I woke up early this morning, very early actually. My computer was flashing a blue light indicating it was on standby. It was then I realized it was Feb 1st and I hadn't even thought of an entry for the blog. I was going to go back to bed and get a few more hours sleep but when I laid down I stepped into a courtroom in which my own mind became the judge and jury of a lifetime of decisions. I am an incompetent lawyer in my own defense so it was better to step out of the courtroom and into the day.
A few days ago Deanie and I attended the funeral of one of her cousins, he was 86, a farmer around the town of Bethune. That's where the funeral was. A lot of her relatives were there, two of which were Linda and Ken Eberts. They grew up on 11 block Garnet, just a few houses from us, if Deanie and I never played together on her many visits at her cousins ,we were at least in shouting distance of each other many years before we met. Linda and Ken, who was a good friend of Tony's, hadn't heard about Mary Ellen so when they asked about her I had to inform them. They both stated how much they liked Mary Ellen, who was a good friend of their sister Pat, and Linda remembers Mary Ellen walking her to school. It was a nice tribute to Mary Ellen. I miss her.

I think that "stepping out of the courtroom and into the day" is just brilliant, Ed!
Ron used to deliver dairy to 5th Ave Tearoom when he was a teenager. So, perhaps we crossed paths years before we met, too. I am always happy to be reminded of Mary Ellen and it really does always seem to be about her being loving. Please give my condolences to Deanie and family on the loss of her cousin.
Check out the time on my last reply!!
๐ฒWow, Christine, your timing was a perfect follow-up to Edward’s story about his chance meeting with Mary Ellen’s childhood friends๐ญ. So many of our memories are tied to our family home on Garnet Street๐ก.
Like you, I appreciate the brilliance of of Ed’s comment about “stepping out of the courtroom and into the day”๐. It reminded me of the first time Mary Ellen and I talked about having “night brain”๐ต๐ซ and finding ourselves “behind enemy lines”.๐งจ (She gave Bob the credit for that one.๐) Having those self-critical experiences is one thing๐คฆ♀️; being able to describe them so cleverly is, indeed, brilliant๐.
Makes me wish I had thought of that!๐คท♀️

A year ago today, Mary Ellen died. Her memorial plaque in Calgary’s Prairie Sky Cemetery reads: “There are in the end three things that last: Faith, Hope and Love. And the greatest of these is Love.” ❤️ When I turned over the page on my desk calendar this morning, the caption on the picture said: “Love one another”. It is like Mary Ellen herself was reminding me that LOVE is life’s unifying force. We miss her joyful, loving presence in our lives.๐
