We had a great life with 30 years together.<div><br /></div><div>There is no way I can top Al Bossence blog today. His words are very comforting. <a href="https://www.thebayfieldbunch.com/2024/01/there-never-was-too-much-distance.html#comment-form" target="_blank">https://www.thebayfieldbunch.com/2024/01/there-never-was-too-much-distance.html#comment-form</a>.</div><div><br /></div><div>I also just realized that it has been over a year since I did a post. Where has the time gone. </div><div><br /></div><div>I am going well, heathly and continuing on with my life. </div><div><br /></div><div>During the fall/winter, I go to my grandson #4 hockey games as much as possible. He plays for the New Hamburg Huskies, about 20 minutes away. Now that we have snow, more coming, I will not be going as much. I still, after 13 years of not driving in the snow, have not got my confidence back. I even have winter tires now but still I'm very cautious driving in snow. Before we got snow, I travelled locally to games, if you consider 1 hour drive local. In the October a friend, Janet, from here in the building and myself went to a hockey tournament in Kincardine daily, to watch my grandson play. Early November, I took my him to Niagara on the Lake for a tournament. It was great to spend quality time with him. Unfortunately, the team did not win those tournaments but did win the New Hamburg one between Christmas and New Years. Much easier games to go to. So, over the winter I will continue to go his games, when the roads are good.</div><div><br /></div><div>This past summer I was at Rock Glen several times and enjoyed visiting with people, some who I haven't seen since 2019. I have been keeping myself busy, with what not sure, but I always manage to fill my day. </div><div><br /></div><div>You just never know, when I will get in the car and go for a road trip, as I call it. It could be to Grand Bend to the flea market, St. Jacobs Market or whatever suits my fancy. Janet and I, took a road trip to Costco in Waterloo, with a stop in Wellesley for strawberries, stop in Hawkesville to go to Sunnycrest Home Baking, (bought a lot of desserts there, great prices and delicious), then to Heidelburg for lunch at The Olde Heidelburg Inn, (great food & service), finally to Costco. You just never know where I or Janet & I will end up.</div><div><br /></div><div>I have made plans with my sister and brother-in-law to go to Alaska for a cruise in August. I have also, been doing researching on cruising for the future. Maybe in 2025 I will be in the Carribean. I have found that several cruise lines have solo cabins without have the single supplement of double the cost of 2 people. NCL, Norwegian Cruise Lines, have great options, so looking at them for 2025.</div><div><br /></div><div>Even though George has passed away, he is never far my daily thoughts. I'm sure he would be pleased with me wanting to cruise. Besides RV'ing, cruising was something we both enjoyed. </div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks again, Al, for your great tribute to George and the comments on your blog. It warms my heart with the comments and brings back very pleasant memories of our travels.</div>our awesome travelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13031755671050584629noreply@blogger.com32tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36111065.post-14077863260177961482022-12-05T14:12:00.000-05:002022-12-05T14:12:28.393-05:00An Awesome Weekend<div><span style="font-family: arial;">This past weekend, I was at a Hockey Tournament in the Halton Hills area with my #4 grandson. The weather was conductive for me to go, as snow was NOT in the forecast. Driving back and forth would be about 1 hour and a half. So I made the decision to stay at Homewood Suites by Hilton Toronto-Mississauga and I invited my grandson to join me, especially since he doesn't like the travel time involved.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">The following was the schedule for the weekend:</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Friday at 12:00 game in Milton against London Junior Mustangs, we won 2-1</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span> - Lunch at East Side </span>Mario's</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"> - We checked into the hotel with a road trip. I missed the cutoff on the 401 so we took a scenic tour. Went to the next exit and turned around to get the correct one. There was a family from London who were also staying at the same hotel, who also took the same scenic tour.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"> - Game at 7:30 in Georgetown against Hespeler Shamrocks, we won 4-3</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span><span><span> - Supper</span><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span><span>Saturday at 10:30 in Georgetown against Kanata Blazers, we won 5-1</span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span><span><span> - Lunch at Angels </span></span></span></span>Restaurant</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span> - Entertainment for the boys at GlowZone 360, where the boys were able to enjoy 18 holes<span><span> </span></span>of glow in the dark mini golf, Laser Tag and $5 of a game card.</span><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span> Game at 6:45 in Acton against Glancaster Bombers, we lost 2-1.

That game started at 11:50 and we wanted to see what we were up against. At the end of their 3rd period is was tie. They then play 4 on 4 for 3 minutes, no goal, 3 on 3 for 3 minutes, no goal, finally 2 on 2 and the Leitrim Hawks won.</span><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span><span> - Lunch at Kelsey's</span><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span><span><span> - Final game at 4:40 against Leitrim Hawks</span><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span><span><span><br /></span></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span><span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzNvekv0eno5e5Vo30wziLC-z4HPJKrz8xp5J0btWGfz4DqTYjIwCRdZbUTwvJMzaDTnQshfDciLqk' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>This video is my grandson with another player patting the players backs as they get on the ice, wishing them good luck and have a good game.</span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span><span><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Championship game.

I wasn't able to use the cruise as there was construction and traffic. Totally ignored the speed limit and just followed the flow of traffic. Needless to say, I was maybe 10 kilometers over the speed limit at any given time. The Honda Civic was a pleasure to drive with great pick up when needed.<br /><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">I have been going to his home </span><span style="font-family: arial;">games on Thursday nights and quite a few of his home games. For the next couple of months, the weather will determine whether I go to a game or not. I don't like driving in a snow storm. It has been amazing to watch how the team has improved since their first game in St. Mary's in early October. They have a great coaching staff who treat them with respect and get respect back.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span><span><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span><span>Over the season so far, I have met a lot of parents and of course they know that I am, #15 on the team is my grandson.</span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span><span><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span><span>It was an awesome weekend to spend quality time with my grandson.

The garage did a temporary fix. To fix it properly, I need $1,700 worth of repair if they can find the part. Unfortunately, the part was not available in Ontario and had to come from the United States which would make the repair much more expensive. I have found that parts for the Saturn are hard to find for a 20 year old car.</span><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Over the last couple of years, I have been researching for a new car. Now with the bill to fix the A/C the decision was made.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">I have always liked the Honda Civic Sedan. So off to Woodstock I went to see what they had or I could get. Stratford Honda didn't seem very interested in helping me get a new car. Woodstock Honda had 4 on order to arrive at their location early August. On May 21st, I signed the paperwork for a Honda Civic Sedan EX. The price and interest rate were guaranteed. I then just needed to wait. Some people who know me, know that I'm not always very patient.<br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">I went to Rock Glen for the Canadian July long weekend and on the drive my A/C totally quit. With having wind up windows, I needed to make a stop to open a couple of windows to try and stay cool. Not very successful. I was out of the park by 9 am to get back home before the it got really hot.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Finally on Friday, August 19th, I was able to pick up the Honda. What a joy it was to have A/C. I will have a huge learning curve as there are so many features that I didn't have in the Saturn.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCdXxK5bB26lPfqTT_QGI6Hijq1cG-fcy3G3ZkAGGohcNMe_7t3pnnYaicuahySJimphHHMrkd759Oduo3wcJnTp7-H5yFRk_B4n1x3EZK6Z82SmPmU7cE0o68xRMaUGMvDSd45x2skJ_ZyTWyVGoulaI1Bg5Lk7hFuysqwU_Pm90IKnz7A-U/s377/2022-08-19%20IMG_0496.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="292" data-original-width="377" height="248" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCdXxK5bB26lPfqTT_QGI6Hijq1cG-fcy3G3ZkAGGohcNMe_7t3pnnYaicuahySJimphHHMrkd759Oduo3wcJnTp7-H5yFRk_B4n1x3EZK6Z82SmPmU7cE0o68xRMaUGMvDSd45x2skJ_ZyTWyVGoulaI1Bg5Lk7hFuysqwU_Pm90IKnz7A-U/s320/2022-08-19%20IMG_0496.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><div><br /></div><div>After getting the Honda, I went home and packed up the car to go to Rock Glen for the weekend.

