Well, hello, all and Season's Greetings to you! Merry Christmas seems trite now, since it is already the 27th, so I will say hope you had a very Merry Christmas this year and I look forward to a Happy New Year for everyone. I realize and apologize for not being diligent in keeping up my blog this year, but I would like to try to keep things going in the coming year. Perhaps not every day, perhaps once or twice a week or even a month, but at least something a little more timely. Again, forgive me, and I hope that you will join me this year, when you have time. And please feel free to send me comments; I love to hear from everyone!
Yes, it is the end of an era! At least in this house. The 4:00 am alarms and nightly lunch preparations are over. PJ has officially retired. It has been a long time coming and several dates were bandied about before the Company would finally let him go. The original date was the end of October, but that was pushed back to accommodate the closing of his building at the end of November / beginning of December. That date was then pushed back as the Company was making early retirement package offers to many of the old timers (due to the contract expiration of a very large and long term client causing a considerable lay off for the newer employees) and had come to an agreement of January 15. Since PJ had holidays owed to him, his official retirement date will be January 5th. That is the day that he is supposed to sign his life away for the final time. (A friend joked that he should take a body guard with him just in case they were going to kidnap him until another "pushed back" date in the future.) And so, my friends, it has been almost 40 years that he has been a working stiff. Now you must know what that means. How is he going to keep himself occupied through these endless carefree days and months? Funny, you should ask. He already has a list in his head that he has shared with me on many occasions, editing and reconfiguring it over and over. I know that volunteering some time at our church is important to him and there is always something to be done in the maintenance of the buildings and property. I also have him on record committing to painting several rooms in our house; a job he detests but has promised to do. He also wants to do some finishing in the basement to create a nice play area for the grandchildren when they come to visit and fixing up Tee's space - his bedroom is in the basement and he would also like an adjoining work / office area for his new endeavours (to be elaborated upon in an upcoming entry. Haha, stay tuned!). He is also talking about going to a gym periodically (again, another upcoming entry). The summer will be filled with BBQs and friends visiting and pool time, hopefully, as well as gardening and general upkeep of the property. But winter is another story. I can only hope that Mother Nature is not too harsh to us this January and February and that by March he will have lots of preparations to keep him occupied for the coming summer. Some of his work mates are also retiring so there will likely be a cronies date periodically so they can all get together and chirp about how happy they are not to be working for the Company anymore. LOL And PJ's work wife, the beautiful Momo and her man, John have invited us to their new digs on the waterfront in Fort Erie - can't wait to see them and the new place.
All in all, it will defo be a change for all of us. I have already told him that he needn't be hanging around the house all day. After all, I have my "routines", and I don't need PJ staring at me with boredom in his eyes. Hahaha So I will make sure to let you all know how things are progressing, but in the mean time there is so many other things to talk about, so stop in now and then. I would love to hear from you.
With love from Lulu, xxxx

Catching Up
Hi again, everyone; I have been absent for a while and have only recently felt the urge to start writing again. Since posting last summer, we have had many events in our lives.
PJ decided not to retire but to continue working. We talked about it for a very long time and he is just not ready to leave a job he has had for almost 40 years. Sadly, his most recent building closed unexpectedly so he has had to move to another building. The management have been less than honourable about the move and have given PJ a lot of grief about where he can move to (the company has several buildings but not all of them are under the union, which PJ is a member of) and what position. It has been very stressful and he decided to see the doc about taking some time off. The doc agreed and he will be out til at least the beginning of May. This is the best thing for him right now because I think it will give him a breather and a chance to decide what to do next. He has never had a lot of time off to just relax and has been consumed with work, especially the last few years that he was running the last building. He has always felt a sense of pride in doing a good job for the company and was truly a workaholic so this leave will slow him down a little - something he needs right now!
