We never know what life has in stock for us, do we? Think about it, this lady took her grandkids for a morning movie and instead of seeing a movie about dinosaurs, they saw they grandmother fall and die. How messed up is that?!
We did go to Dim Sum, enjoyed a great meal and cherished the fact that we were together with friends. We walked our friends to their cars and Hubby & I walked home, through the Old Port. Yesterday was pretty hot and humid, so we cooled down a bit before making our way to the funeral home to pick up the ashes of Hubby’s mom. We put her in a nice thing that she had painted and it fit perfectly. I also put in Hubby’s first little car (Dinky Toy), a Volks’ Beetle, as I had promised her.
When we got back home, my mother was waiting for us, sitting on our front steps. She dropped by for a quick visit – she just had to see our new place. She had brought us some freshly picked (from her garden) tomatoes and some cucumbers and some corn. Guess what we had for dinner?
I found out this morning that on Thursday the cabinetmaker will be here to fix our fridge issue. I can hardly believe that our fridge will eventually be in its hole! Can’t wait to see that! Then the floor guy called and his guys are supposed to be here to fix the floor downstairs… This is already starting to feel like this week will be another of those

O M G !!!
What a tragic, touching and gleeful posting all at the very same time.
One never, ever knows what life has in store for our personal destinies, whether it be happy or sad, exciting or disappointing, healthy, wealthy...we must learn as humans that nothing should be taken for granted, EVER !!
Oh my gosh, how awful! I can't imagine how I would handle coming up on an accident scene only to find a family member had been hurt or killed. We always assume there will be a tomorrow but sometimes fate has something else in store for us. Makes you stop and think how lucky you are.
How horrible!
I'm glad you were able to see it as a reminder that we shouldn't take anything for granted. And it sounds like the rest of the day was a good example of that.
What a scary story!
But I'm excited about your fridge becoming more user friendly. :)
On second thought......I think my fridge is waaaay too user friendly. I should install steel bars over it! ;)
mousse: We're here on borrowed time as my dad used to say!
ananke: I had to save my dad's life, and I can say that in that moment you don't think about it. You react and do what you think you should be doing.
lizgwiz: Every experience is a learning experience right?! I try to remember that, no matter how wrap it gets.
shopper: It should have a "diet" option on it, like my stove has a "Sabbath" option!
that kinda thing scares me, especially in cars. I think ''Is there going to be a crash? will i get to where im going?'' these things happen in an instant. Thats a morbid thought.
Woo hoo on getting the fridge etc sorted!
pigeon: You shouldn't be having those thoughts, enjoy the moment and if "it" happens, then you enjoyed life while "it" happened!