Sidney stayed on the first farm for many years. Peter, Mary and their children worked the second farm. Peter died in 1918, so Arthur my grandfather worked the farm with his mother. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Arthur married Malinda in 1933 and they had 2 girls. Arthur purchased the farm from his mother in 1935. My mom, Beatrice was one of the girls and married my father Levi Kuepfer in 1956. They lived at various locations while growing a family of 3, 2 girls and 1 boy. In 1962, Arthur had several heart attacks and could no longer work the farm. My Mom & Dad then moved to what we call the home farm. We all lived in the same house. Grandma, grandpa, Mom, Dad and the 3 children. It was great to be able see our grand parents every day. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">In 1968, Grandma & grandpa moved off the farm into a new house in New Hamburg. Unfortunately, grandpa was not able to enjoy living in town for long, as he passed away a month after moving in.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Needless to say, my mother and father took possession of the farm. It has continued on in the family to my brother and now to his son, Greg. It has been in the family for over 100 years. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">The main reason for our get together, is that Greg and his wife have built a new dairy barn and the family wanted to see how the operation all worked. The get together was with the Kuepfer family and my Aunt's family, (mom's sister). There have been many family get celebrations over the years on the farm, including my 50th Birthday party and George & I retirement party in 2006.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivNF6Yz3x8S-4m0Gccapmn4_d_cVewb27cdR6hPQKMoyZDwuqCQmiFRLuYQ1ORTgL4hyT0bVIp2CcYabhYL62t-buhBIlK1yCvoDnisegapsjzpy9r3ELIHR6RX1867bn3MBzp6njSnKYuoLRQGp-jtZmz4pxJ5Z7CGrJWuGtvzwzCzBFkgQ/s2018/1962%20sa%20Roth,%20Arthur%20Home%20Farm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1560" data-original-width="2018" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivNF6Yz3x8S-4m0Gccapmn4_d_cVewb27cdR6hPQKMoyZDwuqCQmiFRLuYQ1ORTgL4hyT0bVIp2CcYabhYL62t-buhBIlK1yCvoDnisegapsjzpy9r3ELIHR6RX1867bn3MBzp6njSnKYuoLRQGp-jtZmz4pxJ5Z7CGrJWuGtvzwzCzBFkgQ/s320/1962%20sa%20Roth,%20Arthur%20Home%20Farm.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">This is a picture of the farm in 1962.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE2UluZ8g9UrSFaf9j1wW7ZBCyKm3tfXznuzb7KhG3r38-81KvRJ09_0Af9d3-N1SiKJBvLbW9_G2GBdh9rYuv9XZrxwfqGST-KNiNS4piA5uZw3oJgIJEh1iJTt7Igj99yTZtmVowBzUhMG5CqjEdMP-GAYz3SDpyLF5sKogGb42abvQ8bQ/s872/1991%20Home%20Farm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="587" data-original-width="872" height="215" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE2UluZ8g9UrSFaf9j1wW7ZBCyKm3tfXznuzb7KhG3r38-81KvRJ09_0Af9d3-N1SiKJBvLbW9_G2GBdh9rYuv9XZrxwfqGST-KNiNS4piA5uZw3oJgIJEh1iJTt7Igj99yTZtmVowBzUhMG5CqjEdMP-GAYz3SDpyLF5sKogGb42abvQ8bQ/s320/1991%20Home%20Farm.jpg" width="320" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Front of the house in 1991, when Mom & Dad moved into New Hamburg.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_6-6Y7G3jhD3F5GDmHms6pyAczWT9zyxzEohX6COMJ2M5_ZBswkk6p7V-jk4JONUXxfIvNjd8PrUs_U4KocF8wSBjEivoQVEKZt5cUwwaE3QLwZazL-9t7oQGSVEW2mObW0WC0JwiXWh-pmc2fMW_T90ebLtXfv19GwMouc-Q0ZURfeAbqg/s586/IMG_0485.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="586" data-original-width="425" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_6-6Y7G3jhD3F5GDmHms6pyAczWT9zyxzEohX6COMJ2M5_ZBswkk6p7V-jk4JONUXxfIvNjd8PrUs_U4KocF8wSBjEivoQVEKZt5cUwwaE3QLwZazL-9t7oQGSVEW2mObW0WC0JwiXWh-pmc2fMW_T90ebLtXfv19GwMouc-Q0ZURfeAbqg/s320/IMG_0485.jpg" width="232" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwVHch0vSU50tJTq6jS8Ij2DNj1jCRWqST0_MA39u-T14lv21opqjaRwDLIFmR20V3YiAKdz3m_1zrBiMGQgxKICOHtrQr85XXagnHGUD34XsLaslkgxURRequLbcWlBKT1LM7rPLk6kKjzhUV16M5OlLQwFaWXlFdsA4wQud1ySHD7ybRPg/s635/IMG_0486.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="635" data-original-width="463" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwVHch0vSU50tJTq6jS8Ij2DNj1jCRWqST0_MA39u-T14lv21opqjaRwDLIFmR20V3YiAKdz3m_1zrBiMGQgxKICOHtrQr85XXagnHGUD34XsLaslkgxURRequLbcWlBKT1LM7rPLk6kKjzhUV16M5OlLQwFaWXlFdsA4wQud1ySHD7ybRPg/s320/IMG_0486.jpg" width="233" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">In 1982 Dad & my brother added a dairy barn to milk 50 cows.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">From the above picture, Greg had the original barn board barn taken down and started the extension in 2020.

The 8" pan goes on top of the crisper tray. The majority of air frying is done this way. It saves me from washing the basket after each use. Instead of the 8" pan, any container that is oven and microwave safe can be used. For me it works perfect and not having to use the oven, which takes longer to cook.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I have learned that whatever the directions say in the book that came with the Air Fryer, you need to cut the time in half (at least) and check for doneness. I did fish and chips the first time and they were way overcooked. I have done recipes from the blog and adjusted the cook time accordingly and made notes on the recipes I have printed out. Mostly everything has turned out great and taste similar to BBQing on the Weber.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I have had success with bacon wrapped scallops and french fries, pork tenderloin, chicken breast, chicken wings, reheating pizza and salmon. Need to work on the pork ribs to get them the way George always had them so they fall of the bone. A beef roast, I still do in the slow cooker. I found a recipe for Apple Crisp that I have not perfected yet. The next attempt will be to cover the dish with Tin Foil and see how that works. You can bake in the Air Fryer, but I find the oven easier for baking items like the Pecan Tarts.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Time to re-organize. I have been looking for containers to put sugar, flour etc. in. A friend had the 6 top containers that she didn't need anymore. They work great. I have replaced the bags with the containers. Very easy to see what is in them.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtsJ-4tVf2K_1V2vDz1EPWV6u5SxvcJ3fMwjBWv7j3O5tuYo7IzBXXbWE0CyIlJQFecFND8PYurDBSk4uNStmzfaKO2pPle-9IHk6gSQldSjVOQIa7lseg5KMnlHhyXZG9UQvm/s464/IMG_0283.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="331" data-original-width="464" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtsJ-4tVf2K_1V2vDz1EPWV6u5SxvcJ3fMwjBWv7j3O5tuYo7IzBXXbWE0CyIlJQFecFND8PYurDBSk4uNStmzfaKO2pPle-9IHk6gSQldSjVOQIa7lseg5KMnlHhyXZG9UQvm/s320/IMG_0283.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">On the second shelf, if found containers at Zehr's to put items that I could smaller amounts in, like baking soda, icing sugar, oats and coffee.

He lived his life to the fullest. </div><div><br /></div><div>A different year for me without him. Making the decision to sell our home was easy and tough. I know he knew that I would sell it as we had talked about this several times over the years. I just didn't feel that I could hook up the car to the RV and especially not being comfortable driving it. Over the years I have admired several single women who travelled by themselves and the challenges they had. As we went through major cities with construction, I would almost cringe since the lanes seemed so narrow. He made it look so easy. We both loved our 13 years of full timing.

I don't rush to get the snow cleared as I do not want to overdo myself. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I didn't rush to decorate.

Now I can celebrate the Christmas season for a month.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Whenever we decorated, we always had Christmas songs playing.

I forgot that my birth date is also on the tombstone. I guess I'm a little slow or pre-occupied.<div><br /></div><div>Thanks for everyone wishing me a Happy Birthday and the lovely comments about the tombstone. I agree that it is very fitting and summarizes our years of full timing and our dream.</div><div><br /></div><div>As time has gone by, my cooking skills are coming back. I have not had a bad meal yet. I have used the deep fryer several times with great success. So far, I have used the slow cooker, oven, George Foreman grill and deep fryer to accomplish good meals. I even baked the mini pecan tarts that George has on the recipe section. I didn't make the pastry though. I bought the premade shells. They turned out wonderful. Quite a while ago, I purchased Anova Sous Vide. My sister and husband have one and they really enjoy it. They suggested it might be something I can use to add to my cooking skills. They have perfected on how to use it but I'm still a little challenged with it. I really like the idea of when purchasing meat to put single servings in a freezer bag with spices etc and then cook it in the Sous Vide. This is something that needs a little work for me, but I will get there.</div><div><br /></div><div>The day after my birthday, I began to think that Thanksgiving this year would not be the same as previous years. I didn't want to miss out on a Thanksgiving meal. Over the years, George and I have purchased turkey products from <a href="https://www.haytersfarm.com/our-products/" target="_blank">Hayters Farm</a> in Dashwood, Ontario. They have a great selection of turkey products. A road trip was called for. A friend from the apartment and myself took a trip about 1 hour away. I purchased Turkey Schnitzel, Honey Garlic sausage and a 3 pound dark meat roast. The roast will be perfect for me and have leftovers as well.</div><div><br /></div><div>On Saturday I started my Thanksgiving dinner preparations. I have always liked turnip or rutabaga, so I was able to cut it up (which can be challenging) and cooked the turnip in advance. Sunday I started the roast in the slow cooker with carrots and prepared a turnip casserole. I invited my brother and sister-in-law over for dinner. We had all the fixing for a Thanksgiving dinner. Turkey, carrots, turnip, potatoes, gravy and a salad. For dessert, I had purchased Apple Crisp from M & M Food Market that was 2 single servings and added ice cream. The 2 singles were more that sufficient for us. Dinner was a success. It wasn't until after they left, that I realized I forgot the cranberries. Oh well, left over cranberries I can always freeze. George had made the Cranberry sauce with orange zest last year. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyOW49uE3hx1mZiBYMxwTKgEJ20wmfDpoBFU1xNVlo_7sYGew6wGj5bamKP-r90e3f3ZnwwhHw7xMF6iU7uZTr8DmaegbCcjzVgQh9uZcW1uao2fapU7VwIWQ9Rsv_lJxTahFf/s516/IMG_0129.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="516" data-original-width="470" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyOW49uE3hx1mZiBYMxwTKgEJ20wmfDpoBFU1xNVlo_7sYGew6wGj5bamKP-r90e3f3ZnwwhHw7xMF6iU7uZTr8DmaegbCcjzVgQh9uZcW1uao2fapU7VwIWQ9Rsv_lJxTahFf/s320/IMG_0129.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">Last night about 5 pm, the Yates got together using FaceTime. The Yates's always get together on Thanksgiving Monday. This year, of course was very different but it was really great to see everyone and get caught up on what the families are doing.</span></div><div><br /></div><div>Most nights a group of us from the building get together and socialize. We have got to calling it "The meeting of the minds". Always great conversation and laughs. I have been out several times with friends to the Legion here in Stratford. They have a meat draw and 50/50. Another great way to enjoy life. So far, I have not been lucky enough to win anything. It is great to socialize with friends and family always following suggestion for social distancing.</div><div><br /></div><div><div>I am especially thankful this year to family and friends for the help and support they have provided this past year. The coronavirus has made it very different but I am sure that George would have had a positive attitude through it all. </div><div><br /></div></div><div>Life can be difficult, but always remember to live your life to the fullest as you never know what will be around the corner.</div>our awesome travelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13031755671050584629noreply@blogger.com21tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36111065.post-33229465696439382172020-09-18T09:49:00.000-04:002020-09-18T09:49:02.922-04:00Successful Dinner and Memorial Stone<div>Two weeks ago, I invited my Dad, sister and brother-in-law for dinner. They were the first guests I had over for a meal. I prepared a beef roast in the slow cooker with carrots, baked potatoes and Caesar salad. For dessert I baked a Peach Crisp. The meal was a success. I had enough leftovers for another dinner for myself. I didn’t have a container for dessert so I borrowed a 9 x 9 Pampered Chef from a neighbour. About half of the dessert was eaten, therefore, I shared some leftovers as a thank you for the borrowing of the dish and keeping several servings for myself.</div><div><br /></div><div>George’s memorial stone is in place. It was decided that the 2 families would get together to share more memories. So, this past Sunday we got together at the cemetery.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL1vDc8ZZwVN1t1meSgAmqspOy3YuUTqXFGF6V-SbTuqvDSiXeKd0RKBVTrDhr2I2i6Lk0fkE60QzsdNHnNSbzC41MUo-OP4sL7qU_o_XIUtD_sJIpWgvtX4GhIx_NqP5K3S-9/s368/2020-09-13+IMG_0114.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="282" data-original-width="368" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL1vDc8ZZwVN1t1meSgAmqspOy3YuUTqXFGF6V-SbTuqvDSiXeKd0RKBVTrDhr2I2i6Lk0fkE60QzsdNHnNSbzC41MUo-OP4sL7qU_o_XIUtD_sJIpWgvtX4GhIx_NqP5K3S-9/w400-h306/2020-09-13+IMG_0114.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic-97X7epUr2b7S88KQYb6jtzC5G_8HBt9DzhQ9ef83IqgEBLKiMMV5hdwJvsIuBQ-Fv_7pPZQ9qtCuN2zToN0W5VxnVtN5QfMSgusRdQSbKgllTeaykS0LJtHTjRgYDzfnWnd/s203/2020-09-13+IMG_0115.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic-97X7epUr2b7S88KQYb6jtzC5G_8HBt9DzhQ9ef83IqgEBLKiMMV5hdwJvsIuBQ-Fv_7pPZQ9qtCuN2zToN0W5VxnVtN5QfMSgusRdQSbKgllTeaykS0LJtHTjRgYDzfnWnd/s203/2020-09-13+IMG_0115.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAHUFDxTd6lQolpDTRi6PMsCB-3WNWKUnF2vSyKMmV5rgF1-KcX8n3iFOl0pr5G-oFc6MD3HY6hC34sdPHuGJoUpB1k0a74SVuk6sN1KCCWGg07oYy98YqkiTRX_uv_TeHXhq6rw/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="203" data-original-width="183" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAHUFDxTd6lQolpDTRi6PMsCB-3WNWKUnF2vSyKMmV5rgF1-KcX8n3iFOl0pr5G-oFc6MD3HY6hC34sdPHuGJoUpB1k0a74SVuk6sN1KCCWGg07oYy98YqkiTRX_uv_TeHXhq6rw/w360-h400/2020-09-13%25252BIMG_0115.jpg" width="360" /></a></div></div><div>Grand daughter #2 at the funeral said to me that Grandad needed a stone.

