TOGETHER

Flowers and vegetables share this small space together.

We were happy that Carol and Panteli came over to share watching the Canucks game together.  Sharing the supper Carol had prepared was delightful.  Lots to talk about.

We know others like Ken  in Australia are watching too.  We connect before the game starts.  I am sure Shandel and Cameron will be watching too.

A rainy day when the sun came out at the last minute.  Spenser and I enjoyed a short walk to the park.

Sadly dad did not have a good night.  He fell in the bathroom rushing in and losing his balance.  He has hurt his ribs.  This will take time to heal but it will.  He has done worse he tells me.  We have to learn to slow down aswe grow older and try to be careful!

Everyday is special as we share time together.  I come up with some weird ideas but dad is the more practical.  

It is good to remember all the family memories we have shared together.

It is okay to think differently and we know every relationship has it's imperfections.   It is important to communicate our feelings.  The goal is maintain a sense of our worthiness and authenticity. 

We may be apart but we will always feel together.  Miles cannot separate us!

Thanks Rick,
We are all having our problems.

Look forward to better days.

Lots of rest for dad today.

Thanks Panteli for the phone call.

I think the pizza was what upset him.

So sorry to hear that Larry had a fall. You both need to be so careful of falling. It is so easy to break a hip or something else. Be careful and use your cane or walkers. Take your time.
What a lovely close family the Bennetts are...even the ones living far away stay in touch daily with phone calls or through your blog Beth. The girls are so good too, having you over for suppers and bringing suppers to you. it is nice that you watched the hockey together. I am not interested in hockey at all this year.
I would like to watch some of the Bluejays games but Ken isn't in to much sports...he would be fine with watching, but I am ok with what he likes to watch too.

It has been so hot and humid for days and days and finally today the weather is a little cooler...24, but the humidity is 100% which makes it uncomfortable whenever you try to do anything. We both are looking forward to fall.

I am painting with acrylic inks now...after a hiatus of almost two years, I finally feel like I have turned the corner and am seeing things in bright colours and loose shapes. I wish I could post the study I did on your blog...but you can see it on my facebook page. Just a study of northern lights and trees with some snow on them. Not a large finished painting...something easy and free style.

well my supper duties are calling me....I am making homemade french fries and shrimp. with garden veggies of course...we have an abundance of them and have been giving them away as well.

Have a great day....go easy now, don't hurry or rush...things will get done when they get done!

love to you both,
Nancy

Oh I am sorry to hear Grandpa fell. Yes, it is a good reminder to slow down. Rest up and feel better. Yes, we did watch most of the Vancouver game. We are cheering them on.

We always seem to be waiting for something.

For spring , then summer, then fall.

For results from tests. For less pain.

Habits are hard to break.

Love mom

I have been watching u-tube videos on Killer whales, they are fascinating .Do you guys remember when the killer whales escorted our leaking boat home from Cabbage Island after Dad beached the boat ???
Sorry to hear Dad had a fall. Did you go down to Scott road and 72nd to celebrate the canucks win ?? \
Still very wet and cold here. All the kids are protesting Apple have taken the kids game FORTNIGHT off the ipads and iphones. Jasmine very up set . And with Trump banning TICTOC has not been a good week .

Yes Ken that is a good memory.

No we did not go out to Scott Road to celebrate.
Those days are over.

It is maddening when things are discontinued,
Matthew looks so handsome and grown up.

My birthday car from a friend took a month to get here.More hockey to night.
