Himalayan Goji Berries!

Good Morning! Hope you are fine; and enjoying the full glory of Fall; or Spring, if you are in other parts of the world. It has been a tid of a few days, that I have not posted any tidbits. My apologies; to those that may have missed reading some of my bittids.

I really enjoy the "Blog"; and it has become more like a journal of thoughts, and hopefully helpful "tidbits"; and / or of the day to day "stuff". It has been a rather interesting time for us; because everything is happening all at once! Life seems to go like that, doesn't it?

Tidbit - Take a breath, take a calm, and just tackle whatever it is you have to do. Live each day at a time. I always ask Him for His help, to carry our burdens; which He does!

I wrote lastly on Sunday, the 23rd Sept; and here it is, already Thursday! In between everything, I managed to pull a bit of muscle (my breastbone); very strange......may have been from an over exhuberant vacuuming! However, it is on the mend; and speaking of "on the mend". we have been working with Alan's parents to help improve their situation. We will have more of an idea next week as to their scenario.

A wonderful tidbit! We have just been introduced to an amazing nutritional beverage, the Himalayan Goji berry.(please see photo image). For those that wish a tid of info, please let me know and I will supply you with a bit! Alan's Mum and Dad can hardly wait til they receive their product; which they will receive on an ongoing monthly basis. AND, it has given my-mother-in-law hope and a new lease on her life! She has already told some of her friends about this special and unique juice; and not only will she be sharing her experience(s) with others, she will be rewarded with monthly income!

Also a bit of bittid, we had the conference telephone call re: the tenant on Monday, the 24th. The Arbitrator "threw it out!". The tenant sent us an email on Monday am; we could not access the info; which looked like "goobly gook"; even our realtor and leasing agent could not make it out. So, the Arbitrator dismissed it; primarily on the grounds that 3 business days are legally required for a postponement. Our tenant apparently was called away on an emergeny business trip; so she had the boyfriend (maybe a lawyer) represent her. So, now they have to start again on us, if they wish. Talk about a waste of time; and we had 2 other professional people lined up with us for the call. I think it is on record that we have a very greedy and manipulative tenant. So, she will have to pay the costs. The "boyfriend" wants "justice done" - well, everything is moot; and it is very obvious that she and the "boyfriend" are "out to lunch!" Monday, Oct 1st, will be a very interesting day; we will be able to determine what the tenant decides to do. Most likely, she will terminate the lease and leave. That would be the best; that having been blogged, we can move Alan's parents into that spot. If she stays, then she is only there til the end of Jan/08; when the lease expires.

A fun afternoon with Alan's parents and Blue!

We just came in the door from having spent a nice afternoon and lunch with Alan's parents. We picked them up, had a bite to eat, and then went to the beach to enjoy the beautiful scenery and warm sunshine. We took our "puppy", Blue, along with us; and he just loved the freedom of the park and the ocean air! Plus, there were lots of doggies there for him to chase and play with! The picture is our Blue; taken about a year ago, when he was almost 2 yrs old; he has not changed; he is still a "puppy" to us!

Tidbit - Alan's parents' spirits were appreciatively buoyed, as they were "out" of their "prison!" We, in turn, were also uplifted by their joyfulness. "Pay it forward!"

Glad to be home again; and we have another full week ahead of us. Think we will be going to bed early tonight; as we have a very very early start tomorrow morning. We know too, that Blue will have a really good sleep tonight!

Hope you are enjoying your Sunday; the first weekend of Fall!

God Bless.

Do you want to be out of the Starter's Gate?

Hi, Well, today is an outrageoulsy different topic; and, I am excited about it!!!

We were unexpectedly introduced to an awesome product today! We are going to participate, because if it helps Alan's Mum, and others, that we hold dear to our hearts. you can not lose! There is NO risk involved; AND, there is a 90 day money back, a 3 mon guarantee! Absolutely incredible! Also, for those that wish not only to improve their overall health, there is a major business as well! We have been in touch (actually, them with us!) with some very successful people; and we think that the monthly monies earned, is totally DOABLE. There may be some of you, who would appreciate a supplemental income, or to help make ends meet a little easier, mortgage needs, perhaps a new family, or fixed income needs, or to buy a house, a property, a boat, a car, a vacation, whatever.....and this may very well, be the ticket! The people that have been in touch with us, are REAL; and the way they have succeeded, is by a team effort; helping others! They actually help us!!! Stop and think about it. How many people genuinely want to help you get successful in a business??? This is pretty fantastic; and I am not tiddying about this, not, one single bit!