With it now in place, we were able to see it.</div><div><br /></div>The plan was to go to the Trail’s Edge in Plattsville for a meal. Unfortunately that didn’t work out as Plattsville didn’t have power. An alternate restaurant Scran & Dram Scottish House in New Hamburg was selected. We had a very enjoyable meal. Lots of laughs and creating more memories. Everyone enjoyed watching the 2 youngest granddaughters.

I let another couple know and they arrived Monday as well. </div><div><br /></div><div>We all got together on Monday for a social time. It was great to see everyone. We all got caught up as we haven’t seen everyone for almost a year.</div><div><br /></div><div>As soon as I informed the couple in the park of the impending visit, I was invited for supper. I got, (as George would say) a doggie fix with Tucker. It was a great supper. One less meal for me to cook. </div><div><br /></div><div>Tuesday morning I had no heat in the cabin. I was quite cosy in bed but not so much out of bed. The fireplace had been turned off. Maintenance came and fixed that by turning the pilot light on in the fireplace. Now I won’t be cold in the morning. </div><div><br /></div><div>Also on Tuesday, Rob came over to continue a tradition of having fresh perked coffee. He doesn’t like reheated coffee. George and I would make a pot and it would last for a couple of days. Being as I brought the perk with me I thought he would enjoy fresh perked coffee.</div><div><br /></div><div>On Wednesday a group of us went to Skeeter Barlow's and enjoyed a wonderful meal.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjkmloDkXDgo_tB4Lcp_KHmN23CGzjD0_ZjT5Ij9yxnAmbuaSinpAFN9cSHPy8P8fL6KMbLMObeydFsZpOlWk-zHMUUt_kTsg4BUI6LOdChJnIwsV7ugXxmDxxnmctAIYisUPe/s526/IMG_3636.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="335" data-original-width="526" height="255" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjkmloDkXDgo_tB4Lcp_KHmN23CGzjD0_ZjT5Ij9yxnAmbuaSinpAFN9cSHPy8P8fL6KMbLMObeydFsZpOlWk-zHMUUt_kTsg4BUI6LOdChJnIwsV7ugXxmDxxnmctAIYisUPe/w400-h255/IMG_3636.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div><div>I had an Awesome visit at Rock Glen.

The new owner picked it up on Thursday. I didn't get the price that I wanted but I think it was a reasonable price. For me, it selling the RV was stressful. I wanted to be close by when I had someone interested in it. Now I can figure out what I am going to do next.</div><div><br /></div><div>A couple of new pieces of furniture.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwzzD1oZNxB270hh6LlqDrIDLlCkbGblkHwyPmXCzWmFz-qVIG83Tg_IpZzXva77iaVg2Nr4iP3kBoCfsEouDhakzrZymFn-g468m-qHRKEXBNbycmNoqXGUoCanacsuPuEoxt/s379/TV+Stand.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="363" data-original-width="379" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwzzD1oZNxB270hh6LlqDrIDLlCkbGblkHwyPmXCzWmFz-qVIG83Tg_IpZzXva77iaVg2Nr4iP3kBoCfsEouDhakzrZymFn-g468m-qHRKEXBNbycmNoqXGUoCanacsuPuEoxt/s0/TV+Stand.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div>A friend here in the apartment building had the above TV stand available. It took a while for me to get it because of Covid-19. This unit gives me more storage, haha, and is also a little higher than the previous stand. There was nothing wrong with the previous one, I just like wood furniture better. The left hand corner of the top is a great place to keep, of course what else, doggie treats. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdHfFaUrcyNoQ42oBybMZRV_dfDF74uzrk-_y5tWhBjzqXMzdlVGinig3vZ10TwA-zJQo1SkQgM2MRiqXbdNxONQolj3O9bnodYLyzeZ-oXsFeeQPaijlS-1Ohl4lYxz8t8Lva/s640/IMG_0111.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdHfFaUrcyNoQ42oBybMZRV_dfDF74uzrk-_y5tWhBjzqXMzdlVGinig3vZ10TwA-zJQo1SkQgM2MRiqXbdNxONQolj3O9bnodYLyzeZ-oXsFeeQPaijlS-1Ohl4lYxz8t8Lva/s0/IMG_0111.jpg" /></a></div><div>During my cleaning of the RV, my brother found the above corner cupboard in one of their storage units. When I saw it, I thought it was perfect for this corner. He did some sanding, staining and refinishing. He did a great job. My brother and sister-in-law delivered it on Friday when I invited them out to supper. Being as I was buying supper, we went to Demetre's here in Stratford. I was hungry for liver. On the top shelf is a key holder that George and I had at the house and also in the RV. The picture was taken "BS" (before Sue).</div><div><br /></div><div>On Saturday night a bunch of us from the apartment building went to the Legion for 4 pm. They have a meat draw, 50/50 and a basket of breakfast items. When I got there, Jim said that new people coming always win something. Boy he was so wrong. I came away empty handed. Another friend from the building drove and as we were leaving, I asked her if she wanted to go out for supper. Neither one of us wanted to cook for ourselves, so Montana's was the restaurant of choice.</div><div><br /></div><div>Yesterday afternoon, I went to daughter #2's house. I packed up some stuff that they could use in the car. Hey, more stuff that I don't need, gone. They invited me out for supper. A great supper of Fettuccine Alfredo, shrimp, chicken and Caesar salad. What a wonderful time spent with the family. The hours just went by so fast and of course sharing great memories of George. The following is a picture she had to have, creating new memories without her father.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0JaTPlEQEztPQ0gfvTVXa5QxiuC5UMK-Irm2hywJj7_DNUrGO9mIEYA2xGI5yP4FVoYg5ZhsKaq4kaU757oV3gZNiFeStlUjBihvitmOSe1lig3IknQUb2JEfKZ9_r4HFYk17/s492/IMG_3975+%25283%2529.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="492" data-original-width="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0JaTPlEQEztPQ0gfvTVXa5QxiuC5UMK-Irm2hywJj7_DNUrGO9mIEYA2xGI5yP4FVoYg5ZhsKaq4kaU757oV3gZNiFeStlUjBihvitmOSe1lig3IknQUb2JEfKZ9_r4HFYk17/s0/IMG_3975+%25283%2529.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><div>Tonight, so far, I am staying home for supper as I have left over liver.</div><div><br /></div><div>Last night I had trouble getting to sleep, which is unusual for me.

