November 1 2019

Using a loose definition of what a writer actually is.... I have writer's block.

Have a good day

๐ŸŽผYour Sunday celebration is already bringing cheer to a ‘dreich’ November day here in Scotland☔️. For us, thoughts of you are always bright๐Ÿ”ฅ and beautiful๐ŸŒธ.

We are taking it upon ourselves to share this special day with you across the miles๐ŸŒ. We think it’s kind of nice that you even get an extra hour for celebrating this particular birthday⏰. The custom of turning our clocks back may eventually be scrapped but, for now, you are the beneficiary of that wee bit more time to spend as you wish on your fifty-third birthday๐ŸŽ‚.

๐Ÿ”ฎMay this be a day of which you can say, “It’s perfect in every way!’.๐ŸŽˆ Cheers!๐Ÿท๐Ÿท

Dear Loved,

Talk about writer's block. I guess I had it all of October.
To answer your October "Don't you just love it when...." question.
Yes I do love it when people ask how many.... I can't telly you how many times I have had that experience. It happened again just the other day when I was out to lunch ...oops I meant out AT lunch. And I got an amazing reaction because it was from a woman who had no sisters. She had 4 brothers and every time one was born she would be sure it would be a girl.

Like Christine, I am sure your writer's block will pass and once again we will be laughing at your Antonini antics and misadventures. Till then,
Your better-late-than never sister,

BJ, with love

Mary Ellen said...


It's hard to believe it has been 12 years. Mom was an amazing woman in so many ways. I think of her often.
Thanks for the roses in memory of her, Louise. They were for sure her favourite flower.

♥️♥️♥️


Christine said...

It is very hard to believe it's been 12 years. I imagined those roses were red but then I remember when Mom was so delighted to receive yellow roses when she visited Port Alice once. Does my memory serve me right? Thanks, Louise!

Hey BJ - great to hear from you! You make me laugh! "out to lunch ...." haha

Louise and David said...

Good memory, Christine!๐Ÿ”ฅ
Yes, Dave gave Mom a few yellow roses from a bush in our front yard in Port Alice๐Ÿ’. She was so pleased that he gave her yellow roses whenever he had the opportunity to do so.๐ŸŽ Eventually he planted a yellow rose bush here in our St. Andrews Garden๐Ÿ . Every year those flowers remind us of Mom and they make us smile๐Ÿ’‘. Mom always had a way of doing that, too.๐Ÿคน‍♂️

๐Ÿ’•Louise

BJ said...

What a lovely thing for Dave to do. Now whenever I see a yellow rose I will always think of Mom. Thanks for reminding us that it is 12 years, Lucy.
BJ

Louise and David said...


๐Ÿ’Well, isn’t that a nice association, BJ. Now you’ll probably take even more notice of yellow roses because of Dave’s story about Mom๐Ÿ’›. That’s the way I also react to stray coins on the streets where I go walking๐Ÿ’ฐ... “pennies from heaven’.๐ŸŽ

๐Ÿ—“Two years ago today, on November 22, 2017, the inaugural Tricia Antonini Award๐Ÿ“œ was presented at the Tom Baker Cancer Center in Calgary, Alberta๐ŸŒŽ. The Volutnteer of the Year Award, named in honour of Tricia๐Ÿ™Ž๐Ÿป‍♀️, is given to a person who has created an environment of hope for patients undergoing bone marrow transplants๐Ÿ”ฅ.

๐Ÿฅ‡Tricia herself was there to present the first award to Elaine Moses๐Ÿ . The following September the recipient was Dr. Ashan Chaudry๐Ÿ’‰. We wonder who is being recognized this year๐Ÿ’š. Whoever it is, it will be a person who has provided “more moments” to people like Tricia who firmly believed that “Life is not about a time line; it’s about potency”.๐ŸŽจ

๐ŸทThis anniversary day calls for a toast to LIFE in honour of Tricia who was truly able to say, “My story isn’t about cancer. It’s about life and the moments that matter to me.”๐Ÿ—ฝ
