Weekly Musings of the 11th and Come From Away

 

Yes, I am remembering September 11th and all the lives lost with sadness but also all the amazing stories of help that happened.  So, I am listening to the soundtrack of Come From Away.  Which is the story of when so many planes were rerouted to a small airport in a the small place of Gander, Newfoundland.  

Below I will put a link to the trailer that is on YouTube, although I am sure you can find clips, shows and the full music soundtrack on all kinds of streaming services.

Just like I have music for nearly every special occasion and songs that take me right to a special moment in my life, this album brings me back to September 11th.  

So, the week was the week starting of course with Labour Day and also the week we gave the carpets another wash as next week company will be here when we celebrate hubby's 80th.  We are keeping it a small gathering as he didn't want a big fuss and that is good with me too as I am not a big fuss kind of person either.  Anyway the carpets are nearly done for this month.

I just love the morning clouds on my walks, some I just can't help but take a picture.  This was yesterday.

We went off to visit a friend yesterday afternoon as well and it was so good to catch up with her.  She keeps the crosswords from her paper for hubby and had quite a collection since the last time we got to visit.  It was lovely enough outside to sit and chat and watch neighbours go by.  Hope we get a chance to visit again sooner rather than later.  

So, that was our week really, not a lot going on and mostly usual stuff but the kind that makes you appreciate the quiet day to day. 

   Have a good one

 

Weekly Musings of the 26th

 

I don't care if the media goes on and on about how wonderful soccer is, I find it boring and the players over dramatic.  I mean come on, you fell down, get up and stop pretending that you are deathly injured.  

Anyway, after clearing out all my photos and making sure all of them are labeled with names (lesson learned from grandparents and parents who didn't put names on any photos) I was looking at my Pinterest account.  How on earth did I manage to make over 20 board (some kind of the same) with nearly 10,000 pins saved, which since there are so many I no longer look through.  Time to get clearing that out.  

 As I looked through and thought about it, I do use Pinterest nearly every day for different things but I always do a search on the homepage.  I rarely look in the folders that I already have so why on earth am I keeping them all there.  

By the time I am through there will be a lot less saved on various boards.  Less boards too ;)  

Anyway, this week has been some reading, some gaming and some purging with some errands including getting my hair trimmed once more.  Hubby has a summer cold so that kept things pretty quiet.

Hope you had a lovely week.  This weekend we are celebrating 13 years since I retired and we moved to Simcoe.  

I made this collection a year after we moved in and one more three years later and those of you who have kept up with the blog know that through purges and other things the place has changed completely again since this last video 

 Have a lovely weekend and week ahead and see you in July :D
