“You don’t paint what you see, you paint what you feel”

Porte Ponderings:
Some days you remember with such clarity as they are imprinted on your heart forever. The day my mother died is one of those days. One moment I was chatting with her on the phone and it seems like the next I was at the Doctor’s for my final pre-natal check and he was telling me my Mother had died. Of course I didn’t believe it. Harold came to pick me up and take me to Dad’s where I had to put on my big girl panties and help with funeral arrangements. Everyday since I’ve remembered my mother’s life. The joy she brought with just her smile. There will always be a small part of me missing.

The day after the Canadian Federal Election some are celebrating International Dance Day, while others are stepping down gracefully, and still others are hanging on to their positions even though the best thing would be for them to step down.

If you don’t like the weather wait a moment it’ll change. Sun, rain, snow all predicted for this week in Southwestern Ontario.
I always thought today was International Window Washing Day, but apparently it’s National Beer Day.
I think I’ll just go for a walk, take some pictures, have chili and leftover birthday cake for supper.
My sisters took me out for lunch on different days ❤
My family was so wonderful to show up yesterday with presents and well wishes for another birthday. They bought pizza and made an amazing cake. Thank you ❤

How sad that the second polio shots aren’t available to people living in Gaza. They’ve lost everything and now will be watching their children suffer with polio because the required second shot isn’t available 😦