Tee was laid off his job in construction in January and was jobless for a while. He becomes frustrated when not working plus the fact that he has bills to pay, so needless to say, I was happy when he landed a new job. PJ has friends everywhere and was talking to one recently who has a trucking business. He asked how things were going to which his friend replied, "I'm in need of a dispatcher." PJ told him that Tee was out of work but had never done dispatching. After assuring his friend that there were no expectations in hiring Tee, his friend invited Tee for an interview. All went well and he is now learning as he goes. It is a very small family run company and apparently the boss is a bit of a blustery wind that blows through and the missus has to sweep up afterward. Fortunately for Tee, the missus likes him and keeps the boss at bay. LOL We are all hoping that this is a real career maker for Tee; he has had so many jobs in the past and PJ and I want to see him land somewhere with something that he enjoys doing. So far, so good. Tee likes the people he is working with and he is picking up the job very quickly and the missus is very happy with his work - she, essentially, runs the office. Mr. Bluster just makes the deals and quotes the jobs. So it seems like he is okay for now. Keep your fingers crossed.
The biggest news in the family was with Coco! Big Daddy proposed at her birthday dinner! It was all very sweet and romantic. Big Daddy took her out for dinner and presented a gift that was a locket. But what was inside? A note asking her to marry him! OMG, again, too cute for words. He had the ring as well (although I don't think he did the one knee thing) to make the perfect night. We are all very happy about this as PJ gets a golf partner, Tee gets a brother, I get a handy man and well, Coco gets a husband. Big Daddy also comes as a package deal with a 7 year old daughter and a 5 year old son. So PJ and I also get built in grandkids! I would say we all win. HAHAHAHA

O Canada Day!
It is the Tuesday morning after the long weekend and the house is quiet. PJ and Tee have gone to work and I am getting ready soon to start my day as well. The long Canada Day weekend was glorious. PJ and I invited his brother and his wife and PJ's sister and her husband for the celebration on Sunday afternoon. It was really fun to see them again since we do not get together often. We also were expecting the usual gang of Tee's and Coco's friends that attend our long weekend bonfires throughout the summer. One particular couple were bringing new baby, Cheeky Pie, for the first time. Cheeky Pie is so named due to her enormous cheeks, brilliant blue eyes and constant grin. This kid is happy to sit with anyone, chatter to everyone and giggle and smile at anything that passes her line of sight. She was the star of the day and we so loved having her come see us. She acquired a few new "aunts" and posed for a commemorative pic with her red cowboy hat! Too cute for words.
Prior to the weekend, we were trying to think of something that would kind of bring the group together so I decided to try a Canadiana quiz. I researched a lot of facts about Canada and threw in a few fakes. We got some goofy "prizes" from the dollar store and I am pretty sure everyone went home with something. I will publish a bunch over the next few writings so you can test your Canadian knowledge. Here is the first group:
1) The border between Canada and the U.S. is the longest border between two nations. Is it:
A - 7425 miles
B - 5525 miles or
C - 3752 miles
2) What year was the current Canadian flag adopted by Parliament?
A - 1958
B - 1960 or
C - 1965
3) Canada is the second largest country in the world. What is the first?
4) What year did Newfoundland become a province?
5) True or False - Canadians, on average, live longer than Americans.
6) What is Canada's official sport? (Hint: It's not what you think!)
7) True or False - Basketball was invented by a Canadian.
That is just a sampling for today. Here are the answers:
1 - B, 2 - C, 3 - Russia, 4 - 1949, 5 - T (81 yrs vs. 78 yrs), 6 - Lacrosse, 7 - T
I hope everyone enjoyed themselves. We had a few fireworks after the sun went down and a little bonfire, as per usual. It was a great night for it.
I also wanted to say thanks to Big Daddy for his sweet surprise that night too. Love those dimples; another one who is too cute for words.

Living in the era of TMI
I was somewhat saddened to see a post on Facebook a couple of days ago declaring, "It's a girl!" I was not saddened to see that the new baby is a girl, but that the parents chose to have that info disclosed to them by the scan tech. You see the baby is not born yet, so any excitement of the speculation of blue or pink has been dashed. The couple, T & C, who already have the handsomest little man in town with the sharpest blue eyes I have ever seen, are excited about their new coming arrival. T is one of the bevy of beautiful girls that work with Coco at the daycare and everyone is very happy about the new baby, but I am of the old school that says you wait til the day to find out. With both of my kids, there were tantalizingly long months of speculation, measuring, eyeing, groping and even the spinning wedding ring during my pregnancies and everyone had an opinion. My father dreamt of a blue blanket and was absolutely positive that Coco was to be a boy, although, his "wee Coco" was his pride and joy. My mother waffled between the sexes depending on how I looked any particular day. A friend was positive I was carrying a girl based on the size of my butt and another friend was equally positive it was a boy because I carried low. Two of my cousins, sisters, were also pregnant so it was a high time for the guessers that year. And like I said, everyone had an opinion. I even dreamt that my older cousin was going to deliver on the 14 of February, which was actually my due date - Coco decided not to come til March 5! The funny thing was that my cousin actually delivered on the 14th, but January instead.
