Priscilla Jean Buzzell

Yesterday was the end of a wonderful life, my Mother-In-law passed away. She was born on August 10, 1930. Here was a lady who loved life and her family was everything to her. She would often say as long as our family is together that is the only thing that matters. She lived to be 81 years young.
Two years ago she lost the love of her life her dear husband Earle. It was an extremely tough time for her. They had been together more than 60 years. She tried her hardest to cope with life with out him, but it was a trial.
For the past month her health deterioted very quickly and on November 10th at 6:30 Earle came to her and took her home. My daughter Sarah said, "Mom the angels are dancing with them now. Look at Grampa he has a huge grin from ear to ear. They are together again, isn't it a wonderful thing?
This week we will bury them in a beautiful cemetary with big beautiful maple trees. It is the perfect place for a perfect couple.
Safe journey Priscilla Jean and Earle Peter! God bless you both.

Dental appointment!

Yesterday was quite the day, I was up at 5:30 at work by 7:00. I was suppose to work until 3:30, but asked the boss I had a dental appointment in another town and it takes me about 40 minutes when all the conditions are right. I made the ramp onto the hiway only to find they were putting new pavement down and of course you could not exit so it took forever and I had an OPP officer in his car right behind me. When we finally got past the construction zone I pulled over into the righ lane immediatley and boy did he go flying by apparently he had to be somewhere in a hurry. The dental appoinment went fine, just a cleaning today and all was well with my teeth.
When I got home I had to let the dog out and then my dear friend Trish and I went out for dinner (fish and chips) My DH was away for a couple of days. So I was free as a bird. It was very good.
Today was a good day, all the grandchildren came for dinner and that is always a lot of fun.
On my way to a good night's sleep, one more day and then I have the week end off. Hope to blog again on the weekend, stay tuned!

What happened?

Tonight was our Stitching Sister's wednesday night at our community centre. We had a small group but we had lots of fun quite a few laughs. We did miss you Jayne. Hope all is well with you. Trish was missing too, she said she was coming but something must have come up.
I am off tomorrow but my two daughters Sarah and Rachel are going with me to visit their Grandmother. She is ill and we are thinking she will enjoy a visit.
I have been working on Christmas ornaments for the last little while, tonight I started on one with teddy bears it is so cute. I will post a photo in a couple of days.
Everyone have a good Thursday!

It is fixed!

Hi everyone, well my blog looks normal again, I have no idea what happened. I called my friend Jayne who helps me out with a lot of my stitching finishes and also with my blog. She is a great friend and I have a feeling it was she who figured it out. Thanks again Jayne.
Today was my last day of holidays until January. I spent it with my daughter Sarah, we went to visit my mother-in-law her Grandmother. She is now in pallative care hospital. We spent the morning and early afternoon with her. It was a good visit. I took her some apple crisp which she really enjoyed. We arrived home an hour earlier than my grandchildren which is a very good thing.
I will sign off for today, I have to go and make my lunch. One thing I did was add up all my breakfast and lunch bills from our restaurant at work. Way way too much, I am getting frugal and I am starting tonight. Steve (DH) and I are changing our lifestyle we both have some weight to lose.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian blogger friends and to all my blogging friends in the USA yours is coming and let me tell you the turkey was delicious and so was the rest of our dinner. My youngest daughter Rachel is now in charge of the pies. She made pumpkin and an apple/crandberry and peach pie they were delicious. My oldest daughter Sarah brought squash and munchies for before dinner. It is always a lot of work but so much fun to have the family home. Lots of laughs and good times. We did have our sad times my husband's Mother is not well and we are all very worried, as her time with us is not going to be very long.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

WOW!!!!

Hi everyone, sorry I have not had much time to blog lately but I went on today and WOW my tekki friend Jayne had been at work. I love it, fall is my favourite season. I love it thanks so much!!!
I really don't have much news, I have been working on two wedding samplers, my Mom was invited to two weddings and asked me to stitch them for her. So I have been busy with them.
We had our annual inventory at my work place so I spent a lot of time at work. Not fun at all!!
I am signing off for today. I will try to get back to blogging soon.

Cancer takes another great man.

Today was a very sad day for many Canadians, Jack Layton was such a great person. He has changed our country so much and in my opinion for ever. I have just finished reading the letter he had left for his wife to pass on to us if he should pass. I read it and wept, truly a very emotional end. He was a great polition and a very intelligent man. The world is sadder today but hopefully we can remember him with a smile. He truly loved life and he also loved Canada.

Work, work, work!

What is a girl to do. I have worked all week end, I am very sad not much stitching has been accomplished. I don't get another day off until Saturday. I am hoping that maybe my DH and I will be able to get away to Lake Huron for a picnic if we have good weather. Every year we meet our friends and share a fun day over looking one of the most beautiful lakes ever.
My DH is working tonight so maybe I can fit in some stitching tonight after I pull some threads I have two wedding samplers to stitch for my Mom. She has been invited to two weddings and she has asked me to stitch them. She is not a cross stitcher. She knits, crochets, and cooks. She created one cross stitch project and that was enough for her.
Hope everyone has had a great week end!

Doesn't he look harmless?

Looks can be deceiving, for those who do not know I have to walk with a cane. I have dystonia and for the last few years I have had to give in and use the trusty cane. So this morning before work I had to drop my beloved Tucker off at the groomers. This morning it was raining like crazy, getting him to the car was no easy task but we both made it. Then after work I had to pick him up as my DH was working out of town. Picking him up was the problem after paying the bill I went to turn around he somehow managed to trip me and I went flying....cermaic tile is pretty hard when you hit it as hard as I did. WOW what a spectacle I must have been. But I must say the staff and customers were great and helped me to my feet. Someone else put him in the car. Now I think I will have a hot bath and maybe a nap. I've had enough for one day!
Stay posted I am sure there will be more stories about my lovely Irish Setter.
