magazines. Watch your favorite show or try to spend time on your computer. Whatever you enjoy.  I was playing games on my computer and think

  Beautiful day, will be rain in the afternoon. For now it is a  bright sunny morning.  I have to go to work to play Darts after 9.30.  It is 8.15,  I have enough time to walk around on my deck, to enjoy the view of my back garden. Sitting on one of the red knitted garden chairs, I am enjoying my drink, honey in hot water. It is a changed scenery here. Grass is not lush green. I see some yellowish patches in between. Trees are not fully loaded with leaves on. I think, they soon will be changed into bare skeletons.  Lots of Gold is gone. I see Bronze scattered in my garden. I think someone stolen the Gold away and replaced it with Bronze. My friend, the Black Squirrel is walking around, looks like, looking for something, he lost. No flowers in the flowerbed at the back. Couple of bright Red seasonal flowers are smiling in flower baskets by the side, on the left. Two white Planters and the Brick Red planters, all giving a deserted look. No flowers there. It is nearly mid of November. It

  Beautiful bright sunny morning. Sun is shining up and above in full bloom. It is 8.15, 2 C right now, will be slightly better, still be in single digit all day long. Winter is just around the corner. How long can we skip that. November already started. My son and my daughter in law, are away on a two weeks holiday trip. They are enjoying in Egypt and Turkey. My grandkids are gone to work and Uni. It is an empty nest for now.  It is 9.30, I am done with my five minutes exercises, what my therapist told me to do. Pain in my right leg, is still the same. I am doing my homework everyday, anyway. Doing exercise, is always good. No harm in that. I am done with my breakfast too, walking on my deck. It is cold, I will not be staying long, just for couple of minutes to enjoy view of my back garden. Grass is looking great, green, loaded with Gold leaves. Not many flowers left. Red Canadian Rose is also gone, to come back next year. Couple of Red seasonal flowers are there, giving color to my g

   4th November 2022 It used to be my wedding anniversary day, years back. Not anymore. Things change. Time flies. We have to move on anyway. Have to go with the flow with whatever is there, available. My husband gone very early. He was in his late thirties. God can call you any time, to take an exit. It is always one of His decisions, not our choice.  Yesterday was my youngest daughter's birthday. She lives in Reading. Two of her sisters made it, to be with her. One of her sister, my middle daughter,  the Grimsby one,  was also in London. She couldn't make it. She was busy with her own family, with other things to do. Her elder daughter lives in "Home", in Croydon. She had to visit her.   In England, travel not so easy. Takes lots of time. You can not predict the estimated travel time. My daughter started her journey from Grimsby, in the afternoon, after picking up her son from school. She reached Kent, at her sister's place, at 1.30, after midnight. Road closure

  It is 8.30 mixed sunny cloudy morning. I am standing barefooted at my Deck. It is all wet. Red knitted garden chairs are shining, looking beautiful, all cleaned, washed with rain water. My garden is loaded with Gold, some Copper also here but not much Bronze leaves around.  I can't see lots of flowers. Those days are gone. Single Canadian Pink Rose is sheepishly smiling, in my flower bed, at the back. Not many flowers able to cope up with change of weather. Change is not easy to accept for anyone. It takes time to accommodate, to coordinate with the circumstances. The Pinkish purple, lilac flowers in two white planters, are also not in good shape. Red Geranium flowers in big pot, are still in full bloom, smiling, to make my day.  It is Tuesday, I am off, not working today. All my three grand kids are gone to work and Uni. My son is away with his wife, for a two weeks trip to Egypt and Turkey. They need to enjoy their time together. For now, I am sitting in an empty nest. My Slurp

  28th October 2022 Bright beautiful morning. It is 8.20, 2 C. I am in my room, ready to do five minutes exercises for my right leg pain. My therapist gave me some printouts to do that. If we go to doctor, we have to follow his instructions religiously. I believe that. My youngest grandson, the Slurpee Boy is ready to go for his Uni. His class is at 9 am. My son is going to drop him there. University of Toronto Math and Computer Science Campus, is fifteen minutes drive from my place, Pickering. He can drive by himself but car park over there is too far. Buses go there too, but in mornings, are a bit crowded. He likes to go with his dad, whenever he can.  I am ready to go with them. I will do my exercises and have breakfast after. It is always good to avail any opportunity, we can have, to get out, to change our scenery. I will enjoy the beautiful view around. Fall colors are amazing. I am outside, waiting for my son. My driveway is almost, covered with Gold. I can see some Bronze and C

  25th October 2022 It is 8.45, I am done with my breakfast, enjoying tea at my deck, walking around. Chairs are wet. I think, it must be raining, early morning. Deck is also not dry, slightly wet, all covered with moisture. Flowers are losing battle. It looks, they will give up, ultimately. They already did enough. Not their fault. There is time to go for everyone. Cycle of life is like that. Everyone passes through stages. We all have to accept that with grace. Some flowers are brave enough, still smiling sheepishly. It is end of the year. Two more months to go. Snow will be here for we Canadians, any time soon. Summer is leaving ground, taking time off, will be back next year. OK, Good bye dear. Thanks for making our days brighter. Love to see you again.  It is mixed sunny cloudy morning. Sun is awake but, he is still under his hazy blanket. Now I can see some light, may be, he is peeping  through  the blanket. He will be out soon, to start his day.  Trees around, are looking beauti