Today is George's birthday.<br />
<br />
It seems unusual to celebrate it on a Wednesday and not this past weekend. He has said for years, that Canada celebrates his birthday every year.<br />
<br />
Depending on where we are, we would go to Anna Mae's in Millbank, Trail's Edge in Plattsville or Skeeter-Barlow's in Forest. I think these are our favourite places to eat. This year we wouldn't be able to go to the restaurant, but we could still get take out. I will celebrate his birthday with family when we can.<br />
<br />

I seem to be getting back into my routine. I compute in the morning then read. Added to this, I now also listen to our Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau about 11 am and Premier Doug Ford about 1 pm.</div>

I do like hearing what they have to say and find them very informative. They both want to keep Canadians safe. The other day, I saw the following posting on Facebook:</div>

Our current situation is not what I'm sure anyone of us wanted but the above says it all. Thanks Monique. Also thanks to all who post positive on Facebook. Our mental health right now does not need negativity.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Usually about 4 in the afternoon, a gentleman in the next building plays 4-5 songs on his trombone in 3 locations around the 3 buildings as a thank you to all the first responders. I believe he also starts at noon and plays by the hospital and senior resident's in Stratford. What a great thing for him to do.</div>

You all know that I like petting dogs and George would say that I was getting my doggie fix. Well, that has not changed. As the building is filling up, more dogs also arrive, so I continue to meet dogs. Below is a picture of Scooter and Tucker.</div>

A lady in the first building has been making these and for a donation, we can get one. At last count, there are 7 on my side of the building. She is kept busy doing this. These on all 3 of the buildings.<br />

Today, I was looking forward to the Canadian Snowbirds flying over Stratford but unfortunately, due to the weather, they had to turn back to Trenton. Maybe it will happen tomorrow.<br />

I had thought I was to going to ask for help to hang the following pictures. With everything that is going on now with the Covid-19, I decided to do them myself. Measuring the wall, pictures and the space between, so they look kind of balanced. The first set of pictures was a challenge but I got it done. Mistakes are not visible. Patting myself on the back. Ha ha.<br />

The picture on the cedar chest is from our honeymoon. The old clock I got from my grandmother before she passed away. As a young girl, we lived with our maternal grandparents. They had several clocks that you would wind up. The key to the clock is still there. I haven't got it going yet as it needs to be perfectly level in order for it to chime. The clock sat on an entertainment in the house, but we couldn't get it to work until we were purging the house.<br />

I had the tools to put the pictures up. George made sure that we had hammer, screw drivers etc. There is a case here that includes everything, including a level. So when the pictures went up, I made sure to use the level. If the pictures above look crooked, it is because I took them crooked.<br />
<br />
To stay safe during this time, I go out to the grocery store when needed. I am following the suggestions from our government to help slow the curve of the virus. In some ways, it isn't hard for me to do, as George was the one to do the shopping and I was reading.<br />
<br />
I have finally read 2 books since October, which is unusual for me as I could read a book a day. I'm starting to get into a new routine. It will take time as my mind wanders. I start a project, go to another and eventually finish each project. I have a project to put up more pictures that are of my family as it has grown. At the moment it is not completed as I need more pictures printed and then frames as well. This I consider a non-essential project, so it will wait for better days ahead.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, at the moment another non-essential project is the RV. I was really hoping that by now it would be closer to being ready to sell. I haven't been out to it in the last couple of weeks. It still needs a couple of compartments looked at, compartments cleaned as well as the living space. It will have to wait for now.<br />
<br />
Yesterday, I wanted to do shake and bake chicken in the oven. Now, I know that we had shake and bake chicken packages, but do you think I could find them. Not sure if we ran out (which I find hard to believe as George always replaced something when we were low) or if the package was expired and therefore, it found the garbage. I then improvised the Honey Pecan Chicken recipe (thanks Deb) on the blog minus the pecans which I didn't have. I must say, it turned out pretty good. I used a chicken leg which took a lot longer than the chicken breast in the recipe.<br />
<br />
Know that I am safe, eating well and getting my rest. I hope all you readers out there are doing your best to stay safe and healthy as well.<br />

On his first shift on the ice, he got a breakaway on scored his first goal. He repeated a goal on his second shift. He ended up having 3 goals. His mom said in a Facebook message that she thought he was showing off to me. That could be, as it is the first game I have seen him play since October. But he is an awesome player. George was always taking pictures of his games. We were only able to see them in October and sometimes in April when we got back. We always made a point to see the games. This game was the first game that was during the day. All the other games were at night and I'm not fond of travelling at night.<br />
<br />
This past Monday I went out to the RV. It was such a nice sunny day that I didn't want to miss out on being outside. I just couldn't stay in Stratford and not go outside. I started going through compartments. First to see what would stay and what would go. I was able to take some stuff out and store it in my brothers quonset hut to be dealt with later. Whatever is in the electric and wet bay are staying with the RV. I was able to through all the compartments on the driver's side. The only thing they need now is to be cleaned. On the passenger side I cleaned out one compartment. The balance will wait until good weather happens. One of the compartments has a tool box that there is no way I would even attempt to lift as I know it is heavy.<br />
<br />
While at the RV, I also was inside and removed items that we didn't need when we moved into the apartment. So, the inside is almost empty and some of what remains, will also remain with the coach.<br />
<br />
The last couple of days, I have been getting organized to do our taxes. They are basically ready to file except there is at least 1 piece of paper that I made need for Income Tax 2019. I get mail here at the apartment as well as the previous address. I'm not in a hurry to file the taxes as I want to make sure I have everything I need. In previous years, I didn't file our Income Taxes until mid April anyway.<br />
<br />
I have been waiting for the following to be completed. I found the original picture that appears on the blog and had it printed. I then went to Michael's to have them frame it in a frame I got inexpensively. It took 2 weeks for to get a mat and be then framed.<br />

Now it just needs to go up on the wall.<br />
<br />
A comment was made on the blog about me buying something smaller that I could handle. Unfortunately, at this point my RV'ing days are over. I'm not sure I would be comfortable travelling by myself, keeping 2 vehicles and setting up a smaller RV even though George taught how to do everything with the RV. I believe he knew that I wouldn't be RV'ing anymore. But that doesn't mean that I won't travel. That day will come. For now, I know I can always go to Rock Glen Family Resort and rent a cabin. That is the my current plan.<br />
<br />
Also a comment about a sewing machine. My mother taught my sister and myself to sew. We always had a sewing machine at home. I was never as good as my mother but I did learn the basics. A sewing machine might come in handy but for now I think I will just borrow my sister-in-laws. I actually saw a small one at Value Village here in town that I almost bought. But, I decide to leave it as I don't have any sewing projects in mind and I would also have to find a place for it.<br />
<br />
So far, my cooking disaster hasn't been repeated. Today, I started a beef roast in the original slow cooker. I've been smelling it all day and it is up to temperature. Good thing for Google to let me know what things should be cooked to. As I was writing this my potatoes boiled over and made a slight mess of the glass top. Crap, something to clean. I guess I can also do work make projects.<br />

<br />
The other Friday, I throw out supper. I had put a chicken breast in the new slow cooker in the morning with a cream soup (I did this previously in the bigger cooker). But it never got up to temperature of 165 F, according to the internet. I heated up frozen vegetables, fried some potatoes and put that together. I checked the chicken, it still didn't look right, so I added chicken chunks to the fry pan. I attempted to eat what I made, but I didn't trust the chicken, so in the garbage it went. Hate throwing out food, but I wasn't taking the chance on food poisoning. Not sure if it was the slow cooker or the chicken, since the soup was current. That was my first disaster in making a meal. I've been really good at cooking my own meals without using Skip The Dishes. A hot dog was then what I could do quickly.<br />
<br />
We had an accumulation of snow the last weekend in February. I had planned for this and got what I needed regarding groceries so I didn't have to travel. I took a couple of pictures of the result. I thought it was rather cool as we had a west wind and looking closely, the drivers side had an area that reminded me of someone surfing, with the way the curve of the snow was. When it stopped, I cleaned the car off. I wanted to avoid having to scrape the windows and the sun did melt the snow remaining on the car.<br />

This past Monday, I planned on putting ties in the duvet cover. When I bought the cover back in October, the cover did not come with ties. The ties help to keep the duvet in place. Over the last couple of weeks I found material (an apron that George used in the restaurant) and cut it up to use for ties. My sister-in-law brought me a portable sewing machine. I started the process of getting the ties sewed into the cover, except the bobbin ran out of thread. Now, I haven't sewn in years and it was a machine I wasn't familiar with. So, to fix this, I packed up the sewing machine, duvet and duvet cover and went to my sister-in-laws. Success, ties sewn in the duvet cover and tied.<br />
<br />
I have been working on a list of repairs done on the RV since 2006, sorting through manuals etc to go with the RV and listing some things I know that I will sell. Yes, the RV will be sold. I just need now to take a look at what is in it and decide from there. George knew that I won't keep the RV. Hooking up the car to the RV is beyond my capabilities. He also knew that I would have to create a new life for myself. What a smart man. My brother made a comment a while ago that he thought the RV was empty. Fat chance. I told him, only the top half is empty. He was a tad surprised at that.<br />
<br />
I purchased Command hooks that are meant to be used to hang brooms etc. They have been in the corner of the front closet and often times fall, which is a nuisance. Therefore, the hooks. Now, they stay in place and are easily removed.<br />

The other day I saw the garbage truck pick up the garbage. I have seen them before but I was able to take pictures of the process. When we first moved here, I wondered how the garbage and recycle was picked up. What a cool process.<br />

During the process, the operator loosened the ties, then when the bag was over the truck, pulled and the bag opened. The garbage was now in the truck. I found the process very cool.<br />
<br />
Today was a Spring like day (50 F, 10 C). The forecast for the next 14 days, we will have above freezing temperatures. Wonderful. Will see if that happens. Hopefully it does, because I would like to get out to the RV and take a good look at the compartments. See what to keep and what to sell. Of course making a note of everything.<br />

