Received a call from Georgette today saying that Gido will have a room at Extendicare with Baba for May 5th................WOW.........that was seriously like music to my ears...............12 hours later I'm getting all happy again just thinking about it!!!!
These two need to be together..........and once again they will be............they have been apart for way too long.............since Sept. 2008! They haven't been far away from each other......just apart! I can imagine that when you've been married as long as they have(68 years)............the past several months seem like forever!!! I can just imagine how happy both of them must feel tonight!
What a happy day!!!

Backing up a few days........FRIDAY!
Headed down to Black Diamond to help Dana move into her NEW house! Headed out about 8:30, had my robin sighting just before I left..........good start to the day!!!
I'm not sure why but I just love driving on highway 2.......I'm thinking it's because it's divided........no problem getting past the turtles on the highway! Crank the radio, and GO.......maybe even sing a little!!! By 12:30 I was at Dana's, and we quickly got to work. When I first arrived I thought oh my word.......we are in trouble........way too much to do in a short amount of time!!! But surprisingly, it went pretty fast..........all went well!!! Daniel and Daylan arrived in the evening, hauled the heavy stuff with Adam, and we actually did a little visiting in the evening at the new house!!! Sat. morning I did a bit more packing in the kitchen, the guys did another load........we then went out for breakfast, and by 11:00 Daylan & I were heading back to Camrose, wanted to get back in time to attend Natasha's dance performance. Daniel stayed later, helped out with some cleaning, buffed the hardwood floor, not sure what else, then he headed home around 5:30....planned to be home around 9ish!!
I can't believe it, I took my camera and never took one picture..........by the time I thought of it the new house was a shamble...........everything everywhere.........so I will have to wait for Dana to take a few pictures once everything is set up and looking GREAT!!! I will had them here once she takes them, and sends them to me.........house looks GREAT!!!!
Stay tuned!

Remember this? LOVE IT.......so much of it is SO TRUE!
Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’99....WEAR SUNSCREEN!
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be IT.
The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience…I will dispense this advice now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked….
You’re not as fat as you imagine.
Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing
bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.
Do one thing everyday that scares you
Sing
Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours.
Floss
Don’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind…the race is long, and in the end, it’s only with yourself.
Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you succeed in doing this, tell me how.
Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.
Stretch
Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your
life…the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don’t.
Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone.
Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll have children,maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary…what ever you do, don’t congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either – your choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s.
Enjoy your body, use it every way you can…don’t be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own..
Dance…even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.
Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them.
Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.
Get to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be gone for good.
Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.
Understand that friends come and go,but for the precious few you should hold on.
Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young.
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.
Travel.
Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.
Respect your elders.
Don’t expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out.
Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will look 85.
Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth.
But trust me on the sunscreen…