  It is Zero C, 8.30 morning. I am leaving with my son to drop my youngest grandson to his Uni. It is 10 minutes drive. He has two Quiz today, one is at 9.15. Buses go from Highway 2 and Whites Road intersection. It is 10 minutes walk, for him, not good today. He has to be relaxed before his exams. I will have my breakfast after, I be back. We have to avail any chance to get out, to change our scenery. I will enjoy Fall colors, all along.  Autumn is unique season, gives us opportunity to enjoy all sorts of beautiful colors. Trees are full of Gold, Orange, Brick Red and all shades of Yellow. Colorful leaves scattered around, add up the beauty of the atmosphere. Amazing. Who likes to miss all that. Not me. I am going with my son. Breakfast can wait. My son and my daughter in law, are booking their Air tickets. They have two weeks vacation. They will be leaving by end of the month. It will be nice for them to have  time alone, to enjoy together. I will be with my three grand kids, feeling

  Beautiful bright sunny morning. My deck is all wet, means, it was raining in early hours. Grass is lush green, looking great with rain drops glistening like pearls scattered around. Single Red Canadian Rose is smiling. White platter with pinkish purple, lilac color flowers,  is adding up color to the scenic atmosphere.  Flowers all around, started looking tired.  I don't see many in my garden. Just couple of yellow and red, are there. Not in good shape. It is 8.30 morning, 4 C , will be 9 C later on, in the afternoon. Looks, winter is just around the corner, will be here, any time soon.  I am off today, don't have to go to work. Have to chalk out plans for my day. I checked my table calendar. I am done with my laundry. Yesterday I did two loads of my clothes, bed sheets and towels. My bed sheets are all clean. I washed my hair too, yesterday. I am all set.  Today, will make calls to my friend. She lives in Markham, twenty minutes away. We did our college and Uni years togethe

  14th October 2022 Hazy sky, cloudy morning. It just started raining, not heavy, it is like a drizzle. My deck already wet, must be raining early morning too. It is 8.30, 5 C. According to Weather Channel, sun will be out of his blanket soon. Let's see. It's predictions might come true.  It is Tuesday, I have to go to work to play my Darts. For now, I am sitting in my eat in kitchen, having my breakfast, also enjoying the beautiful view in front, through big glass panels of my patio doors.  Rain drops look like pearls on the lush green grass of my back garden. Gold, Copper and Bronze leaves are scattered all around. Single Canadian Rose looks tired, still smiling to make our day. Red, White and Yellow flowers are looking great, after having morning shower. White and Brick Red planters, lined up, by the side of my deck, are full of pinkish purple, Lilac and Red flowers. Last couple of more days of summer, to enjoy for them. Weather started changing. It will be done soon for flo

  11th October 2022 Beautiful morning. It is 8.45, I am done with my breakfast. Sun is shining up and above. Just couple of more days of summer to go. It is 6 C right now, will be 16 C later on. I am back from my trip to Windsor. My son's childhood friend's son was to be married over there. Wedding was great. Me, my son and my daughter in law, were staying 10 minutes away from Hotel Marriott, the  wedding place. It was two day event. Monday was long weekend in Canada. We left on Saturday morning, were back on Monday evening. London is half way to Windsor from Pickering, while passing through London, it reminded me of the time when my eldest grandson, the Lucky Guy was doing his Ivey degree at Uni of Western Ontario. His parent were busy shunting between Pickering and London, during his four years stay. I also enjoyed trip to my Grandson's place couple of times, in those days. He is done with that, working for about two years. Time flies.  Detroit is next to Windsor. We enjo

  7th October 2022 Nice beautiful bright day.  It is 8.30 in the  morning 5 C, slightly cold, windy too. Trees around shaking their heads, may be feeling cold, shivering. Red and yellow flowers giving colors in the flower bed, at back of my garden. Our BBQ is already under cover, staying at the end of our Deck. It is done for now, till summer be back.  Pinkish purple, the Lilac flowers are smiling in white planters by the side of my Deck . Their smile is not the same. They  look a bit shy,  may be not feeling well because of weather.  My deck is wet. It was raining early morning. Rain drops are scattered like pearls, all around on the green of my garden. Pink Canadian Rose is smiling, in front, to make my day. I am walking on my deck, barefoot, to have a feel of rain water. It always reminds me of my childhood time.  I think, there is a kid hiding somewhere inside, in every Human. That kid wants to push you to do things, kids like to do. Nothing wrong to behave like a kid. To be out of