I had emptied the boxes prior to the buffet arriving. Needless to say everything needed to washed. Everything has been boxes since 2006, so a wash was necessary. I used the dish washer for the first time to wash anything that wasn't crystal as I believe crystal needs to be washed by hand. 6 more boxes empty.<br />
<br />
Because of the various moves of the boxes, I was very surprised that only 2 sherbets were broke and one chipped glass. There was a box that travelled with us. It had china dishes, crystal wine glasses and good utensils, to be used for a special occasion. What I surprise I had, that everything was intact. Can't believe that for some of the roads we travelled on were very bumpy.<br />
<br />

<br />
While my brother-in-law was here, he also did a minor repair on my spoon rack. George had given it to me one year for Christmas. It was in pieces as he didn't have time to put it together. So, the spoons needed to be at least washed, except of course for the silver ones. We actually had some Twinkle downstairs in storage which made that job much easier.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I accomplished some purging in the linen closet. There was no way I needed all the towels, tea towels, dish cloths, wash cloths and rags. The majority went into a bag and I delivered it to a Thrift Store that they can sort through for rags. During my purging of the towels, I then had a lot more storage I could make use of. I was able to move the shelves to what I wanted to put on the shelf. Of course, I moved shelves several times and they might be moved again. Who knows, time will tell. I'm sure you notice that the bottom shelf seems very empty. There is a plan for that space but I need to get something out of the RV or downstairs in storage. It may not make a lot of sense, but I like the idea of having George's tools handy for me to get to. Thank goodness he was thinking when we took things out of the RV.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Of course during the process, I re-organised stuff in kitchen and laundry area. When we first moved in, we wanted to move some shelves for stuff to be in it. Because of the me first adjusting the shelves in the linen closet, I was able to figure out how the clips work. The clips have a locking system on them and it was suggested to take the doors off and pull the shelf out. Well for me that is not a good idea as I am really good at taking things apart but I'm challenged when putting it back. So, I was able to move several shelves in the laundry area without taking the doors off.<br />
<br />
This past weekend, I went to the RV to get what I was looking for. Found some things I was looking for and some I couldn't find. Mind you, I was able to open all the compartments but one (frozen shut). Maybe what I want is in it or I didn't see what I wanted. While at the RV, I did empty a couple of areas inside the RV to go through another day.<br />
<br />
Also, while at the RV and talking with my sister-in-law, she found out that I have done a couple of meals in the slow cooker. She suggested we go to the New Hamburg Thrift Store and look for a small one. I was in luck and found a little one for a really good price. Found couple of more picture frames that I will use for another project. While at her house, she had a couple of things that she was purging and I could use. So another great find.<br />
<br />
The following project has taken a while to accomplish. I wanted to create an area that shows the merging of two families. The first row of pictures are from our wedding and the balance pictures of George's 70th birthday party.<br />

During the past couple of days, I have copied some of George's recipes to a word document. Not all the recipes on the blog will I use. I have accumulated 30 plus pages of recipes. They are now printed and in a binder that is 5 1/2 by 8". I much prefer a book type selection of recipes instead of always checking the internet. Of course, any recipe I find on the internet will go into my binder.<br />
<br />
As you can see, I have been busy with several projects, with more in mind. I have managed to keep busy. I have started to get to know some people in the various buildings. I've been to coffee time twice, worked on a puzzle with someone I have met and yesterday there was a wine tasting from Bell's Winery here in Stratford. They will make wine from kits to suit what you like. It was very interesting but the red wine they brought, I definitely didn't like.<br />
<br />
Thank you all who commented on Daughter #2 tribute to her father. It took her a while to compose it. She had asked her brother to read it at the funeral, but he declined as he would need a box of Kleenex's. I tried to warn you about the Kleenex's as every time I read it, I need the box.<br />
<br />
I am doing Awesome and taking care of myself as George would wish. He would not want me living in the past. He would want me to go forward with my life without him, even though he is in my thoughts every day.<br />

<br />
I have been keeping myself occupied with getting things done.<br />
<br />
The kids and myself have gone through George's clothes. The majority has gone to Goodwill and some to family members who can make use of them. We also went through pictures and other items.<br />
<br />
I have been working on several projects for pictures. One was to put more pictures on the viewer, so I can have play it with the most important pictures. But I ran into a snag, that has something to do with FAT system and NTFS system. Not willing to deal with that at the moment.<br />

One day this past week, I went shopping with my brother and sister-in-law. Some of you know how much I like shopping. I'm really good at going into a store, not finding what I'm looking for and walking out empty handed. George always said that I can be in and out of store in 5-10 minutes. Well this time, I had success. We went to <a href="https://habitat4home.ca/" target="_blank">Habitat Restore</a> and I found a lateral file cabinet for $25.00. Minor damages, but mostly not visible. Then we went to <a href="http://festivalfurniture.com/" target="_blank">Festival Furniture</a>. They sell used office furniture and I found a desk that was suitable for $225.00, delivery included. The file cabinet was put in my brother's vehicle and the desk was delivered the following afternoon. Why buy new when used works just as well. With these 2 purchases, I was able to empty 5 containers and get everything put away. Needless to say, I had a busy afternoon but also productive.<br />

When George and I were living in Plattsville, we got a dining room buffet from my parents and refinished it. When we retired, it went to my brother's place not thinking that I would ever use it again. Well, it is coming back. When it gets here, I should be able to empty the balance of the boxes that are in the den. Not sure what is in them, but I know the boxes contain items that we kept. This will make shopping very easy and I'm sure there will be surprises as to the things we kept.<br />

Thanks for your comments. I continue to take care of myself and will continue to do so, as George would wish. Before you continue reading, you might want to get some Kleenex's.<br />

<span style="color: red;">The following is what daughter #2 posted on Facebook.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well; took me a while, but I guess I have to start accepting it... missing you Dad.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dad</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well Dad we laid you to rest. Not something I ever pictured doing. Its been almost a month ... it feels like so much more ... I cry every time I edit this, I cry thinking about you not here ... I am the baby so you will have to bare with me ... I think I have put off posting this in ill acceptance that you are gone. Where will I go for that positive don’t give a shit opinion...</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I couldn’t stand up and say something at your funeral Dad, but you know that. So I’ll write and post and hope that you’re up there reading it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My heart has been heavy for months knowing this day was approaching. I’ve cried and cried hoping it wasn’t real. I dreaded the day you would leave us. I cry daily knowing you have ...</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I guess I always just took for granted my happy go lucky Dad that would always grace me with his presence and positive advice every spring and leave me with something to think about every winter... the southern bird that you had become .. I was proud and fiercely jealous all at the same time.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Watching you weaken over that short time was one of the hardest things I have ever had to experience but you kept us all in line with your positive thoughts.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thank you so much for the last Christmas together Dad, I know you struggled to stand and speak from your heart to all of us but it was so beautiful and truly will be something we will cherish beyond years. If only we could all have such courage. You broke my heart ...</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Watching you leave us was so hard; I will never forget watching your last tear fall wiping it away and telling you it was ok ...but I was not ok</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Your visitation and funeral where absolutely beautiful Dad but you know that. We sent you off in your fedora, your suit, a silly tie; of course your vest just in case. We snuck in some goodies; great scotch and some OV. I know there were probably more tears shed than you wanted but its pretty hard to imagine life without our happy go lucky Dad.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The spring will be unimaginable knowing you will not be returning from the sunny south greeting us with all your stories and little treasures you bring back. And of course every detail of every deal you found; whether it be groceries, outings, gas and of course booze.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We will do our best to continue traditions you have left with us.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It sometimes was hard to know all the events and things you missed during your winter journeys but you made us all realize how important it was to get out and do the things you love and to live life to your own individual dreams.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have so so many fond memories of the restaurant days with you. You taught me so much. Many may not know but you would keep all my hand written orders so later you could go over all my spelling mistakes with me. Or how you would make me sweep the floor numerous times until I got all the dirt but never would tell me each time where you still saw dirt... an old friend reminded me recently of the big dinners you would put on for everyone after the figure skating carnivals, because you were just that guy!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’ll never forget how you would drive me to god knows where to get my skates made and sharpened where Elvis Stojko (figure skating enthusiasts would only understand) had his made and sharpened. I cherished those drives with you but probably never showed you the true gratitude I had.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I ‘ll never forget the kind of man you were when I was old enough to pay attention to things like how you would prep dinner before Suzie would get home and tidy up the kitchen just in time for her to walk in the door to the fresh glass of wine you had just perfectly timed for her. And you never stopped being that man for her.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To be honest I thought the blog was silly at the start but it turned out to be quite the idea after all dad. I read it much more than I ever let on to you. More to keep an eye on you or see what you were cooking. Now we all have this special place to always go and read your words.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When asking my oldest what they thought of when thinking of Grand Dad of course they said beer and laughed, which you probably laughed too, they then quickly moved on to memories made;</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They wanted to make sure it was said that:<br />Our kids will always remember your determination to make sure that the last thing you did with them every year was carve pumpkins with them at Thanksgiving, before you heading south, the eldest of the grands as dad would say will have over a decade of these memories. I will never forget your sadness this past year over not being able to do this with them.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They specifically stated they will always remember Grandad making as many hockey games as he could before heading south and taking soo many pictures while on the ice. They would always ask which pics made the blog. Oh and of course breaking quartz rocks open that you would bring back.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
All of your grandchildren are going to miss their silly happy GrandDad sooo much.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Words cannot describe the pain I feel knowing you are actually not coming home this spring Dad...</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And oh Charlize the love you showed to her. I toted her along to the hospice most days always found it hilarious that even in your last days you made sure we knew, that you knew she was there; even with your hearing aides out. I never realized how much of an impact this was on her until after you were gone as we got in the car and she said “let’s go I gotta visit my grandma Sue and Grandad.... I am just so happy we had the visits we had. She knew you were sick and something was happening; I know you smile when she said “shhh that’s grandpa he’s sleeping” ; as she stood by your casket.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I remember you saying once to me not too long ago “looks like the third really is a charm” and then later remembering you always said that about Suzie. I took that as your approval Dad. I knew you liked him.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I will never forget very near to your last day you shaking Robs hand and saying, I am doing great and smiling your big smile at him. You broke both our hearts. But left us shaking our heads a smiling later. But that’s you.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Your last text to me Dad when I knew you were still 100% you ; you said to me; after I had had a rough day; “ you made it this far kid, keep on going..” and those words will be with me as I move into this life without you.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are so many things I wanted to say over the years and recently though didn’t because usually I only had to look at you and you would just know.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I will never forget how you taught me how to drive stick up an icy dirt road... constantly throwing it out of gear while up hill saying ooops what do you do now... over and over... you taught me so much.. I thought you were such an ass ...</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I will miss your check in’s to see if I was ok. You would always tell me when you would see I wasn’t happy and wanted to discuss how I should change something so I was. I was usually determined to deny what you were seeing, but now wish I would have welcomed those discussions more with you.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I will cherish all those last kisses when 1 was never enough..</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I will continue to use hot sauce on everything but now will think of you every time...</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I could go on forever... I will miss you so much more than all those words above can ever express. I just cannot believe you are gone...</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Cheers Dad , till we meet again</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am sure you’re making it awesome up there.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Love You Always, letting you go has been so hard ... but I know you are with me...</div>

