Happy New Year from Gerald & I, Megan & Maria

Poor Maria My Little Sickie Baby...

We woke up early this morning She was feeling great..Happy go lucky little girl..Was all excited about going to the movies with her Aunt and Uncle and cuz's... The girl even went outside and played for abit...Poor Maria later in the Afternoon.. She turned to this poor teary eyed crying girl with a sore ear then it went to her head...Just crying her eyes out then almost making me cry..G was done work..Found Maria laying in his Lazy boy all wrapped up in the blanket that Aunt Carol had made for her years ago..He knew She was not feeling well..Oh the tears started to flow Daddy I'm Sick..Have sore ear and sore head..Awwww poor thing... I called the Doc and the only time I could take her in was the Walk-In.After 5pm..I called my sis and told them the news about Maria..Well I took her into the walk-in She's on meds the dr. said to me.. boy when she gets sick she's really sick..Oh ya..Poor girl..Tonight I wanted to Take our Business to wal-mart We always went to Shoppers for years and you know wal-mart is so much better..And faster service..and Cheaper too.. I will only go to Shoppers only if I have too now..Like for long weekends or late at night...This photo of Maria was taken later this evening...Just before bed..

My new Job

Wal-Mart Canada

Well since I have been with Wal-Mart Canada for 7 months I have gone from a Temp Reno overnights worker to, a Department Manager And the possibilities are endless for advancement with this company. I have to say I really enjoy this place, I have never worked for an employer that has such strong beliefs in there employees. They believe in three basic beliefs. Respect for the individual, respect for the customer. And Strive for excellence. with these beliefs in mind this place is a role model for all work places. IF any issues arise; never does a voice get raised. It is really nice to go to work and not get yelled at. It is also the only place I have worked at where everyone seems to enjoy there jobs and everyone gets along with everyone else. The true meaning of Teamwork really does live in this environment of employment.

"G"

Well! Its nice to see that the dog park in St. Thomas On. Canada is now open. The Boys certainly had a great time there. As you can see they are all done in after being there this afternoon. Jake who is our forever puppy is at the top of the pic, and Barney; are foster puppy is at the bottom of the pic. Barney has been with us for about 2 months, and has a forever home to go to as of Dec 24. He will be going to a very good home with two very caring people who have a family of four(4) younger children; Whom will give Barney a very good loving home; where he will no doubtedly be over loved and spoiled. He has become a dog that was unsure of what family and love was; to a very affectionate loving and grateful puppy. It really shows that if you are willing to give a little, You will receive it back ten fold. It has been a very rewarding experience that we may consider doing again.

Well I also went a little further by sanitizing my kitchen counter to make sure it was 100% nut free. Maria even wanted to help Megan bake for the bake sale. So I tied back both the girls hair with pony tails and let the girls help with the baking. They had so much fun doing it too...

Way back last year Megan wrote 2 beautiful paragraph's about my baking and cooking..

Well today Megans last year grade 2 teacher asked Megan if she could share them in this years grade 2 class..Of course Megan said yes... She was 7 years old when she wrote them I'm not sure if I shared them with you guys last year but here i go..Warning they are too cute...

I was in the kitchen and I smelled a beautiful smell. Like my Mommy's banana bread.When she opens the oven.I was just dreaming of a pieces.And finally I bit into the banana bread. Reminds me of soft white snow. mmmmm it was so good.


I smelled spaghetti. I asked mommy when it will it be done.And finally she gave me a big plate. I took my fork and dug into that deep spaghetti. The messy spaghetti driped all over me. That spaghetti was so good mmmm
Always remember that spaghetti.

That last few days I been taking it real easy...

I'm feeling a lot better now after taking it easy, getting lots of rest..drinking lots of fluids

and dashing a little salt on my food..I was rushed into the hospital Thursday night,I blacked out in my living room due to low blood pressure. I always knew had low blood Pressure.But didnt know it was real bad at times..After talking to the Doc @ E.R. and after a few test they found out that I have a premature heart beat..Its not every beat that my heart takes, its just a few..I was told to take it easy drink lots and dash a little salt on my meals..Makes me wonder if I'd had this for a few years already..I will be calling my family drs on this..Well the good news is that I'm ok..and feeling better.

I really think all the hugs and kisses from our little ladies helped me feel better..

Well I'm off to bed Good night..Hugs♥