  Beautiful day Sunny, Clear Blue sky. It is morning 9 C, will be warmer 20 C later on. It is 8.45, I am busy in my kitchen, making oatmeal porridge and stir fried egg for my breakfast. Some days, we start late. My sleep was fine, no complaints about that. I think at our age, we are blessed. No time pressure to go to work or school.  We are done with our responsibilities.  Our kids are no more kids. They are busy with their own family, with matters of their own. No more our problems. We can enjoy our time with whatever we like to do. Old age, I take like our Golden Era. We can pick and choose to do things. Some days, we can start late. Nothing wrong with that. Take things easy to enjoy your day. This is our time. We are in command. to plan our day.  Tuesdays, I don't have to go to work, to play Darts. I can take a break. I can enjoy getting a bit late out of  my bed.  Anyway, my oatmeal is done. I take honey with warm water before my breakfast, good for stomach, to clear it off. I

Beautiful morning, clear sky, sunny and bright. It is 8.45 in the morning, 10 C, right now, will be warmer later on. Morning dew giving a glitter, like pearls scattered on lush green grass around, in my back ground. Pink Canadian Rose is smiling in front, in the flower bed, on the back of my garden. Yellow, Red, White and Pinkish Purple, Lilac flowers, adding colors to the beautiful scenic atmosphere. It is like Cherry on top.  Deck looks slightly damp, may be it is the Dew effect or some early morning drizzle. Whatever it is, everything looks great. Amazing.  This is all, more than enough for me, to start my day.  It is Friday, National holiday, here in Canada. Schools, Malls, Grocery stores, Banks and many services are closed. Same is for Libraries. I am off too, not have to go to my work. I will plan my day, to streamline my "Things To Do". Have to wash my hair. I don't wash every day. Not many left, so I am cautious to handle my hair. I have to make some calls. I will

  25th September 2022 It is raining since early morning. Cloudy hazy sky. Everything looking great  after morning shower. Beautiful view  in my back garden. Rain drops keep showering at my deck.  Sitting in my TV room,  I am enjoying all that, through big glass panels in front. News Channel is on, showing Hurricane Fiona  devastation  in provinces of Quebec and Newfoundland. Houses washed away, evacuation is underway.  Damage must be huge, to be estimated after. Search is underway for people, if any missing.  Global warming is a big problem, causing such havoc around the world. Many parts are in a mess, facing adverse situations. It is hard everywhere to deal with. We have to think about, how to cut down pollution. May be it is never too late to be mended. Let's see. I am all set after coming back from my trip. It is not even a week. I am back to work, playing Darts and Carpet Bowling. My right leg still giving me problem. It is my age. Nothing to complain.  I am handling that.  We

  21st September 2022 I am back in Pickering, in my home sweet home. Everything is back on track. It looks that I never been away, out of my domain, my room. Beautiful morning, cool, not cold. It is 9.15, I am enjoying my morning cup of tea, sitting on one of my favorite red knitted chairs. Red, Purple, White and Yellow flowers, are looking great, in white and brick red planters, lined up, by the side of my deck.  It is 16 C, breezy, cool, nice atmosphere, to get out, to enjoy outside. My friend, the Black Squirrel is busy with his workouts on the wooden fence of my garden. Couple of birds are enjoying too, having chit chat with friends, on the left side of my garden. Amazing, great moments to enjoy, to start my day. I believe, every city, every place has it's own beauty, it's own individuality. We have different flavor, wherever, we go. In Edmonton, it was quite different, still, beautiful. I enjoyed every moment, staying in Edmonton, at my daughter's place. On roads too,

  !7th September 2022 I am enjoying in Edmonton, at my daughter's place. Bright sunny cold day. It is 9.30, 10 C in the morning, windy too. I am already done with my breakfast. It was great, so many things on table. She made pancakes loaded with all sort of fresh berries, stir fried egg, toasted bread, butter, jam, orange juice. I was feeling great, sitting with my loved ones around.  My grandson was with me too. He is in third year Uni. He must be busy with studies, assignments and with his own things, like all youngsters. It is great of him to take some time off for her old grandma. Whenever they can make it.  We have to give them credit and admire them.  Moments for me to lock up in my memory box, to enjoy after. It is 10.15, I am sitting in my daughter's back garden, enjoying the scenic view around and also my morning cup of tea. Couple of Black and white birds enjoying their morning walk, are busy, having chit chat with their friends. I found out, these are "Magpies&q

  September 13th, 2022 Beautiful sunny morning. I am in Vancouver right now. It is 7.30 morning, great weather. I am staying in a bed and breakfast Motel. Have to get ready for my breakfast, to start my day. It is busy for couple of days. Every day in a different city, every night in a different Motel. Mostly on roads.  My daughter was working, has no vacations, no days off. She suggested, I can go to enjoy, the scenic places around. My son planned this trip for me, starting from Edmonton, Alberta to "Hinton", "Jasper", "Banff", "Ice Field Parkway" and all the way to British Columbia, to Vancouver. I miss my daughter. She is not with me. I am going back to Edmonton to spend rest of the week with her. I will be leaving on 19th, end of my journey, back to Toronto, to be back on track. My son will be going back with me too.  Great trip, I am enjoying beautiful waterfalls, canyons, lakes. Every lake is special. One hour away from Vancouver, we had lu
