❄️ This was our lovely snowfall on Sunday. It snowed last night, Tuesday, and we're back to square one!
This is what it looked like in the dark last night!
It's warmed up here. In Mayo, Yukon, where my kids father was born, not so much! The CBC Climate Dashboard shows an oncoming storm. We've supplies in, and the snowblower is ready.
🐈 Do you know Larry the Cat at 10 Downing St?
Joseph Brian and I were were reflecting on our aging issues. I keep telling our kids that once you hit 40 it's all downhill! (All three of them are in their 40s!) My parents found it difficult accepting their decreasing physical abilities. Joseph Brian cannot operate the snow blower these days. I've slowed down.
Joe was searching for a former colleague who'd made the news, and Googled himself! His last week of work before retirement he'd testified in front of the Senate Transportation Committee. Both of us are having difficulties retrieving nouns. He was incredibly articulate during these hearings, as the transcript shows!
One forgets one's knowledge and skills we required, and our contributions to society. He was articulate, and knew the operations of the airline. Whether we worked (in and/or outside the house), raised kids, volunteered, or looked after family, we all made contributions.
I used AI, just on a whim. AI offered to summarize my findings for me and made JB into 'Senator Racine!' He wasn't a senator... he was a Government Relations Manager. DON'T TRUST AI!
🎂 Jordan, at Queen's U, turned 18 on Tuesday. Apparently his extended family sent stuff! Parental unit, maternal grandparents, paternal grandparents, in both Canada and the US!
What a hoot. Each box has a cookie with his name on it.
One friend plays in the orchestra club. They played show tunes! Jordan is thriving! These young people, studying astrophysics, have many talents and skills.
I haven't heard much from Jesse, my second born. I texted him, and have proof of life! They have bought a new house in Vancouver and are preparing to move Dec. 20th! Cluny and Bryony are in a Vancouver Panto. Things are hopping.

First, I love your hat! And second, Happy Birthday to Jordan -- that was great birthday loot! I hear you on the downhill physical things. I've really felt it this year. And I like your venture into AI to learn about yourselves! A good warning!
Is a Panto a pantomime group?
...the same here.
It will very shortly look even more like winter. Danica has an exam at Carleton U this evening. She will drive in early afternoon, hopefully avoiding some of the worst weather. I don’t know about getting home. Maybe she’ll crash somewhere? That would be nice.
Oh, I should say that I understand about losing track of nouns, mostly the proper nouns. They usually eventually make their way back to my consciousness, but the delay is frustrating and worrisome.
The hat is cute. Happy birthday to Jordan!
Take care, have a great day!
Aging sucks. I seem to be feeling it more these days.
Ha ha, Jordan's boxes of cookies will keep him busy! I agree with you wholeheartedly, the future is bright with our fantastic young people. Snowblower ready, that is a lot of winter work.
Jordan, Many Very Happy Birthday Wishes. It seems so long ago when you visited us down here. Lovely birthday treats, goodies galore.

Crikey, moving house before Christmas - that's stressville, right there! YAM xx
Hej, mit navn er Jenny. Jeg var i et forhold med Anderson i årevis, men han slog op med mig. Jeg prøvede alt, hvad jeg kunne, for at få ham tilbage, men det var forgæves. Jeg ville virkelig have ham tilbage på grund af den kærlighed, jeg har til ham. Jeg tryglede ham om alt, gav løfter, men han nægtede. Jeg forklarede mit problem til min veninde, og hun foreslog, at jeg kontaktede en trylleformular, der kunne hjælpe mig med at kaste en trylleformular for at bringe ham tilbage. Selvom jeg aldrig troede på trylleformularer, havde jeg intet andet valg end at prøve det. Så jeg sendte en e-mail til trylleformularen, og han forsikrede mig om, at alt ville være fint om tre dage, og at min eks ville komme tilbage til mig. Overraskende nok skete det på andendagen omkring klokken 16. Min eks ringede til mig, undskyldte for alt og sagde, at han ville have mig tilbage, fordi han elskede mig så højt. Jeg var så glad og gik tilbage til ham. Vi begyndte at leve lykkeligt sammen igen. Jeg lovede alle, jeg kender, der har et parforholdsproblem, at jeg ville henvise dem til den ene sande og magtfulde trylleformular, der hjalp mig med mit problem. Hvis du har brug for hans hjælp, kan du sende ham en e-mail på babawalewiseman01@gmail.com. Han tilbyder forskellige typer trylleformularer, herunder kærlighedstrylleformularer, trylleformularer om tabt kærlighed, skilsmissetrylleformularer, ægteskabstrylleformularer, bindende trylleformularer, brydende trylleformularer, forvisning af en elsket fra fortiden, trylleformularer om forfremmelse i arbejdet, tilfredsstillelsestrylleformularer og kur mod enhver sygdom, du lider af. Kontakt ham for en varig løsning på ethvert problem, du måtte have. via babawalewiseman01@gmail.com WhatsApp +16452205737 viber: +18594463868

I love the hat. I wish we got some snow.
Happy Birthday to Jordan. It sure is great when you have your kiddos in touch with you. I honestly can not imagine all the work that goes in to preparing for Winter in your area.
A dear Aunt of mine was well known for telling all younger members of the family that once you hit 40 it was downhill all the way ... bless her ... she was in her 80's when she died.
The older I get I just do the best I can to make the most of everyday :)
All the best Jan
Winter has definitely arrived there. I feel myself slowing down a little every day. Growing old isn't for sissies!
