There is so much to be thankful for as we come into the Thanksgiving time..and for sure today was one of those days where I can say this. We were on our way out for a walk when I noticed the big x's on the trees lining the walk-through near, in fact, beside our property. Although 6 or 7 of the x'd trees were on the property next door, and only one was on our property, those x's mean they will be cut down by the city. I can understand why, it's because the roots have grown under the walkway causing big lumps and obviously this can cause people to trip, fall, and then hey maybe sue the city...So the tree's have to go. But these trees give us so much pleasure as we sit in the sunroom - or in the kitchen, right now the colours are becoming spectacular.. Well I was feeling so sad, and really put out as the city had promised when they changed the zoning law that we would have 40 feet of trees beside us, instead we have houses and thankfully some trees between, this will change for sure. So as we went on our walk I was grumbling all the way.
Then as we were going along the walking path, the sweetest little dog ran away from her owner and came rushing over to us..well after petting hrt and getting her name (Winnie), we got to talking with her owner, and the grumbling by me changed to a really happy purr...as the girl (Andree) who owns the dog is a qualified worker with Alzheimer people, works at the Champlain and is happy to do extra work on weekends. Now this is not too important at this time, as we do have a great caregiver that comes every Tuesday, but it is always a good idea to have back-ups. This we learned at our support group yesterday, and so here it is right the next day...and we have a back up if necessary. So being in a much better mood, i was able to write a letter to the city asking if they could preserve our privacy by putting trees or perhaps just bushes as a barrier right on our property by the fence, so that we can still enjoy...we'll see what happens and if they can't or won't I guess we will, so all's well in that department. But Mac hearing all my groans and moans, kept saying what will happen next..and so he was happy too.
And so the day and evening went well, and then as Mac went to our room for a hanky, he said again now what happens, who will come tonight - where do we sleep, who takes the cat..and what happens next. Well what happens next is we will feed the cat, put the cat to bed, and do our nightly routine of washing and brushing our teeth, and then we go to bed. Mac says where do you sleep...well i said, with you, 'oh yes'?, yes i replied... Where what room...so after showing him the room, he seems happy but I think it's time to join him, so he knows he's not just sleeping with anyone, he's sleeping with ME...g'nite.
