I moved to East Texas over 15 years ago but my Canadian roots are still pretty obvious. Yonge Street is the main, very long, north-south street in Toronto, Ontario, Canada: my hometown. Hubby (born in Illinois) and I met at www.widownet.org. We love our life and feel we have been truly blessed. Texas is as BIG as you have heard and is a wonderful place with lots of friendly, outgoing people! Hope you enjoy my blog which is usually pretty upbeat.

A Day For Remembering . . .
Today is a time for remembering how precious time with friends really is. This picture was taken at The Pickle Barrel in Toronto in July, 2007. Hubby and I came off the highway to meet my "old friend" Belinda and her husband, D'Arcy, who took this casual shot of us. Even if you just pick up the phone; even if you just have a few minutes, take time to talk to your friends. Take time to give them a hug. Life is fragile and we must never take it for granted.
Today, it is four years since her death, yet I think of Belinda every day. She made me laugh: she worried about me . . . and many others. She stopped in to see people who needed a smile and she loved animals like no one else.
My guardian angel, you are going to have another grandson very soon. We pray he will be healthy; we know he will be handsome and I think he just might have a little dimple in his chin!
May everyone have such a friend in their lifetime!