When I was pregnant with Tee, the speculators were on a bender again. By this time my dad was gone, but Mom made up for it. She was absolutely sure it was another girl. Even Coco was old enough to enjoy the wait and the suspense of not knowing. She used to sing about "her" baby. I don't recall her having an opinion on whether it would be a boy or a girl, but I know that when he arrived she was thrilled to be the first to see him, bragging that "I saw him before Gran and Daddy! He's HUGE!" Not only was he a boy, but a very big one at that! He also was very content where he was and did not have any intention of stirring from his cozy hibernation, so, after nearly a month of waiting, the doctors decided that we had to go Caesarian. Thank goodness; he was over 10 lbs! I often wonder if that was what set the stage for his great love of his bed to this day, sleeping around the clock if given the opportunity.
Back in my day, the surprise at the end of it all was worth it, but I will say my heartiest congratulations and all my best wishes to my friends, T & C, and I look forward to meeting the little blue eyed boy's new sister!

Butterfly Kisses
I am sure that many of you know this song. It was very popular a few years ago by some country singer (sorry, I'm not a follower). And I am also sure that at least one of you knows (Coco, are you paying attention?) how much I hate that song. I despise it and must change the channel if I hear it on the radio or tv. Now, what you don't know is WHY I hate that song. Every time I hear it, I cry uncontrollably. It makes me think of my little doll when she was younger and how I miss those days. Possibly becuz I wish I knew then what I know now and how I would have done things very differently. I was a working mom from the time she was 4 months old til she was 8, when we moved up here. During that time I also was going to night school at least 1 night a week, often 2, so there were many nights that I missed out saying goodnight. There was also missed opportunities for us to spend real girl time together. Not to say it didn't happen. My mom reaped the benefit of that, spending many Saturdays with Coco, riding the subway, shopping and going out for lunches. They were a great team. When I was studying and PJ was working a Saturday, Coco and Mom would take off for the day. To this day, I really am not sure where all they went! LOL Anyway, I have said all that to say that no mom does it perfectly and even Martha Stewart made mistakes, I am sure. It doesn't really matter if there are nannies and private schools and wealth, or just day to day working parents, everyone can be a star and I believe that every mother has certain regrets about things she would have changed. An older mom once said that she thought she did a good job bringing up her numerous kids "cuz none of them are in jail"! Wow, there's a standard! When the bar is set that low, everyone is a winner.
So, moms, and would-be moms, don't spend any time fretting over what you shoulda or coulda done. Kids are very resilient; they learn what they live and if you do your best to raise them with love and encouragement and guidance and morals, then you've done all you can. I wish I could say that I did that every day but I didn't. I made lots of mistakes that can never be taken back, unfortunately. But my kids still turned out okay, remarkably, some might even say extraordinary. And I love them more than anything else.
But please don't play that song.

Please hold...............
I am not happy. I was just re-routed to another Bell service rep only to be cut off. The first rep took about 35 min to answer then he sent me to another rep which after waiting for about 10 min, clicked off and I got the busy signal. !?@!??!*&?!! BTW, have you heard their insipid "hold" muzak? UGH!
PJ and I are at a cross roads. We both have cell phones; his is a work based, mine is a personal, so we are really having some tough discussions about whether or not to retain our house phone. My cell provides all the same services that the house phone does at a lesser cost and even if he loses his phone (if and when he retires), we can still do a family plan and he will have a personal one attached to my bill.
Here is the dilemma: We have our Internet service and our TV service bundled with the phone service, so does that mean that our bundling discount will be invalidated? And if so, should we consider something else? Or if they reduced our phone service charges to something ridiculously cheap, should we still retain the house phone? OH, it is all just too much for me to think about.
