You know, I am sooo tired of March looking like December should have looked! It's the first day of Spring and it's snowing! I think the guy on the radio said heavy snow...whaaat! It's almost Easter and let me tell you I refuse to do Palm Sunday in three feet of snow. Stay tuned!

I Will Remember You




It's the reason I don't like March. The Ides. My best friend died on March 13th, 1995. My brother, Garry Ronald Cousins, known affectionately as "Gaz" died today, March 11th, 1983. Today this post is dedicated to both of them for Richard I say his favourite line from his favorite movie series, " I have been and always shall be, your friend. Cheers to you, Richard Gordon Austin Beal, I miss you. For Gaz, my brother, my twin separated by 14 years but I felt you as my twin brother none the less, I know you are near me at this time and I know you are happy. I just wish we could go have a drink together and maybe a dance, maybe in a hip nite spot in Spain again. You have climbed your stairway to Heaven and gotten off at the top. The top of your form, the top of your life. I love you guys.

Spring Please Come!

Oh yes. We need it really. Here in Central Alberta it's been winter weather for way to long. A sure sign of spring...I bought open toe shoes today. What I like about buying shoes is what most women like...fat or thin you can always get shoes. Even if you have big wide feet somehow it's not as bad as buying clothes. Shoes always look good-trust me. I have to wait tho till all the muck and wet is gone before I can wear my shoes outside or they'll get messed up. They are nice pumps in a suede leopard print...just my style. Do I need more shoes? No but that's the point. It's fun to buy and have them. I can reconcile the whole thing by saying some of my old worn out shoes are going to the garbage this spring and it that may happen or it may not. It doesn't matter. It's ok to buy shoes and feel good. They don't make you gain weight and hey if they were on sale it's a bargain. Did I mention also that Nectarine Cider is really good? Well it is. Maybe that's why I have so much to say about the shoes. Oh well. We enjoy it while we can. March may be back to Lion status next week but right now I am loving the Lamb.
Cheers!
