Room For All

Spending it in Ottawa with our granddaughter while our daughter is helping lead a one day forest school workshop

Could be fun. I imagine we'll move closer to Ottawa if Little M and his partner stay there. Both have permanent jobs now so they are staying for the near term at least. I have to retire first (maybe 2025).

I've been away and babysitting the grandkids for most of the week. So...sorry to hear about the stumbles! Today, I'm rested because I slept in my own bed. But I keep imagining that I hear the 3-year-old asking Grandma for a drink, or to play a game, or a snack.

Today I said goodbye to my wee dog, Tucker. It was no longer acceptable to let him suffer. So hard.

Hugs, Kay. So hard. The idea of the Rainbow Bridge comforts me when I need to let go of a critter companion.

Hugs to you. It's so hard saying goodbye to a beloved four legged companion.

I've joined the tumbling crowd. I stopped to take a photo. I moved to get a better angle and tripped over a rock, then tripped over it again as I tried not to fall. My hand is sore but seems mostly my pride was injured.

Offending photos. I was trying to get a better angle for the second photo.

For life's perambulations
When the Hey look here I come
Goes WOAH OH OH @$!$#

Much healing
Maybe some visits from some friends (lovebombing)
Some sacred silence
Observing the Was
Remembering the Yet
Being Present in the Isness of It All

Look over there
A rainbow?
(Or since it is Canada, a Sleetbow?)
Dare follow it
To what is on the other side?
Like bugs bunny
Who never studied law
And can walk through air

Oooh -they look like hyacinths! Do they grow wild there? I love their scent.

 

[Delightful Life]

Inanna and I love smoked herring. I like pickled herring as well.

Mmm good memories there :3
Glad you enjoyed the pickled herring--more for you

 

[Delightful Life]

Thank you! Coffee, coffee, all day long. Coffee, Coffee, it's how we get so strong!

Now and always
Amen

 

[Delightful Life]

I'm having coffee right now with Inanna Whimsey!

We were and often were
So much to choose from
And when I get there again we can have more...and besides
I hope Paper Tiger is still going strong

They are hyacinths. I'm not sure if they're wild or planted. There was a gardener in the family of the park owners who did a lot of work around the park. Also campers have planted things along the way.

I do hope you picked one to put in a vase in your RV to add a spring scent.

I didn't but they are on our site so there's still time

 

[Mrs.Anteater]

Oh, I had food dropped off and company with TH and muffins coming doing my dishes and opening containers, hanging laundry and cleaning the litterbox. A good list of friends offering drives and everything i could need.

My brother sent pictures of my mother on her death bed, which I now can’t unsee. No idea, why that would be a scene anybody would want to take a pic of. Emails going back and forth about what to put into the obituary.

I spoke with a friend yesterday, who said that it is harder for relatives to make peace after a death if the relationship was complicated. I can see that now. The emotions don’t end with death.

 

[Redbaron]

Good morning, all! A snowy, blustery day today, at least in these parts. I sort of hope this is winter's finale.
We gather round the cart to offer support to (and be supported by) each other. We think of those with broken bones or various aches and pains. We think of those with complicated relationships with family members nearing the end of their earthly sojourn; as well as others who our in our minds and hearts. Let us join in community and hot beverages, uphold and be upheld by each other.

There are those that believe religiously that lies are best to ensure success of a small number ... thus that dead god that was for the good of all!

Could this result in diabolical flash back in the mystery? Hell feyre ... fair ... cui bono?

Thus ups and downs in the quarkiness ... yet ... still people find it easier not to know and blindness to what's coming ...

Hugs to you MrsA. I totally understand. I suppose some say we need to see that to accept the death. I don't buy that. We were with my mother when she died. I'd love that image of her to be erased. At the same time, I'm glad we could support her and "send her off". When my father was taken to the hospital last year, we were able to see him using What'sApp. I absolutely appreciated that service and being able to connect with him from afar. That is also an image I can't erase.

I can't offer wisdom. I can though offer comfort and hugs from afar.
