My Birthday

8/24/2014

PictureThe porch was painted with mistints from the Rona store. I mixed three cans of whites with one purple and it still was very purple. The green was another mistint and the trim around the doors and windows is now cranberry coloured. Once the porch attributes are back in , and the curtains are hung, it will be just fine. These are not the colours I would have selected, but hey, at ten dollars a gallon versus fifty for regular, the mistints worked just fine. The kids put the heavy furniture pieces back in the porch today. Yay!!!!
August 22nd was my 60th birthday and my daughter drove out from Vancouver to be here to celebrate it with me. Some local friends came by too and although one was called to work, the rest of us had a good meal and pleasant company. Then the next day, my youngest son and his partner drove up from Calgary, where they have recently moved, and the three kids (the middle son is living here at this time) and I had a great day together. I cannot believe how much they got done! They put some eves up, some door handles on, finally moved the furniture back to the porch so I can start to have my house back (it was moved from the porch into the house giving me barely a trail to move around through). They cleaned up the outside porch a bit and best of all, they did the chores for me so I could go out to a special dinner with a friend tonight, the day after my birthday. For me there could be no better gift than the presence of my children and no finer present than their willing help. 

The girls have been wonderful at keeping the kitchen tidy and they even welcomed tonight's guest at the Moose Hills Inn and saw to his comfort while I was out to dinner. I always think I can do everything myself and do not like to ask for help often, but I realize how great it can be to have assistance, especially willing assistance from those I love so much. 

My son's partner has grown quite fond of the The Fat Ewe Farm and is very much considering making a corner of the farm her home, though my son is not thrilled with the lack of stimulating activities in the area. I did offer ten acres for each of the kids if they paid for the subdivision. Wouldn't it be so wonderful if we were close enough to each other to help when needed? When they have their children, I could babysit and help out and from time to time, they could give me a little break on the farm. It may be wishful thinking on my part to have the kids around me, but I can dream. 

In the meantime, I am grateful to have them here at all and I love each one so much. I could not have better young adults. They have grown into people I am so very proud of and love beyond words. I am so blessed.
