Quando quando quando
It's so lovely outside today. Sunny and crisp and spring-ish. Most of the snow has melted away and I can actually see grass again! I'm loving this weather. The other day, every time I went outside I felt like a kid again. It was one of those days that made me think of being younger and playing outside until after supper because it was still light out. Mom would call us to come in and get a bath and we'd say "Just a few more minutes Mom. It's not dark yet!"

I'm off now for Easter and since Friday I feel so productive. I've caught up on my laundry (I did 3 loads), I cleaned and tidied my bedroom, and I haven't been sleeping in! I actually get up by 10! That's fairly early for me!! :)

I brought Rory and Nolan some Easter treats the other day. I love giving treats to Rory. He's so sweet about it. He gets a cute surprised look on his face and says, "Is that for me?"...he does it everytime. No matter what you give him. I love him to pieces.

I think that's it from me for now. Take care of yourselves. Talk soon. Ta ta for now.

*tell me when will you be mine. tell me quando quando quando*

Life is Fleeting
I wonder what is wrong with the world? Or, more to the point, what is wrong with the people in it? The news these days is so incredibly sad. It seems to me that there is no safe place on earth to be. We go to bed with thoughts of seeing the morning sky and the faces of the people we love, and we are damn lucky when we wake up to face another day.

Compared to all the problems in the world we have nothing to complain about. We have our health, and more importantly we have our lives. The people in law enforcement deserve all the admiration and respect we can muster. What they do every day is amazing. Knowing that each day they go to work they are possibly facing absolute danger. Their bravery is to be emulated.

My heart breaks for those four RCMP officers and now the judge in Atlanta who was murdered today. I can't imagine how their families must feel. I do know that Chris has gathered almost everything he needs to apply to the RCMP and is getting ready to submit his application. I worry over him and at the same time I am so proud of him.

So, tonight I will again lay down my head, and dream sweet dreams. Safe in the knowledge that when I wake tomorrow I won't have to fight someone for my life. We should all be so lucky.

Take care everyone. Keep safe. Ta ta for now.

*the world is falling apart and i know in my heart i don't know what to do about it*
