Weekly Wrap Up (Oct. 4 - Oct. 10)

Happy Nadian Thanksgiving!!! 🦃  We do go a little wild up here in the Great White North. No, we are not covered in snow yet, but close     So since it is in the news here, I thought I would bring this up earlier than normal. Usually I talk about the dreaded, not to me, changing of the clocks for Daylight Savings Time. Well, why it is in the news, is that British Columbia, Alberta and Manitoba have decided to do away with falling back and staying on Daylight Savings Time. Sas

Weekly Update (Sept. 27 - Oct. 3)

I want to send out a lot of love to Cia for stepping in for moi the past two weeks    You may have been fooled and thought she only did last week's Weekly Update but she did finish and post the week before too   Well it appears everyone forgot my birthday this year  Just the way I want it.  So let's talk about birthdays. What month is yours in? We don't want the day or we could be in violation of European Laws 😮 We don't want to be banned in Europe . What do you think of birthdays? I'v

Weekly Wrap Up (Sept. 20 - Sept. 26)

While the Wildone is away, you get Cia to play. Okay, so I'm totally not playing. Saturday was my day of getting stuff DONE. Chores, laundry, errands, kidult stuff, the hubby took his dad to a funeral 2 hours away and had my car, it's fall so I made homemade chicken pot pie and then there was a SPIDER on the CEILING and my son told me to get it. I almost had to kill him. It. I mean it. The spider. Then he did it like a good son who is NOT afraid of his mother. 😇 Sunday is for fun though. My daug

Sweet, sweet, sweet vacation   I may have been whining like a little baby about how much I have been working of late but I'm really happy to say as you are reading this blog, I'm going on a jet plane, I don't know when I will be back again. Who sang that  Actually I know when I'll be back again, the following Sunday  Oh well, it is a week away from the grind so to speak.  So, the 22nd is meteorological start of fall.  Now this has me baffled, where and when did we get all these, I

Weekly Wrap Up (Sept. 6 - Sept. 12)

I had something funny to tell you all, but that was yesterday  Think I can remember it now?  No. Maybe it is time to look at the shiny brochures.  So what is up in your neck of the woods? Nothing here other than the roads being busier at rush hour in the AM and afternoon with all the skewl busses and parents driving their kiddies to-and-fro, and university and college students rushing to make that first lecture of the day. Oh the good old days   Okay, call me STUPID, but I'm going to o

Weekly Wrap Up (Aug. 30 - Sept. 5)

I want to send a hello out to Rudy Judy   Now that is out of the way, I get to explain that I was away from home all week. I went up to the lake and stayed at the cabin (cottage to you Eastern North American folks). I worked my job all week up there, but it was more tolerable with looking out the window at the mountains across the lake. The lake was quiet most of the week but all the jet skies and boat surfing (is that what they call it  ) made it noisy on Friday and brought back memories t

Weekly Wrap Up (Aug. 23 - Aug. 29)

Well it finally happened, all   If you are thinking I finally ended the streak of being a 57 year old virgin, I'm not talking to you anymore   I guess the 1st of September is the start of meteorological fall. Today, I got my first sunburn of the summer 😮 Yes, I had sunblock on, and yes it was only 22 C/72 F out, but there was nary a cloud and I was sitting watching a flag football game for about a hour and a half. It doesn't hurt and it isn't too bad but when I jumped in the shower a f

Greetings my little chickadees.   Let's get everyone to shout out a chickadee call. Chick a dee dee dee   No, sadly I'm not drunk. Just a name I occasionally call people. Why, i don't know  How about yourself, what is a name you call a group of friends that you know? Mates, pals, gals, ladies, men, boys. girls. Please don't light up the Moderation Teams PM and Alert system by using that British term for a finch, as it is not allowed on GA. Why you ask. There are certain words that Goog

Well lord be jesus and thunder and lightning!!! I don't know what that means, really, but I think I've heard that expression before. If it is sacrilege, I apologize ahead of time 😮  I bring this up, as we haven't had rain in 3 weeks at least, and yes I know that isn't long compared to many of you but we have been having one hell of a thunder and lightning storm over my city. At first the rain came down like crazy, I saw cars pulled over and stopped on the streets! After about 15 mins o

Happy August everyone 🥳 Did you survive July?  I barely made it  End of July was the ramp up for me of six months of work to update my national company's entire computer system! Working all weekend myself approving data! Yay me   I know after this switchover, they call the post switch hypercare. I honestly think looking back at the past few months, I need to do some hypercare in my life. Get more exercise, eat better, and get out and have some fun  I know Pride is September long weeken

