Well, some people seem to think I need to have a blog, think I may have something interesting to say. I'm not too sure about that. I do have my opinions, do have my moments when I think I may be a bit smart, lol. My daughter has a blog, my daughter-in-law, my sister, and now, I guess, me.
I do have one proud, crowning achievement - my beautiful grandchildren. Nothing can make me any happier than hearing about them, what they are involved in (singing, swimming, hockey, skating), what they are saying, what they are learning (climbing stairs at 10 months).
I was very happily married to a wonderful man. I still miss him terribly. Our great plan for retirement was to travel. Well, I have taken several trips south to honour this plan. And I plan to take more some day. My next trip will be to Australia where my oldest son lives. Has to be done in the next 3 years. I'm saving my toonies.
My opinion on the news this week - Those unfortunate young men in Alberta pleading guilty in the killings of the 4 Mounties. I watched First Estate last night, they interviewed one of them. My honest opinion is that they really didn't know what the lunatic was going to do. In other news - Penny Boudreau confessing to killing her 12 year old daughter. This is a good time to bring up the Death Penalty subject. Oh, and someone take that cross away from her. She has no more religion in her than she had feeling for her daughter when she strangled her. Her wearing a cross is a slap in the face to people who celebrate religion.
Anyway, that is enough for my first blog. I will try to do better next time.
