Last Friday… my dear Auntie Ruth passed away… she was like the Blue Bird of Happiness… and I always thought of blues birds when thinking of her. I found this little photo and quote off the internet… which seems like a perfect sentiment for the loss of my Auntie. May she fly among the blue birds now that she's earned her angel wings.
Happy Monday everyone. I typically like to do my blog up on Mondays… and it always puts me in a happy place as I recall the happy highlights of the previous week.
Although I did my last blog less than a week ago… I decided to get back to my routine day again this week. We have shared lots of fun times over the past two weekends with some very special friends and family alike. I cherish the times we can spend with the ones we love most.
We had not seen our good friends, Mike and Lynne, from Regina since last April… so it was so much fun to reconnect. We had gone on a trip to Montreal with them at this time last year, too… so we were recalling those fun memories once again while they were here. I did not snap many photos… but we did enjoy a couple delicious meals … get in some card playing… and some shopping and lots of smiles, laughs and happiness. Time went way too fast!
I did not see as much of the grand kids this past week… but did pick them up one day last week. Beau was so proud of the art work in the hallway at his school just outside the kindergarten room. I was especially impressed with the artwork made from bottle caps… he was pretty happy to share that one, too… and told me his class made that one.
We have a couple special birthdays this week… just today… my neighbour, Heather has a birthday… hopefully later this week… my buddy, Ella and I will treat her to a lunch outing to celebrate that.
On Wednesday my sweet mother-in-law, Blanche, will celebrate her milestone 90th Birthday. So far no plans have been locked in for that celebration… but I know we will be doing something special for her, as she is a pretty special lady.
Sunday is my hubby's birthday… it also marks the 5th year anniversary of when my mom earned her angel wings. I have a mixed emotion kind of day on the 25th of October, ever since she passed away in 2010. But I will be focusing on the happiness for my hubby's sake…as it is his HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Today is the day we all go vote… and as well I am off to get some dental work done… so a busy day with duties on hand.
Later I can enjoy my favourite TV night as I tune into DWTS and THE VOICE… Those shows truly bring me happiness. I am loving both of those shows this season.
I look forward to a visit with my sister-in-law, Arleen and two cousins… Gwen and Bev on Friday morning this week for a coffee gathering here. We have not connected for a long time. It will be a fun get together filled with some more happiness, too!
My dad's oldest sister… Ruth recently celebrated her 95th Birthday and on Friday she passed away peacefully in her sleep. I will always remember what a kind and happy lady she was when ever I saw her. Although I had not seen her for a long time… she will live on in my heart. She brings to mind "The Blue Bird of Happiness" … and that is the way I will think of her always.
I had other outings this past week… lots of them were not captured in photos… but we did our fun Fuddrucker's breakfast yesterday. We visited my mother-in-law yesterday, too. I also did a nice walk in the beautiful sunshine with my good friend, Ella yesterday. I know my dog, Shuffle loved that walk, as well. To balance off all the food outings we had last week… I did also get to the gym a couple times … life is all about balance… friends, family and happiness, too!
On that note… here is my rhyme of the day…
Life is better with family and friends… When they are around the fun never ends. They can always add a smile to your face, They can also put you in a happy place. Family and friends bring us happiness… Make my feet shuffle … doing tappiness! Life is just better when we can just share… Happiness with loved ones, who truly do care!
