All in the CARDS!

"Life is like a game of cards. The hand you are dealt is determinism; the way you play is free will."
-Jawaharlai Nehru

"You play the hand you are dealt. I think the game's worthwhile."

Here are the cards we played this weekendwhen our friends visited from Regina for
 a weekend of fun and KAISER!



Brian, Lynne and Mike ...
happiness and laughter
during our fun games of KAISER!

Even though the weather wasn't hot ...
it was still in the cards to enjoy some fun girlfriend bonding
this weekend with my buddy, Lynne!

Good food is always in the cards when our friends
Lynne and Mike come for a weekend visit!

I got to thinking today how I look at this fridge daily...
and it is sometimes hard to not get lost in the shuffle ,
so many photos... so many quotes... so many thoughts!

Our little JOKER... SHUFFLE...
not wanting to get "lost in the shuffle" this past weekend!

With the cooler and rainy weather this weekend...
our lilac bush was in bloom... and Hunter Rubber boots
were in the cards!

Mariah in front of her mommy's store at closing time...
a swimming party was in the cards next for their family,
here is her adorable new colourful bathing suit.

Here is Beau waiting patiently in the car in his trunks
waiting to go for a swim...
and hoping to go down the water slide, too!


LIFE is truly like a card game... and this past weekend we even got a few card games in while our former next door neighbour friends, from Regina, Mike and Lynne came for a little fun and games! It is tradition when ever we get together with them to play a few games of favorite game...
"KAISER"... which the guys usually win at... but I think it is only because Lynne and I are too busy getting caught up on visiting and a little lost in the shuffle!!!


Lynne and I usually get in a little shop while the guys cook up a fancy meal of some sort for us. It has been tradition since our girls were little to look at hair accessories and barrettes... and find some cute ones... and well this weekend, it was once again in the cards to follow through!
 Even though our girls are grown... we can now buy
"Cute barrettes" for our grand daughters.
hehehe fun times continue!

Yesterday when our company left to go home ... we had hoped to see our grandkids for a bit... they were off to a swimming birthday party following the closing time of Swank Shoe Lounge... so Brian and I popped down to catch a quick hi and few pics of the grandkids as they waited for their mom in front of her store.

The weather has been chilly and wet the past few days, which has been good for the plants, but not great to be outside in. I did get a little wear out of my nice red HUNTER rubber boots from SWANK SHOE LOUNGE!

This week has some things in store for us... and lots of life card playing to do!

Mariah is beginning a little summer ballet course at BSOBAD today to begin training for Primary RAD ballet exam work. That is a new card in her card game of life...
but I know ...being the little "QUEEN" she is,
 she will like it once she gets there!
Later this week, she is getting tubes in her ears and her 
adenoids out... so a few things to cause her to be nervous, but I know she will shuffle through... and I am sending her a positive hand in advance for that one!


Here's to a good week in our game of life...
hoping everyone gets dealt a hand they can deal with!!!


On that note...my rhyme of the day...

In life it's all about how you read each card,
Sometimes it's easy and sometimes it's hard.
Life deals everyone a different hand...
With a different game plan, for all to expand.
So try to have fun, don't get lost in the shuffle,
Because things can often seem like a kerfluffle!
Make the most of the best, and least of the worst,
Shine like a diamond,  and put your heart first.
Life is a card game , so play it well,
What ends up happening... only time will tell.
Do things that will leave you feeling heart felt,
Reguardless of the hand of cards you are dealt!
Enjoy every Jack,every King and each Queen,
Enjoy every moment and every where you've been,
Life is a card game, but it is no race...
Just give it your all... and each thing you'll ace!
