Overwhelming day yesterday.

           I took this photo this morning 

Thanks Polly for arranging a great day for me, well was for us, and all that came, was a really good day. So many people, and not being able to yak with everyone, did my best, but some I just didn't get to say much to just "Hi, glad ya could make it!"

Yep, overwhelming is my thoughts when I think of yesterday, so many good memories so many good friends, what a fun time. Weather we thought at first be too warm, then worry about rain, then as it turns out, was perfect weather. 

The yard was full, the sunroom too, then inside our home, was quiet at first, then after awhile the first sprinkle, and people started to leave, and some went inside the house, and more people came, was really nice to hear the sounds of hey, I haven't seen you for years, or I remember you from! Smiles and hugs, kisses and handshakes, yep for me this was like a reunion. 

I heard, "Hey Charlie, remember me?" Lee Ann, remember. Was such a great feeling hearing, and seeing people connect and reconnect. One of the last couples to leave a friend came over and said, "Hi Terry, I heard that English accent and thought I remember him" they shook hands, been along time, they worked together. 

I learned that Bob Lloyd looked like Jack Nicholson as he and Cheryl were leaving, Fern called out that he looked like him, I then looked, and yep he had that look alright 😎

Yes was an excellent exceptional day yesterday. Polly had spent the day before making cupcakes, 3 different kinds, and placed an order for the plates ahead at Quality foods, the trays were even better than shed expected, food was out, and everyone enjoy each other, food, friends, family, laughing, so many great stories told. Yep another great time in the books, we sure had fun. 

Thanks everyone that came, was great 👍🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

What more can we hope for in life but time to enjoy friends and family. 

I didn't take photos, but Claudette, she's got a bunch, with 70 in most of them LoL 🤣 🤣 

Thanks again to everyone, Polly especially ❤️

Sure do love our life ❤️ 

The still of Sunday morning walk.

I didn't go far, around the block, enjoying the calm and quiet of this morning. The deer 🦌 we saw the other night was here, now I know why the apples off the neighbors tree are getting cleaned up. He wasn't afraid, I walked out to the road from our place and he kept eating. 

Down the road to Redford st, then past what I know as the hospitality inn, checking out the partly burned up garage, wondering how long it will stay like that? A trailer in the next mobile home park was on fire this past fall or winter, still not a thing done to it. So I wonder about the garage, if it will stay like that, all the vinal siding melted and wood all burned. 

As I walk to the end of the block, about to turn the corner I hear the sound of a buggy rolling further up the road, I turned to look, and it stopped. Quiet again. Even now as I sit in our sunroom writing this, not a sound. 

I walked the block down to the next road, Maitland I think, then as I turned I noticed a cat watching me. I put my hand down and over he came, happy to have a pet, rubbing my hand and arm, I'd seen this cat before, on a previous walkabout, very easy to pet, was a nice little break. 

Now as I walk he follows, just till the end of his property, then he stops. I continue up the road, looking at how people have taylored there yards and homes, one hedge in particular was very well manicured. As I get close to the end of the block I hear the crows, they're taking to each other, caw caw. Then I noticed as I looked up the sky was giving a beautiful show of the colours ya just can't recreate, pink with grey of what will likely turn into sunny warm day. 

           wires in the photo 

I stopped, brought out the phone/camera and tried to get the photo that best represented what I saw. Electric wire in the way, telephone poles, I ended up in the middle of the street taking what I believe is the best shot. Didn't matter, not a car around, still quite, well until the ambulance starts it's run up burde st, went along ways up before it quit. 

         The best shot I could get of 

                  the eye in the sky

Then quiet again, except for the crows, caw caw. 🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛ I took a few more photos, then walked back towards our place, deer was gone now, so we're a bunch of apples. 

In our house I go now,get another coffee ☕, and here I am writing this. 

Kinda a really nice Sunday Morning 👍🏻

I hear a car, then another, I'm the the world's waking up now, 6:14, yep people started moving about. 

Back to my coffee, and listen the the crows talk. 

Love our life ❤️ 

Great memories are nice to relish as we build another batch of great memories ❤️

I'm so happy to have people in our life that enjoy with us the moment's that remind us how fortunate we are in this life ❤️ 

A small celebration helps us plan future fun times, and gives us another great memory. Is that what it's all about? Moving from one celebration to another? One memory to another? For me it is, each with a story, each with a time in our life that is exceptional 👍🏻👏🏻🤗❤️ 

Then there is the time ya sit back and recall after, how really good the moment was. Today that's my thoughts, how fun yesterday was, along with today and how we'll be creating more great memories. 

Working and getting stuff done is really important, and memories are created there, but the time's we get together to celebrate, those are some of our best memories. The moments we laugh uncontrollably, the moment we gather to give a hug, be closer, just enjoy the moment. 

Yep, yesterday was stellar, for me. Everyone that came enjoying the food, and family stuff, making each of us fuller, not only our bellies, but our hearts too ❤️ 

Till the next great celebration 🎉 🤗❤️

I really love our life ❤️ 

Watched a really good movie today 🤗

Did ya hear the thunder? I did, but we missed the huge rain here in Port, report from our friends in Courtenay was amazing thunder and rain, monsoon.

Woke early, but great sleep, except the part where Polly had her hand on my face feeling around, was kinda weird, a dream I'm sure, as I asked "Are you awake?" No response, LoL I just told her now after we'd finished the movie, so funny. 

I'm having one of those perfect moments this morning, where everything is just great! We all, I believe, have a day or a moment like this every once in awhile, today is mine. Polly as she head's out the door to check her plants says "Is it going to rain here today?" LoL, I wonder sometimes if she thinks I know everything 🤣🤣🤣 "I don't know. But believe it's finished rain here today 😊" I say. 

The movie was "Gifted" a really good movie, I wanted to watch with Polly. I like to wait till we are together to watch what I believe will be a good movie, this one had us both in tears a few times. Great way to start a really good day. Coffee ☕ ☕ x2 and breakfast was eggs 🍳🍳x2 🥓 bacon x2 potatoes a bit of leftover pork, and toast x2. Then after a couple more toast with Americos Mmm 😋 good blackberry jam! 

Perfect? I think so, scraped every bit outta the jar good. I thanked him again ❤️
