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 flight from Saturday to Sunday. Sunday is also risky. Let's see. Nothing was available for Monday. 

It is 8.30 in the morning. Two of my grandsons are working. They left for work. My youngest one, the Slurpee Boy is enjoying his holidays. He is done with his Semester. My son and my daughter in law, working from home. I have to go to work too. My Darts are from 10 to 12  Noon. I am getting ready to go. For now things are not so bad. I will back before the storm will reach at my doors. Nothing to worry for now. We have to enjoy our moments in hand, taking our health and safety into account.

My back is giving me problem for couple of days. At our age, every day is like Christmas. We find surprises, every morning, after we are out of bed. Any part of our body starts pointing that trigger can go off. We have to be ready  to manage, to make up for the damage control, to make our day. Our machinery is old, body parts need service and oiling all the time. We have keep that mind and manage accordingly.

I used my hand Massager and Heating pad. I am fine, for now, my back is all set. I am ready to go to play. It is already 8.45, have to leave at 9.35. My son has a meeting at 10, he has to be back. I have not much time, will have a quick breakfast, skip my oatmeal porridge, just stir fry egg with a slice of bread and a cup of tea.

It is 9.50, I am at library. We are eight players, two teams of four and four. Snacks, Tea / Coffee, all set to enjoy our time. Snow started. I can see through the big glass panels. It is 10.45, Josh, the Facility Supervisor, just came to let's know that, they are closing at 11 am. We have to finish our game by then. I think, we have time for one more " Cricket Game ", after that we will be done. It is 11.15, I am home. My grandsons will also be back from work, early today. I will make Garlic Pizza and bake Brownies for them. They will be happy.


Dear Friends, enjoy your time, have a great holidays. Please make sure to follow the Directives. Respect everyone's emotions. Have patience. My Friends in Ireland, please don't open Smile Cafe, on closed holidays. Thank you. Not good to break the Law. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, my Friends. Talk to you later.

  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