My reply to her posting:<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Jessie, Always remember your Father's positive attitude and the way he lived his life. He would want you to carry on as he would have if he was here. He appreciated each and every visit with you, your siblings and grandchildren. Thanks to the 3 of you and family for helping me with packing up our belongings from the RV, moving to the apartment and unpacking. Your Father wanted to make sure that I had a place to live, (he knew his time was short). Thanks for helping me through this difficult time and willing to travel to <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Stratford</st1:place></st1:city> when I needed you 3 to help. Your father got his wish to spend quality time with family, friends, Christmas with both sides of the family and New Year's with me. Thanks Jessie for your posting.</span><br />

Where am I today?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">Stratford, Ontario</span></div>
<br />
<br />
Since my posting a week ago, just know that I am taking care of myself.<br />
<br />
One of the first things I did was making an appointment with the family doctor. I have had a sore thumb for a while and it was determined that it is arthritis. I then went to my chiropractor/natural path for back adjustments and to ensure that I was taking the vitamins that I need. I only take what he suggests as sometimes supplements don't work together as they should. I always eat 3 times a day and sleep when I feel it is necessary. Usually in bed by 9 and up maybe around 6 or 7.<br />
<br />
Last week I also had appointment with the funeral director and I was provided with a list of things that needed to be taken care of. What a wonderful list. This has made process of changing names on accounts etc much easier. The list has been accomplished and I don't think I forgot anything.<br />
<br />
In between me making phone calls and going to appointments, I started to go through the blog to record the various things we have seen during our travels. I thought this list would be beneficial to others, but I have realized that it is always a quick way for me to relive our memories of the places we saw and the people we met. Our object was to see as much of the United States as possible during the winter months. When we would visit a new area, we always looked around for things to see and do. It could be an attraction, museum, flea market or just go for a drive. We didn't see everything in the area at once, as we knew we would go back again and we did. That is why we travelled, to see the sights and learn something new. Both of us did not do well with History in school but we learned a lot while travelling.<br />
<br />
There a couple of things we still wanted to see but that opportunity was not going to happen. For all of you reading this, live your life to the fullest and follow your dreams. Life is too short not to.<br />
<br />
The change in the blog profile I did, does seem to work. You can get my email address from there, but you can still send an email to George as well, since I look at it daily.<br />
<br />
The list includes the date, city or close by city and the attraction.<br />

