Day 50 - 315 Days to Go

It happend again. I was finished on the computer for the night, turned it off, started walking upstairs and realized - I forgot to do my Blog tonight. Day 50 yet! This should be some type of "Golden" celebration. It's bed time so I shouldn't have cake; it's bed time so I shouldn't drink! It's bed time - I should just go to bed.

A little bit accomplished today. Ran down to Country 105 and picked up my winnings from the other morning. I had my first experience using the parking meters where you can call in with your phone. Note to self - need to remember license plate number. It will save alot of walking back and forth.
After that, I popped in to see my mother-in-law. I thought she looked good today. She seemed a little tired, but her and Dad were watching Chinese movies or soap operas. They were a little violent for my liking. Mom got tired and wanted to go back to bed. She seems weak and her legs gave out on her. Dad helped lift her into bed. He is so gentle with her!!!!! Mom dozed off and I headed out. Had a coffee date with a girlfriend whom I used to work with at Royal Trust. That was over 20 years ago. We've kept in touch sporadically. After she left royal trust to have her two girls, we went out for a visit to their property out north of Cochrane. The daughter was probably 5 or 6 or 7 and the son 2 to 4. Fast forward 11 years later. I decided one New Years that I was going to try and get in touch with some friends that I had lost contact with. One of them was this friend, Laurel. We met for supper in Cochrane, just the two of us. Some time later we discover each other again at soccer games. Her two girls played and in fact the youngest was at Banff camp with my son. How amazing that circle of life goes around!!!!!! The kids are older now and they have formed their own friendship - I just think that is so cool.
The rest of the day was just pretty much house stuff, computer stuff and I even snuck in that 60 minute nap.

BODY: The pedometer is over 10,000 steps. Been practising the new line dance.

MIND: Quote ....."Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave and impossible to forget." Thanks Laurel for coming back into my life!

Now I'm turning off the computer and going to bed
