What makes me "me"

What makes me "me"
My hood - my peeps - my dog!

if everyone else is blogging why can't I?

So I meet this woman in my town, and turns out she's a blogaholic.

Heyyy says I, you mean you just start a blog, or in her case several blogs and thats all there's to it? Yup, says she, you can share opinions, wax editorial over things that seem important at the time and babble publicly!

Sounds good to me! I have a story to tell, several actually.

So here goes, my first venture to blog on the big www world wide whine!

Night Night Rudolph - hello Swans!

See ya Rudolph...be good!
And so it goes again - this winter was tied up to the Claus events - and so after finally recovering from all sorts of germy virusy crap, Santa has hung up his suit.  Yup, you read it here first.  Santa has left the building.  Done.  Finito.  Adios.  Ta Ta.

Regrets? Nope!  He's called his usual clients said his farewells, alerted stand in Santa, and now - we
are thinking of HOW to spend next Christmas! This is big news people, for a jolly elf who did 59 gigs in 2016.  Pneumonia be dammed!  He's had a great run - and I am happy albeit surprised he came to this decision.  I think he's just had enough "busy" season. He loves the kids, at times the parents maybe not-so-much. He'll still get called Santa since the beard is trimmed but still white.  But we can live with that.

What this really meansfor our home? Oh yippee!!! We can have Seasonal Celebrations! Christmas Parties with drinky's and appy's!!! Woohoo!   Our large and traditionally festive home will be rockin' round the Christmas trees!Yippeee!!  Do we still believe? You know- the bell still rings for us, and always will - just that this year, the big elf is officially off duty.  Time for his stand in to make an appearance.

I still adore Christmas - it's a wonderful, warm, loving time of year.  I do not love sitting at home alone while the rest of the world is celebrating that much! So this is a good thing.  MAYBE we'll even have a chance some year to go - dare I type it - somewhere WARM at Christmas!! Oh fingers crossed!

Hundreds of  trumpeter swans are back.
In the mean time, Spring has arrived! Sort of - come on let's be realistic, it's Alberta and winter is sneaking up on us to BAM snow and blizzard any time between now and June. But the robins have returned, swans are a'swimming, geese are grabbing prime real estate for their nests - all good!

Yes, tis now the time for all good unemployed (for now) EDO's to get the rake and take care of all the leaves!  And perhaps load up the fire pit, for a bundled up evening of hot dogs, warms drinkies and watching the stars on the weekend!  Yup this is a busy time of year - requiring lots of energy, and ambition.

So I  take a minute now and then to put my feet up, have a cup of coffee in the sunroom with my old cat Mr Big, and just reflect how things happen in life.  At the very least, these few months have given me new determination, tried my patience and faith in myself, a chance to catch up on things I've been putting to the side. Next?  Well perhaps a trek to the far north to see my mom - I mean, no time like the present!

    So, that was his 'swan song'? See what I did there? Swan song and you have a picture of swans. The hilarity never ends. By the way, your publisher has been bugging me about you being late with your next blog. He's threatening to cut my 10% fee. Homey don't play that.