The funny thing is that we never had so many things to consider over the past few years as we seem to have this year! Will PJ retire? Or will they make it too desirable for him to go? Also, our 40th anniversary will be happening on the 3rd of November this year, but he will also be celebrating his 65th bday on the 3rd of December. What to do? A combined celebration somewhere in the middle? Or a tropical beach getaway? Or maybe just a quiet family do? We are also considering a new vehicle - my divine heap is 10 years old now and worth not much more than the paper that the ownership is written on; his is a newer truck that can still fetch a decent trade-in value, so do we trade up? Or just keep it? Like I said, it is just all too much for me right now. I just want to enjoy my summer! Lounging in the pool, planting my garden, hosting BBQ parties, going on our annual shopping excursion to Penn!
The weather is finally becoming summer-like and we have been out on the deck a couple of nights. We have also been enjoying the "boys of summer", my fabulous Blue Jays. One of the most endearing memories I have is the sound of a baseball game on the radio on a hot summer afternoon while my parents were bbqing in the backyard. It is like the onslaught of 60's Beach Boys music that would be filtering out of every car window beginning in July (pre factory-installed air conditioning as a standard option). Ahhh, the good old days. I also cannot pass a rose bush without smelling it to re-live the scent of my mom's gorgeous red rose climbers that surrounded their front door. I think as Canadians, we survived the winter just to be able to experience the wonders of the new summer each year. Those long, lazy summer vacations from school, when we thought that 2 months was more like 2 years; the oh-so-horrendous summer camps that meant being separated from your best friend (or summer love interest) for 2 whole weeks; the relatives that came for the week (or 2) that wanted to visit every tourist trap in Toronto; the week that we got to go to the cottage (a rental - different place every year) and spend the day in the lake and the night swatting mosquitos! I wish we could have really drunk in those days and absorbed every smell and taste but they were fleeting and gone too quickly and there was always "next" summer.

My Recent Absence
I got a scolding from Coco the other day about not posting to my blog and that she has been periodically checking and not seeing any new items, so I thought it best to explain a few things. I also thought it was kind of cute that she was following my posts. Anyway, I have not been in the greatest of moods lately because although I had initially great success at my weight loss project, it has now stalled out and I am, frankly, a little ticked off about the whole thing. I have been very conscious of my food choices over the last 3 months and have been eating the "good" foods in abundance. Yes, we have had an occasional chinese food buffet and 1 or 2 pizzas, but overall, I am eating primarily whole foods, veg and chicken and fish. I am currently, officially, 1 lb. less than when starting, which means that I actually re-gained 7 of the first 8 lbs. lost. Great!#@!!@##!
Now, let's move on to more fun stuff! We had our Annual May 24 Weekend Start the Summer bonfire on Saturday. It was so nice to be able to sit outside and enjoy the evening. Many of T's and Coco's friends came over, which was wonderful. I also was finally privileged to meet Coco's new boy, Big Daddy. He is wonderfully attentive to her and has a quietly sweet way. He also has the most shocking blue eyes that immediately draw your attention. I just have to get him to shave off that beard so I can see the dimples next! LOL
I had a little catch up with Barbie, who has been having some personal problems. Sadly, she has had to deal with some really hard decisions of late and hopefully, things will turn around very soon. I wish nothing but the best to her and her gorgeous family. I also was surprised to find out that one of T's close friends and his gf had moved. Those two are doing great and have a great future ahead of them. Another of T's friends, who calls himself "Moves" (a reference I think, to his dancing skills LOL) serenaded us with his super guitar skills with a guitar provided by his band mate, the "other" T, the one almost as cute as my T. We did have a bit of an emergency when Muffin's friend, Star, tripped and sat on a wine glass. Incredibly, it sliced right through her skirt and created a profusely bleeding gash on her left butt cheek. Coco and Muffin made the decision to send her to emerg for stitches but who could drive her as we had all had more than a few drinks? Thankfully, another friend had not had anything to drink as yet and so whisked Star off for 25+ stitches and staples. :( Poor thing, we heard she was pretty sore yesterday.
PJ was away this weekend with his golf buddy down to Ohio. I was so glad to see him go since he has not been golfing for a couple of years due to a shoulder injury. They had been talking about going for a few years and PJ just could not do it last year, so I am hoping they are enjoying themselves. He is due back today. Now, I just have to figure out how to explain the bloodstains on the step!
