Yesterday was my last day of work at the Y and today is my first day of retirement. It was a very pleasant day at work. I had enough to do to keep me occupied, but not too much to do so I could stop and talk to members and other staff. Just so that… Continue reading The Last Day to The First Day

First Aid Training
As employees of the Y in Winnipeg, all staff are required to have first aid and CPR training and every 2 years we are required to attend a re-certification training.

Rain and Snow
We’ve had a couple of rainy, snowy days, but I sure hope spring will fight back and get on track again. I am still behind in my pictures and today’s are from the 30th. It was very cool and raining when I took the pictures and then the snow started in the afternoon. The snow… Continue reading Rain and Snow
Chester
It was cool and windy this morning on our walk along the Red River. It felt nice. The only problem was that with the wind, there were no critters around at all. I guess wild critters all around the world are the same with the wind – they stay in hiding. The critters seldom appear… Continue reading Chester

A Million Dollars – Tax Free
A Million Dollars – Tax Free! What a thought 🙂 That is the question of the day from Word Press – What would you do with a million dollars, tax free? In Canada winnings are tax free – its the interest earned on the money that I would have to pay taxes on. This is… Continue reading A Million Dollars – Tax Free
Age
Age is kind of a funny thing. Now that I am getting close to being an official senior citizen, people seem to think that I am smarter than when I wasn’t close to being a senior citizen. I get asked questions and I know the answer – the thing is that I knew the answer… Continue reading Age
January 15th
Chilly morning here – guess I should have plugged the car in last night. It was -25C at 7:30 am with a wind that makes it feel like -37C brrrrr By the time I got home from exercising and eating breakfast, the temperature had dropped to -28C with no wind. Lucky me then got… Continue reading January 15th
