Good morning, bom dia, at the start of another beautiful day. 8 in my world is considered a lucky number. I just happened to have my camera ready when Nick had his back turned. Nick is one of a pair. Mel his beautiful and talented wife was, we soon discovered, watching us from other part of the museum where she was stuck behind a short wall. It was my good fortune that the two decided to take a day trip up to visit. Heck they only live some 11, 12 hours away. Let me tell you they are very special.
I got to see a lot of interesting exhibits as we wandered the museum, but the greatest gift for me was to share time with friends that I have grown to love. They bring such caring and open sharing when they are visiting. Every visit is like a homecoming. The laughter is genuine, such friendships are treasured.
Possessions can be acquired, They can be enjoyed and cared for, but having good friends, and time spent in warm, comforting camaraderie. That is a blessing. It was a wonderful visit, I thank them both.
PL calendar day 7 Don’t strain, don’t rush, and don’t be greedy
When you are doing something, you may rush things to get good results quickly. Instead, relax and enjoy he process.
I can only imagine how as the friendship grows, we will appreciate even more our differences, and our sameness.
One of life’s lessons, to be practiced and lived – appreciate differences, everyone is unique, share with an open heart.

science and technology, Ottawa, On. Canada
I travel far and near to find a tree, usually when I do find one that will chat with me, he lives with cousins near by who are also willing to spin a yarn or two.
Oh goodness me child, how nice of you to stop and visit. We can wait from dawn to dusk to be noticed, but find, we are old, and worn, so no one stops to visit anymore. They come with their dogs and walk right by, they head for open spaces.
Freddy down the way, will be glad of some company, he gets few tenants these days, not even the dogs that come this way, use us anymore to mark their way.
Down the bend, to the right, you will see a path beside Uncle John. The leaves are crisp you will enjoy the sound as they say thank you for your trust in accepting their guidance as you walk the unknown path.
Please come again, your shadow is growing taller, In a few months when you come again, we will be able to show you much more of our world. Then we will see your shadow in the snow. till then, your shadow imprint, will remain for a while, leaving us smiling, because you shared with us.
Just me and my shadow, enjoying the morning sun. There are a lot of roads out there, this one I will visit again. I enjoy and appreciate visiting with Nature. It is pure, it is real.

PL Calendar day 3 Use the power of your smile
A smile has the power to help people feel at ease, cheer them up, and at times, give them courage. Smile and spread your warm-hearted energy to the people around you.
Often we forget, just how easy it is to leave our smile at home. Start your day with a prayer and smile, makes the balance of the day worthwhile.

Bom Dia, Good Morning, For those of you who do not live in the area, the 417 is the highway that takes one from Ottawa, to Montreal. It is a divided highway, two lanes going east, and two lanes going west . The landscape between here and Montreal yesterday was beyond spectacular.
The weather forecast was rain and more rain. Ottawa was predicted to have heavy rains most of the day. Montreal less so. When we left, we were not expecting a great sun-filled or colourful day. There was no sun, not even a glimmer or hint of sun. BUT the colours were out of this world. Brilliant, rich, full of drama, it was often gasping wow moments. It truly was mesmerizing, I couldn’t get enough of it. Never have I been so enthralled with a rainy, misty foggy day.
My co-pilot was just as blown away as I was, our conversations were constantly being interrupted with our reaction to the scenery we were driving through. Sorry no pictures it was raining too hard, this is an extremely busy, highway. Suffice to say, it was often surreal. The rain was so heavy that it drenched the barks of the trees, so that they stood out, like inked ebony sculptures dripping with leaves of wet glistening golds, and often fiery burnished copper would stand out majestically against a stand of evergreens.
We don’t go out expecting to be presented with endless miles of Natural wonders…. but when it happens, friends, you feel truly blessed. The ride home was foggy and we had the rush hour traffic for part of it, but the ride to our destination, was gift. A picture would not do it justice, we had to live it. Live it we did. What a day, it was glorious, yeah, really… that great. Neither one of us expected such a 3D high-definition all out mind-blowing show…but the heavens provided and we reaped the rewards.
Life can be exhausting, but it can also be simply divine, when you least expect it to.

Norm and fellow door chasers, there is a door in one of these pictures, with activity happening in the room beyond, You can see through the windows.. Actually there is more than one ..
Till next time… you are loved!!!!
chicken wings how many wings will determine the amount of cranberries you use
fresh cranberries I used half a cup for about a pound of wings
half cup of honey garlic sauce I prefer the strong garlic, but medium and mild is sold
pink Himalayan salt to taste
simmer in a pot with about an inch of water, wine if you prefer
keep heat low, let it simmer covered till meat is falling off the bones
Serve on rice or noodles.
If you are not a person who enjoys the delight of sucking tender meat off the bones, this is not a dish for you.
next time I think I will add a black Japanese pepper to add to the sweet and tart of the dish.
Side dish is always mounds of a fresh veggies, steamed and served still on the crisp side.
Enjoy
Bom dia, greetings … hope you are heading off to have a super fab week-end.
Church Sunday 21st will be the Thanksgiving Ceremony, morning 10 and evening at 7

A gateway to a new experience
When we were younger, the new experiences were self-generated and often kept us busy for hours, the doors were special, giving us access to … happily ever after.
Big, small, old, new, a door, doorway is a different to each and every one of us. But boy oh boy, they still hold a fascination, keep us wanting more.
PL Calendar day 18 Look Forward to What’s ahead
There is no use brooding over the past. Always try to begin each day anew with a fresh outlook.

Bom dia, good morning
Lego, Lego, it has been around for years. I never played with it in years gone by, and had no intentions of playing with Lego now. One should never say never. Lately I have been introduced to the many “wonders” of the Lego world of activities, I thought for the younger generation, however, I have since learned that Lego is played with by the young and old, and that collectors are hugely abundant.
In my travels I came across this set. #75951 Fantastic Beasts. I thought to give it a try. It was not in the cards. My fingers lacked the coordination and my aging gray matter rebelled unkindly to my intentions. A friends grandson, I was told was a super whiz at building Lego, and that my little 100 some blocks would be sneeze. His accomplishments are in sets that have thousands of pieces. I shudder at the thought, what patience he must have. I surrendered my little horse and carriage.
And look dear friends, I have it back and it is a beauty. I am thrilled. The young man is now my Lego hero my knight in shining armor. I will never think of Lego in the same way again. btw notice that the heroes are younger now.. or is it I am getting older.
PL calendar day 14 Be a Person who invites happiness
Live your life with good timing and respond quickly to whatever appears in front of you. By doing so, things will keep getting better and better.
Life is continually bringing a lot of happiness and love into my world. I feel such gratitude and appreciation for my friends, each and every one of you.