Howdy ho everyone! My apologies, went to bed last night totally forgetting to do the Wrap Up 😮 I hope Myr doesn't fire me or deduct my pay . Due to this and an early breakfast with friends, I'm going to have to make this a short one.  I do have a question though... I'm kind of stuck in my teen years or when you first got a job in your twenties, I like to stay up really late on weekends. Now I know as you get older, not me of course , insomnia becomes an issue but if you are not de

We had an interesting discussion last week with the Weekly Wrap Up. I see the weather has broke in some places and yet others is getting worse 😮  Up here in Canada, it is so hot and dry we are burning up. Over 1000 wildfires going on right now   I wouldn't go camping now unless it was on a river or lake shore.  So back to one of the parts of the camping theme, I mentioned about swimming. So if you never went camping, or you like 5 star service in a hotel or you camped on a lake or you

I'm going out on a limb here and guess that most of you are in the northern hemisphere, so I apologize to our southerners. Yet this discussion is for all of you! I haven't yet gone camping this year, but my intentions are going to be gone for a few weekends here and there.  I am a roughing ii as a camper in the sense that I pitch a tent, set up a canopy over the picnic table, have a propane stove, have no running water, electricity or sewer. Yes, the local outhouse is my plumbing  You

Well a belated Happy 250th Birthday to our American neighbours  Someone told me @Myr came over, not on the Mayflower, but another boat and tossed tea into Boston Harbour . Seems kind of far fetched though  . So question 1 for all out Weekly Wrap Up readers, if you live in the U S of A, did you do anything special on Saturday or Saturday night. Or are you still celebrating on Sunday AM when this is posted? 250 years is quite a long time, in North American terms. Also a happy belat

Technically speaking, it could be June 29th in your neck of the woods. What am I technically trying to say   You have less than 6 months to decide what to buy me as my Christmas present this year  OH, and less than 2 weeks to get your Secret Author entry in!!

I'm writing this early on Saturday as I may or may not be able to write on Saturday evening   I'm off to watch a Canadian Football game this evening. I guess there is some soccer tournament going on as well in Canada, Mexico and the US of A  As I'm writing this, the tunder and ligting has started 😮 Hope it ends before the game. I usually get a lot of silence when I talk sports. I know though a lot of the world doesn't have the US and Canada's interest in our major sports, football (Nor

I want to get into the question of the week right away   I loved the Weekly Prompts this week from Aditus! So much so that I'm going to borrow his question  Do you listen to music, and if you do, what do you prefer? Radio, streaming, playlists, one person said satellite TV/ Maybe someone out there has an 8-track or cassette player that they haven't retired. If you have an 8 track, I honestly don't believe there is a 8 track tape that has survived this long  For you younger folks, look it up

What do you think of them? I wonder, I need one for Diet Coke the true #1 Cola in the world  Are you listening, @Myr ? See, there is a story behind this. Back in the very early 70's when I was a wee little lad, I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. I don't know if at 4 I was drinking cola

Happy Memorial Day Weekend to my 'merican neighbours     I did not realize that every US flag in the US no matter on state or federal property is to fly at half mast on Memorial Day for fallen and current and retired soldiers! If you did not know, now you do   Let me know if I'm missing any other countries that might be taking off from work on Monday   I worked 25 years in retail, I did my share , I always thought it was unfair that holidays really didn't mean anything

Well, it's my last week bringing you the Wrap Up! It's been a busy day, as I was up at 4 (normal time) to volunteer at a triathalon today with the hubby. Those people be crazy! Just setting up, doing the busy work, and being out in the sun has me sunburned, wiped out, and ready for bed by 8 PM. At least it wasn't freezing cold or pouring rain on top of it all. And, here I am, scrambling to put together the news because I forgot to set this up earlier. Good thing I set an alarm! That's the other

I told everyone you'd be seeing a lot from me this week!! Well, if you're not sick and tired of me, or you missed some of the updates from this week, here's the skinny. I won't bore you with a long personal update here, though, because it's warm and sunny in the Pac NW this weekend and my computer has been on my lap for editing all day. I'm hot and tired. Seriously, where's my rain! What's your preference? Cool and cloudy with precip or sun gazing all day? Do you like to stay in and read or writ