Where am I today?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">Stratford, Ontario</span></div>
<span style="color: red;"></span><br />
Just to let everyone know, that as George wood say "I'm Awesome".<br />
<br />
It has been a challenging 3 months. First his diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, finding a place to live, getting our possessions out of the RV, at least the top half plus liquid that would freeze, moving into the apartment and then adjusting to George being in hospital or hospice.<br />
<br />
He really wanted me to be settled in a place to live. Between the both of us, we made it happen. We had discussed in previous years what we would do if we couldn't travel. We knew we wouldn't buy a house, probably wouldn't go into a 12 month RV park because if we couldn't travel, we wouldn't be able to look after a property. We decided that we would like an apartment, ground floor, facing south and with a patio, which we made happen. That way we could still outside and enjoy the sunshine. We spent a lot of time outside when weather permitted.<br />
<br />
We both have had to make adjustments in what was happening, but he always had a positive outlook, never did I hear him say anything negative. He often said "It is what it is". He was able to enjoy Christmas with both sides of the family and spending New Year's Eve with me. He had a few more things on his bucket list, that wasn't to be.<br />
<br />
I'm really glad that we had preplanned his arrangements. It made it so much easier on me and the family to accomplish his wishes.<br />
<br />
I have been doing some reorganizing in the apartment as I didn't much time before.<br />
<br />
The kids, my family and his sibling keep checking up on me to make sure that I am ok. I usually talk to someone every day.<br />
<br />
Thanks to all the comments in the previous postings, your condolences and best wishes to me and the family. It does mean a lot to us. Also thanks to those who made a donation to the hospice here in Stratford. It is a wonderful facility for those who need it.<br />
<br />
During the time I spent at home, while he was in hospital or hospice, I started to go through our pictures to do a slideshow at the visitation when it was needed. I have saved approximately 800 pictures and later found out I should use no more than 80 of them. The following are the pictures that were part of the slideshow. Needless to say, too many to put captions on each and every one. The pictures reflect a portion of his life from a little boy to having children and grandchildren. <br />
<br />
I tried adding my email address to the profile. On the preview of the blog, it doesn't look it happened. I will look into it.<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">On Sunday in between the visitations we had a meal for the family catered by Quehl’s in Tavistock. Of course we had to take a picture of the buffet and a plate full of food. We also had a toast in his honor. Can't forget that.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; white-space: pre-wrap;">Yesterday was a celebration of the life of George. He is now at peace without pain. Parts of the service included my brother Dennis, reading the Optimist Creed (totally George), with comments about his and my life. Son Ken, spoke about his Dad’s life, taking parts from what his Dad had written. Son-in-law Brian, read comments from the blog and Facebook that had been compiled. George really liked a Kris Kristofferson song, Why Me Lord, which was played during the service. The postlude was a song by Billy Kell. It was our first song we danced to at our wedding.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Not sure where to start but will give it a try. It could be long, it could be short probably boring but it is all about me as much as I can remember of a very good happy life.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Over the years I have discussed many memories of relatives, but so many gaps and questions, most of those memories are just memories. All gone nothing documented. So I thought this would be a fun project. I have written and published close to 3,800 blog postings of our full time travels in our Motorhome from Aug 2006 until this date and found it very satisfying. So another project I can do while confined to a wheelchair and keep my mind busy. Helping my typing skills return that went away for quite a few weeks.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Hmm let’s start back as far as I can remember and see where that leads. And pretty well all these memories are happy fun times. Smiling and enjoying a good life.</span></div>
<br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;" />
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The early days, way back when I was 4-5 years old I recall living in Toronto’s east end first Brooke Ave, Kingston Rd and Woodbine. Going to Norway Public School, where my Father went as a child. A cosy semi detach (#39 I believe) with Mom, Dad, his parents (Nan and Grand Dad) also dad’s sister Aunt Beryl.</span></div>
<br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;" />
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Somewhere about that time we moved to Scarborough in a newly developed area further east almost country to 50 Larkhall ave. Wow a new house, bush behind us and adventure farm land and baby sister Louise, (4 years younger) . I began a brand new school (grade one I believe). About a mile walk all through new neighborhoods.</span></div>
<br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;" />
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This was a great new house, neighborhood and lots of young families with children to play with. Loving this. Shortly afterward the family purchase a property on Georgian Bay between Collingwood and Wasaga Beach and proceeded to build a new prefab cozy cottage. (Heck more fun and adventure). Only an hour from home. I was still only about 6-7 years old. Cottage fun, building, playing, meeting, more new kids. Practice! Only 5 lots from the Georgian Bay, open lake water and swimming. The cottage was mostly done that summer with help to Dad, Mom, aunts, Uncles, cousins etc. There, pretty well every weekend mostly year round now and so much for us to do. New friends, hide and seek in the bush, by the lake, house games, board games, learning card games, boating, swimming and water skiing. A neighbor had a boat house which half became a clubhouse for us kids, playing records, old 78’s on a wind up record player, making popcorn over an open flame, hot melted butter. Telling stories and generally have fun at the cottage. We were all from somewhere in Toronto. So weekend and holidays were special times. Fun all summer long, How could we not enjoy a fun happy childhood. And a bonus for my sister and myself was our Grandparents who lived with us. We got to spend pretty well the whole summer there at the cottage. Enjoying real fun times in the bush and even helping some neighbors there as well.</span></div>
<br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;" />
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Some very special memories I have was the neighbor across the street, Him and I spent some fun times together, chatting, swimming and snorkeling around the huge rocks in the lake, spotting so many fish, even fishing and swimming way out in the bay, crystal clear water that seemed bottomless back then.</span></div>
<br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;" />
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> So for many years I enjoyed all this fun time. Somewhere in my early teens we stayed home a bit more when school started. So to keep busy in the city for a while I got a paper route and made a few bucks. Then with my good buddy Jim Kelly from school, we worked a few Saturday mornings in a car wash (when cars were washed by hand) .85 cents an hour. Then once in high school Dad bought me my first car (10 bucks) to putter with and keep me off the street. I excelled in Auto Mechanics in school. This was a 1950 Chevy (did not run but had fun with it along with buddy Jim. A few more 10 dollar cars kept me busy and having fun. </span></div>
<br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;" />
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> The car years were fun times too, I bought and sold many back them even trading a car for a motorcycle. Made a few bucks and stayed off the streets. At 14 years old Grand Dad couldn’t drive anymore so gave me his 1956 ford, that needed body work and mechanic work, so I had a project. Next 18 months did what needed to be done and was all done and on the road for my 16th birthday. On which day I wrote the test and took the driving test and was now officially driving!! In the meantime, I got a job at the gas station belonging to neighbor Noel Simpson (Simpsons’s Super Shell Service). This was back in the mid 1960. Where I actually, pumped, gas, check oil, washed your windshield and checked the air in your tires!!!! Even changed oil and did brake jobs there when the pumps were slow. Hey more fun times enjoying the good life.</span></div>
<br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;" />
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Now the car was on the road, cruising around just because I could. But need some money for gas. High school just over a mile away so I arranged with some friends to drive them to and from school. Way back then the bus fare for students was 10 cents, so that is what I charged 10 cents each way to and from school. Pretty well paid for most of my gas back in the day when it was much cheaper. Some days as many as 9 piled in my car, what a sight and fun times we had!</span></div>
<br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;" />
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Still playing with having fun buying trading etc, different cars, motorcycles etc. Lotsa great old cars. One day pumping gas a customer came in with his family and asked if I wanted to buy his car. An interesting looking 1956 Plymouth, American made. He had bought it in California to drive here with his family. Never seen road salt no rust and slightly customized, no Chrome, electric remote trunk all black custom interior, lowered springs plus factory tinted glass, A rare car for sure. So $125.00 I had yet another car. The engine was not the best but it was a cool car.</span></div>
<br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;" />
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">To resolve the engine issue, a neighbor we knew built racing boats and offered me a 391 V8 (hemi) from a 1958 Desoto all rebuilt but the car was totaled. A huge engine rated at over 400 horsepower, for only $100.00. With his help and some minor changes we shoehorned this in there and man would this car fly! So fast it scared me, never lost a race with that car back in the day. But at only 5 mpg was kinda expensive to drive, all my money went into fuel. It was a great challenge and so glad I got that car and made it happen. Eventually sold that Plymouth and bought sensible 1964 Chevy Belair Air 4 door 6 cylinder.</span></div>
<br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;" />
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Then Jim and I headed to the CNE (Canadian National Exhibition) for some fun. There we met 2 girls, one who ended up being my first wife, the mother of Daughter #1 Kim and my son Ken. Enjoying a good life happy as can be, working a midnight shift at the bus depot in downtown Toronto. A few part time jobs, found a nice 3 bedroom room apartment to live in for a while. (Trudelle Court) but decided I did not like living in the City. </span></div>
<br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;" />
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Well as luck would have it, an opening occurred at the bus depot in Kitchener, Ontario. A much smaller city. Population 100,000 compared to one million in Toronto. With the help of my parents back in 1970 at 20 years old, purchased our first much older home (16 K). Renovated it for a bit then 2 years later built a new bungalow (18K) very nice. Now working at the bus depot in Kitchener and part time driving Taxi in Kitchener making good money, new appliances, and another car, etc. Determined to make a good life for our perfect family. Hmm, only thing missing was me. After 7 years ended up divorced. Oops. goofed. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Determined to carry on and smile my life moved forward. Still in the house I met a few guys so here we are 4 bachelors in a nice new house, almost party central. Still working and carrying on trying to decide what direction to go. Eventually met a nice lady for a few years, but not what I wanted. Single for a few more years getting close to 30 years old, still working 2 jobs and 2 more houses later. Was getting worried still not married, something I always wanted. Yes, I visited my 2 children frequently (in Toronto) an hour away. Then I met another lady she became my second wife, and eventually married and mother of daughter #2 Jessica. </span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In the meantime real estate interest rates went ski high! My newer bungalow in Waterloo became unaffordable, so got lucky as I usually did. Sold it and bought a much less expensive house in Kitchener and carried on.</span></div>
<br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;" />
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Now here I am again wondering about a life change. Have a good job 13 years now, pays well and a pension in the future, to retire on in 25 years at 55. Hmm do I want to work here 25 more years? Shift work, holidays and Christmas etc...? Naw, so found a factory job at Old Time Stove company, a day job, with nights and weekends off. More to life than money and working, right? Grinding, painting, lift truck etc. plus a regular Monday to Friday work week. Something I have never done. This job was more fun, a challenge and some physical labor. I enjoyed it, plus a bonus, for the 3 years I was there, slow periods was laid off in the winter, and with employment insurance, time off and a few casual jobs, a more interesting lifestyle.</span></div>
<br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;" />
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Then at that time was I was offered a job in Toronto (Scarborough) in a Woolco Catalogue warehouse, another interesting change about 1981. Picking driving a lift truck, more money and benefits, plus my wife was offered a job there as well. Good deal. So we commuted for a while 1 hour each way. Shortly afterwards rented our house for a year and moved into an apartment building where father lived with his wife. Now that was fun, less commuting and more time with my father and his wife. Almost a full year, then got laid off and went back to Old Time stove in Kitchener for while until the tenants moved from the house. During this time working and commuting in Toronto I joined a CB club. Lots commuters travel back and for. This made the drive more fun and another social group we got involved in. We would have get togethers, meetings and picnics all related to our CB’s, meter hunts etc, and actually got to meet some of these people behind their voices on the radio. We all had a Handle (name) not unlike on blogging and cyber names. My handle was “Day Dreamer”, maybe because that was me always Daydreaming and making my dream and wishes come true. My 2 oldest children we around 12 year old Kim was “Fancy Figure” as she was a figure skater, and Ken’s handle was “Pokey”, LOL because he was.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Back to the house in Kitchener applied for a job at MTD products (They made lawn mowers, snow blowers, tillers, garden tractors etc) working at various jobs, assembly painting, lift truck, here has benefits and lots of over time. I became a Union Steward for about 3 years, a very interesting addition. In the meantime sold our house in Kitchener in 1982 and bought a nice tiny affordable house in the village of Plattsville. Population 750 at the time on a double lot. Finally out of the city!!!</span></div>
<br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;" />
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Small town living. It did not take long for us to fit in. Friendly neighbors community functions. Church etc and only a 20 minute country drive to work loved it! Weekends off mowing lawns, bbq’s with new friends and neighbors. Now this is the life. </span></div>
<br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;" />
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">While living here in the small village My 2 children Kim and Ken, almost teenagers came to visit on weekends as they lived in the city. Coming to the country was a treat for them. Hiking, biking, the beaches and even went camping with my tent trailer. One fun adventure we enjoyed was rowing down the Nith River that came through Plattsville in August. Well the river in August there is not a lot of water, so for us to travel 2 concessions. Took about 5 hours of fun, laughter and splashing in the river, frequently having to get out and pull the 8 foot row boat down stream. Enjoyed the scenery past cow pastures, and even a few places where people had built cottages right on the river.</span></div>
<br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;" />
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Then along came daughter #2 in 1985 Jessica, and my involvement as a charter member of the Plattsville/Bright Optimist club. Meeting more local people with membership around 50 including spouses. Here we organized, lots of children activities, like bus trips, bike rodeos, teen dances even adult dances at the town hall, Christmas, New Years etc. Community stuff that brought so many together. Going to other clubs and dinner meetings saw they had newsletters. Well nobody wanted to do one in our club so I thought I would give it a try. We had a portable typewriter so trying to type I could write a newsletter (this took a while) cut and paste pictures, update every month with new and birth dates then photocopy. One day I was invited over to our ministers and he showed me what he could do on his Apple computer, wow! Was I impressed. So managed to get an old PC (before windows) and tried to teach myself how to use it. Hmm a computer course did not help much so plugged away with this thing and when windows came along I was catching on. Still having fun in the community. </span></div>
<br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;" />
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Then in 1989 the small restaurant in town was for sale, a soup and sandwich a good price. Well something else I always wanted to do own and cook in a restaurant. This place was busy and was needed with all the new construction popping up in town. So here I am quite my job at MTD products and dove right in head first. Never even worked in a restaurant but liked to cook. With the help of Jessica’s mother, we opened the door of Jessie’s Diner. Decided on some long hours to see if we could fill a void. Well after a year the 100 hours a week plus, we took on the contract at the factory across the road. Took a toll on our marriage. We parted ways, amicably and carried on with new lives. </span></div>
<br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;" />
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Having liquidated some assets to start over. The listing agent for our house wanted me to meet a new woman. She had a lot of single girl friends, Suzanne is her name. So here I am still working the restaurant by myself with some hired staff taking and some time to meet some of these interesting ladies. Not easy being 40 years old single divorced twice, 3 children and working all the time. But eventually, Nov 23rd 1990 a Friday night, I met this interesting lady somewhere down this list of women. We enjoyed a coffee at Tim Hortons in Kitchener hit it off and agreed to have our mutual friend disappear. The night was young and I had a good friend and his band played just outside of town at The Blue Moon Hotel (Billy Kell). So we decided to take a drive out there and catch a set of his great music. I had been there earlier that week with another woman, and as soon as we walked in, Billy on stage in the middle of a song welcome us with! And here is George Yates with another woman! Good thing Suzie has a sense of humor and knew my situation she stayed and enjoyed a fun evening. Yup we hit it off.</span></div>
<br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;" />
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The next night was Saturday and my staff party for the restaurant (staff about then) I invited her and Suzanne (our friend) out and a fun time was had. Then while I was at it, Sunday was my day to have Jessica for a visit (5 year old then). What an overload she took in and the rest is history. We had a lot of things in common, travel being one of them. She did not want to work in the restaurant, enjoyed our quiet times together and she liked doing my book work for me. Allowing us to spend more time together and taught me how to slow down a bit and enjoy life as opposed to working non stop all the time. (ya know stop and smell the roses).</span></div>
<br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;" />
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A short while later, we bought a house in Plattsville (fixer upper) and spent the next 15 there. I still had my tent trailer from 1967 in good shape. We took it out a few times and I found out she enjoyed camping too, not fancy but we were off the ground and dry. Cut hours back a bit in the summer so we could camp Saturday afternoon and Sunday, touring all around southern Ontario having a ball, hiking, canoeing, reading biking, reading on the beaches, hey this is a real life! Then about 1997 we bought a Class B van RV. Toured, took a trip to the Maritimes and New England with Jessica and a girl friend (2- 12 year old's by now). Another great time we had.</span></div>
<br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;" />
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Moving ahead to 1999, 10 years in the restaurant, I was burning out so got a job in a Tool and Die shop. Working with a good friend Marc (owner) driving lift truck loading trailers, running production etc. Working straight afternoon shift Monday to Thursday 4 -10 hours shifts. Friday off. Wow 3 day weekends every week, I am in heaven more time together and more camping! No stress less hours my back beginning to feel better not on my feet all day. Suzie did not mind the quiet evenings during the week either. More quiet and reading time for her. Life is good all the way around. Me Happy, she Happy what is not to like. For the next 7 years I worked there, I was put in an office to write up policies and procedures for this factory to pass a workers compensation audit. I had 1 year to complete this. We passed the audit, then I was assigned to do employee training. All 125 employees plus newly hired ones. For another year then Lift truck training, and crane training and safety. </span></div>
<br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;" />
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In the meantime we got more and more camping in and enjoyed it even more is some slow winter time a friend and I remodeled the Kitchen in our house. It was finally all renovated. With no pensions to work for no need to keep on plugging away. Suzie being a bookkeeper checked with our accountant, financial adviser and worked on numbers. Bottom line, we knew what it would cost to go full time if we were frugal. Sold our house as we had recently purchased the RV of our dreams (1999 Holiday Rambler Vacationer) and owed no money. In May 2006 we decided it was time to get going what up loose ends, quit work, sell house, (we got more than asking) liquidate and hit the road. People thought we were nuts, (too young they said). Suzie was 49 and me 56 at the time. But with most of females in my family getting sick with cancer, strokes, heart problems etc, we decided best live our dream now while we can. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> So Aug 18th, 2006 the house closed and we were now full time RV’ers. Free to travel, explore follow the sun and avoid these cold snowy winters here in Canada. At that time, I thought it would be a great idea to document all this stuff down and started our blog (Our Awesome Travels, </span><a href="about:blank" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">www.geosuzie.blogspot,com</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">). Thinking for our own records and the family to know where we are and what we were doing. The rest is history and pretty well a daily journal of what us young retired people do living in an RV.</span></div>
<br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;" />
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Then in October 2019, I had some major pain, a visit to the Stratford Hospital and I was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer that was affecting my liver as well. Consulting all the specialists, it was determined that this is not curable. I could do radiation, chemo to extend my life, but not cure this, or choose for the rest of my life to be comfortable and pain free. Second choice by the 2 of us was agreed upon. We have enjoyed an amazing life together for the last 30 years, lived most of our dreams travelling and spent 13 of our 26 years married, living in our Motorhome exploring places most people never get a chance to see and meet so many fun and interesting people.</span></div>
<br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;" />
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Now with this diagnosis, heading south and travelling is out of the question. Plus living here in Ontario for the winter is really not feasible either, especially considering my health conditions.</span></div>
<br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;" />
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">So we got lucky found a brand new apartment in Stratford, close to her family for support and less than 10 minutes from the hospital. The perfect place to be. One bedroom plus den, ground floor, patio, southern exposure and 6 brand new appliances. Boy did we get lucky. But then after only 2 nights in the apartment, back to the hospital, more specialists, consulting and tests. I was admitted into the Perth County Hospice, an amazing facility that caters to my every needs. Friendly staff, amazing food, almost like a luxury resort and people came to visit us frequently. Some I have not seen for quite a while, plus the doctor even gave me a prescription for 2 beers a day if I wish! Now how does that sound?</span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Many of us are between 65 and death . An old friend sent me this excellent list for aging , and , I have to agree it’s good advice to follow … particularly the item 19 .</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; font-style: italic; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">01 – </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It’s time to use the money you saved up . Use it and enjoy it . Don’t just keep it for those who may have no notion of the sacrifices you made to get it . Remember there is nothing more dangerous than a son or daughter-in-law with big ideas for your hard-earned capital . Warning : This is also a bad time for investments , even if it seems wonderful or fool-proof . They only bring problems and worries . This is a time for you to enjoy some peace and quiet .</span></div>

