 I just don't know what to say. There's been a great disturbance in the force.

 I haven't thought of anything to say and I'm afraid if I don't post now I'll forget all about it. You know how the saying goes, " My memory is really good...it's just really short". They also say it gets worse as you get older. I have noticed lately that the only time I can remember what I had for lunch is when I'm eating it.  Have a good day.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2023

 There we go, I'll borrow a line form Mr. Chapin. "The years keep rolling by". All the best to everybody for 2023.

I'm a little late but before the day is over. I'm hoping to make it to the end of the year without further problems. We will be getting together here in Regina for a Christmas party. So, besides Christmas itself there's a couple other events to look forward to. Hope the season is good to everyone.

November 2022

 Happy November. We are running out of year with over 300 days behind us. Last night was an interesting night of ghouls, goblins, witches, princesses, dinosaurs, skeletons, animals and ones I'm not sure of. We had 125 bars but we only had 28 people come to the door. The most we ever had was 42 so I started giving 2 bars per visitor, by the end of the night I was giving 4 per visit, I still have 60 bars left. I'm a bit of a chocoholic but it will take me 2 days to eat all those. Our neighbor across the street pulled a first ever on us when she came to the door with a treat for us, two pieces of a pumpkin chocolate swirl cake. She called it a reverse Halloween. It was new to us, I had eaten too many bars to have it last night, I'll have it for breakfast today. I'm on my way to walk with Heather.

October 4, 2022

 Whoa! Nelly Bell. That's the phrase that seems appropriate to slow down life in order for me to get an October entry on the blog. The brain is a funny thing, When I thought of "Whoa! Nelly Bell" I thought, that's from a long time ago, like, a real long time ago. It was the name Roy Roger's buddy called his jeep. Then I thought, Dale Evans was Roy's girlfriend, Bullet was the name of his dog, he had a fancy saddle on his horse "Trigger". Then my mind thought of The Lone Ranger because he also named his horse, it was Silver, he didn't say "giddy up', he'd say "Hi ho Silver away" then somebody would say "who was that masked man?" Lone had a first nations friend named Tonto, the show was kind of ahead of it's time with a cowboy and first nations person as friends, the actor who played Tonto, Jay Silverheels was a first nations person. Then I thought of Bob Dylan, it's 6 am, I coming out of night brain. Dylan had a verse in a song:

The Lone Ranger and Tonto

were riding down the line

fixing everybody's troubles

everybody's except mine

someone must of told them

I was doin' fine

Like I said the brain is a funny thing when it comes to remembering, but it didn't remember to put in a blog entry on October first, I'm embarrassed.

P.S. I don't know when I would have remembered had I not received a notice someone in the U.K. was blocked when trying to access my account. I had given Louise my password to access the blog in case the Grim Reaper caught up to me on one of my walks. I guess Google was trying to look out for me. 

September 1 2022

 I don't have anything to say so I'll put up this song, I can't remember if I did it before, so apologies if I did.

I dreamt I saw my dad, he said "hello son"

I said, "I've walked a million steps without 

my laces coming undone"

He said, "how many?" in his special way

I said, "I passed fifty million just the other day."

I visited my mom, she was on her knees

She said, " Edward would you help me say my rosary please?"

I said, " I've got the time mom, we can get it done"

She started with the Joyful Mystery number one.

When I'm with my sisters I learn as much as I can

The things I've learned from them make me a better man,

They've made their mark from place to place throughout the years

And when we get together it brings my heart to tears.

My brothers are my heroes though they may not know

I don't brag about them so it doesn't show

When we get together we have so much fun

I have so much love for each and every one.

There is so much love in this heart of mine

This much love can make a dull day shine

So much love and so much to share

It can drive the darkness out of anywhere

Loved