Tidbit - If something genuinely catches your attention, go for it!

That is what we are doing; in between everything else. However, this is OUTRAGEOUS! So, for those of you, who are looking to improve your health / overall well being, and / or enjoying a business (from home; or wherever, - on the phone, website, etc. whatever works the best for you) this may be something of key interest. If that is the case with any of you, please comment and we will happily go from there.

Bittid - The gate is open; and we are out of the starter's gate!!! Alan and I will enjoy building this together with others' help; as well, as being of service to others!

In a tidbit or bittid, this is a "win win situation!" There is no pressure; just a viable option for those who genuinely wish to better their circumstances.

First Day of Fall - September 21st!

First Day of Fall; September 21st! What does the first day of Fall mean to you? Is it the brightly coloured leaves, crisper temps both in the ams and the pms, cosy fires, projects on the go, Thanksgiving, whatever comes to mind!

We have been getting a lot accomplished; even with poor Alan's leg. As I eluded to earlier, the "best laid plans of mice and men". Interesting how things have a way of working out; so that everything still gets done!

And here it is, the end of day. It is pouring with rain; am glad to be indoors for the night; not having any committments, save to enjoy being home and to chill out.

Tidbit - Appreciate the seasons; and thus, the vivid change in nature, that comes with each season.

Please feel free to leave your comments on your thoughts of Fall!

Good Speed, and God Bless you all. Good Night!

New soil, new growth!

Good evening! Am about to say "Good night" in the same breath, practically! Been a long day; a good one. but a tid lengthy!

We had new soil put in today on our common area! This is a fabulous victory! Since my Dad's passing in 1998, everything has been quite a bit neglected. Since we moved in here at the end of May / 06, it has taken all this time, to have this finally done. The new soil, is like a new lease on life!

Tidbit - Till, add, and dig in the new soil, which produces a wonderful garden of life! Look at life that way; a new chance to grow; and in abundance!

Bittid - Appreciate the gift of seasons. Being adaptive to change, is good.

God Bless all of you who read this post.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Arthur! The Big 30! Hard to believe! And, I thought I was becoming younger with each passing year! However, better than the alternative! as in no birthdays! And yes, I was glad about my birthday this year; and plan to be more so with each evolving year!

Alan and I both wish you a wonderful day; it is a great benchmark in one's life. You will be entering a new decade; and with that, you will experience changes and choices; hopefully all for the best; as in onwards and upwards. The good thing is, that you know the difference between right and wrong; and, if you stick with integrity, honour, and truth, these traits will hold you in good stead throughout your life. That is a bit of tid advice from your Mum; however, you were brought up in this manner.

Tidbit - Make the most of each day; particularly if it is your birthday! Enjoy!

Happy Birthday, again, Arthur!

Love,

Mum and Alan

Dreams

"Where is it now, the glory and the dream?"

"DREAMS"

Hold onto dreams
For if dreams die
Life is like a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.






Hi again. Soon after I had published today's tidbits, Alan's Mum and Dad arrived on our doorstep. A close family friend had taken them to Church; and, as they have not attended for awhile; it was an extra special event for them. The family friend had a luncheon; however, some other people who live close to us, dropped them off.

They were glad to be "out"; and as the photo image shows of the old man in the chair, with his head in his hands, that is pretty much the situation for Alan's parents, at the horrid bit place, where they have literally been dumped into, and left to die. Not a nice scenario. We are thinking that once the tenant leaves (of her own accord) then, we will move his parents in; because they are not currently, experiencing a quality of life. As Alan's Mum said, they are merely just existing; pretty sad, don't you think?

They enjoyed a tidbitz of lunch along with a bittidz beer for Alan's Dad; and a bittidz Bailey's for Alan's Mum. Alan is still on medication; but he did enjoy a beer. I had a glass of champagne! Alan loves his beer; and I appreciate champagne! Go figure! They say "opposites attract"; well, it works! The tidbitz drink uplifted their fragile spirits and hope was restored to them; and they are looking so forward to relocating to their new nest.

Tidbit - Have a genuine empathy and compassion for others. When you uplift and give encouragment to others, you feel so much the better for it!

Good Night and Sweet Dreams!