You’ve taken care of them for many years , and you’ve taught them what you could . You gave them an education , food , shelter and support . The responsibility is now theirs to earn their own money .</span></div>

Do moderate exercise ( like walking every day ) , eat well and get your sleep . It’s easy to become sick , and it gets harder to remain healthy . That is why you need to keep yourself in good shape and be aware of your medical and physical needs . Keep in touch with your doctor , do tests even when you’re feeling well . Stay informed .</span></div>

The key goal is to enjoy your money with your partner . One day one of you will miss the other , and the money will not provide any comfort then , enjoy it together .</span></div>

You’ve already overcome so much in your life . You have good memories and bad ones , but the important thing is the present . Don’t let the past drag you down and don’t let the future frighten you . Feel good in the now . Small issues will soon be forgotten .</span></div>

Don’t stop going to your hair salon or barber , do your nails , go to the dermatologist and the dentist , keep your perfumes and creams well stocked . When you are well-maintained on the outside , it seeps in , making you feel proud and strong .</span></div>

There’s nothing worse than an older person trying to wear the current fashion among youngsters . You’ve developed your own sense of what looks good on you – keep it and be proud of it . It’s part of who you are .</span></div>

Read newspapers , watch the news . Go online and read what people are saying . Make sure you have an active email account and try to use some of those social networks . You’ll be surprised what old friends you’ll meet . Keeping in touch with what is going on and with the people you know is important at any age .</span></div>

They may not have the same ideals as you , but they are the future , and will take the world in their direction . Give advice , not criticism , and try to remind them that yesterday’s wisdom still applies today .</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; font-style: italic; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">11 –</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Never use the phrase In my time . Your time is now . As long as you’re alive , you are part of this time . You may have been younger , but you are still you now , having fun and enjoying life .</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; font-style: italic; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">12 –</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Some people embrace their golden years , while others become bitter and surly . Life is too short to waste your days on the latter . Spend your time with positive , cheerful people , it’ll rub off on you and your days will seem that much better . Spending your time with bitter people will make you older and harder to be around .</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; font-style: italic; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">13 –</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Do not surrender to the temptation of living with your children or grandchildren ( if you have a financial choice , that is ) . Sure , being surrounded by family sounds great , but we all need our privacy . They need theirs and you need yours . If you’ve lost your partner ( our deepest condolences ) , then find a person to move in with you and help out . Even then , do so only if you feel you really need the help or do not want to live alone .</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; font-style: italic; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">14 –</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Don’t abandon your hobbies . If you don’t have any , make new ones . You can travel , hike , cook , read , dance . You can adopt a cat or a dog , grow a garden , play cards , checkers , chess , dominoes , golf . You can paint , volunteer or just collect certain items . Find something you like and spend some real time having fun with it .</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; font-style: italic; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">15 –</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Even if you don’t feel like it , try to accept invitations . Baptisms , graduations , birthdays , weddings , conferences . Try to go . Get out of the house , meet people you haven’t seen in a while , experience something new (or something old) . But don’t get upset when you’re not invited . Some events are limited by resources , and not everyone can be hosted . The important thing is to leave the house from time to time . Go to museums , go walk through a field . Get out there .</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; font-style: italic; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">16 –</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Be a conversationalist . Talk less and listen more . Some people go on and on about the past , not caring if their listeners are really interested . That’s a great way of reducing their desire to speak with you . Listen first and answer questions , but don’t go off into long stories unless asked to . Speak in courteous tones and try not to complain or criticize too much unless you really need to . Try to accept situations as they are . Everyone is going through the same things , and people have a low tolerance for hearing complaints . Always find some good things to say as well .</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; font-style: italic; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">17 –</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Pain and discomfort go hand in hand with getting older . Try not to dwell on them but accept them as a part of the cycle of life we’re all going through . Try to minimize them in your mind . They are not who you are , they are something that life added to you . If they become your entire focus , you lose sight of the person you used to be .</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; font-style: italic; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">18 –</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> If you’ve been offended by someone – forgive them . If you’ve offended someone – apologize . Don’t drag around resentment with you . It only serves to make you sad and bitter . It doesn’t matter who was right . Someone once said : Holding a grudge is like taking poison and expecting the other person to die . Don’t take that poison . Forgive , forget and move on with your life .</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; font-style: italic; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">19 – </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you have a strong belief , savor it . But don’t waste your time trying to convince others . They will make their own choices no matter what you tell them , and it will only bring you frustration . Live your faith and set an example . Live true to your beliefs and let that memory sway them .</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">

Laugh at everything . Remember , you are one of the lucky ones . You managed to have a life , a long one . Many never get to this age , never get to experience a full life . But you did . So what’s not to laugh about ? Find the humor in your situation .</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; font-style: italic; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">21 –</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Take no notice of what others say about you and even less notice of what they might be thinking . They’ll do it anyway , and you should have pride in yourself and what you’ve achieved . Let them talk and don’t worry . They have no idea about your history , your memories and the life you’ve lived so far . There’s still much to be written , so get busy writing and don’t waste time thinking about what others might think . Now is the time to be at rest , at peace and as happy as you can be !</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; font-style: italic; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">And , Remember : </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Life is too short to drink bad wine ! ! ! Or , in my case , bad Arnold Palmer </span></div>
