Sunday night I was called to the big house for a few minutes and when I got to the light in East I noticed a couple of young fellows on their scooters...I thought it must be cold for them as I passed them by.... but by the time I got to the red light at the mill they were on my butt... they continue to follow me up south and at the church the little buggers passed me on a solid light with a car coming only to turn in just before the school...I was going the speed limited I don't usually venture much over it after dark... it happened to be a place where I knew the people... as I continued up to mom's my thoughts were do I or don't I call this person to let them know how their child was disregarding the laws of the road.... would I want to know if it was one of my boys... when I got to the house I decided that I would want to know and called Lynn... only to find out that it was not her son but friends of her son's.... but she gave me the name of the parents saying the same thing they would want to know... it is always easier when you know the people for some reason... but I took the time and called the parents... I told them who I was, how I got her name and why I was calling adding that as a parent I would like to know that my child was not driving properly on the road... she was nice, police and thanked me for the call... as I hung up I had a funny feeling the boys would be walking for a while in the near future...
Monday was kind of a lazy day here... starting with the posting of the rest of the photos from Thanksgiving dinner at Yvette's then a load of clothes...it is totally amazing how much one person can dirty in a few days... I took a few hours out of my day to go visit Carl's parents with no puppies... sorry Carl.... maybe this week .... then to pick up a few things at Jean Coutu, picked up a couple of girlie movies... one of the benefits of being alone you get to watch what you want he he... ... and of course I needed to stop at mom and dad... that is like the law around here...home again in less then 3 hours that is a record for me.... watched the movies... and made another 2 doilies... the others were already given out... to Pat... making another set for the next person on my list...
The one thing that has been on my mind this weekend and I have not come to a final decision yet is the hall...yes I still have not picked a color for it.... I think it is because of the border that I have around it that is stopping me... I still have not found a replacement for it... it is of teddy bears which I love so very much and said that I wouldn't paint the hall until I got another one but I have not found anything yet in this town... I love my teddy bears... what can I say... maybe I will take a look in Moncton and see if it is there... and the next trip out I will get it done... Carl thinks I am too slow with my painting... I probably am but I like to take my time...
I also started cleaning around the house starting with the bedroom... it is not really dirty but there is so much stuff hanging around...I thought of putting everything away but then I knew that most of it would have to be taken out again later so I spent a good part of the morning... working on the rest of the calendars... getting envelopes addressed for our Christmas cards... though I still need a few of them... and you know who you are.... hint hint... so by the time I got to bed... the room was picked up ... my computer desk actually can be seen... and the rest of the room was cleaned and washed down... and Mr. Teddy Bear is back in the corner on his chair...
Today is voting day which I stuffed the sheet in my purse the first thing I got up so I wouldn't forget to do... a trip to the hospital with mom for test and a trip to the grocery store for something to eat... while I have been alone I have been picking up by day what I want to eat and not thinking about the holiday it was slim picking around here yesterday though I could have went up to mom and dad's last night for more turkey if I wanted to... LOL... they believe that Yvette gave them 1/2 the bird on Sunday to take home... I bet I know what is for lunch today lol... turkey sandwiches...
Well I am off to get some things done so have a great Tuesday all!!!! Joanne
