As You Get Older ...

WOW !!!! Hard to believe it is now the year 2010. I just looked back in my posts and noticed that I hadn't been on here since July last year. I apologize for that - things kinda got away from me for a bit and time slipped by faster than I would have thought. Well, first things first ....



May your days be sunny, your nights calm and all your dreams come true.

Well, we had a relatively uneventful year. My wife got laid off from her job in August and was called back in October, so she is quite happy to be working again. The poor cat (Pookie) wasn't too sure what was going on, as he was used to seeing the two of us off and then just myself returning for the better part of the day. With Mom home, he really wasn't too sure lol. The summer of course was the craps ..... we had cooler weather and more rain than usual, which really didn't bode well for time at the trailer. One of our weather gurus down in Toronto is forecasting a normal to above normal summer this year .... will have to wait and see I guess.

Our Christmas was nice. Gail had Christmas and the next two days off, so we went down and saw our two daughters and their respective families and spent some time with the grandkids. It is amazing how fast they grow up - I still think of them as little lol. Overall, the holidays were nice .... sure missed going to a friend's place for Christmas Eve though - been kind of a tradition for quite a few years, however they went to New Zealand this year to see their relatives there so I hope they had a great time.

Well, as you can tell, there wasn't a lot of anything happening over the last 5 or so months with us, so I will leave you with a few ways to cope with life's stresses:

: Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue.

: Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.

: Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.

: Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

and finally,

: A truly happy person is the one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

Have a safe and happy year, and I promise (nooo - not a resolution) to try and write more sooner, rather than later ..........

Grandpa out ...........
