I Sure Could Use Some Advice

I sure could use some advice on how to handle this situation.

I have been in love with a man for almost 16 years now and we have had a great relationship.

We have been together through thick and thin.

A few years ago his  boss passed away and his son sold the business and moved to Germany.

That left my significant other without work , he has been doing odd jobs but refuses a regular job .

I have put up with this for the last 3 years and have been paying the whole shot other than a few

groceries here and there.

I have asked him to get a job and he doesn't don't get me wrong I love him, he treats me well, he does

alot around the house and cooks and cleans but that is not what I asked him to do.

I am so frustrated about this as I love him and can't picture myself with anyone else but it seems he is

not willing to get a job and when I ask he walks away from me and doesn't talk about it.

Any advice?

Mom Has The Measles

 Mother made it 75 years and then got the measles this past week.

They say that the German Measles are known as the 3 day measles, she has had hers for a week now and still covered in spots so I would say she is sporting the Red Measles.

I feel so bad for her,it seems like it has been one thing after another for her as of late.

She is now on the mend and not so itchy and  the spots are clearing up nicely.

Mom was so covered she had them on the palm of her hands and soles of her feet, on her scalp...

She and I never got the chicken pox until my boys got them about 30 years ago.

I am hoping that this will be the last of her health issues for a while, the poor dear .

Have you gotten the measles as an adult or did you get them as a child?

The Heatwave

Well if you lived in Ontario for the last few weeks you know that we have been experiencing a heatwave.

I am happy to say that this morning it finally has broken and the temperature is sitting steady at 21 C and the nice cool breeze is feeling extra special.

I have spent the last few weeks trying to avoid going out in the heat if I could but as we all know that is not possible to stay in for weeks at a time when you have a busy life.

I did however find lots of ways of cooling off.

I took a slide down slide street in Port Hope with my granddaughter, what a fun day that was.
I also went to the beach and over to the splash pad at the park with my granddaughter.
I spent alot of time inside loving the air conditioning.

Today I plan on going outside and going on a long walk now that the air is cooler and there is a lovely breeze.

How did you handle the heatwave?

The Years Sure Fly By!

I can't believe how quickly the years fly by.
My eldest son will be 38 this year and my youngest son 35...just wow!
 I truly am thankful for the blessings the Lord has given me over the years 2 healthy and happy Sons and a beautiful, healthy Granddaughter.
I am blessed to still have my Grandmother and my wonderful Mother.

I volunteer at the local radio station and have my own radio " Wednesdays With Laurie"  8am- 1pm on CKOL Radio 93.7 FM in Campbellford  and 100.7 FM Madoc Ontario .

I volunteer for Community Care doing volunteer driving and also respite care.
My days are quite full and I enjoy the time I share with everyone that touches my life.

I treasure each moment shared with my family, life is too short, don't  waste it...
