Happy Monday!

Well here we are at the beginning of another week. I feel more positive this week, set off by a beautiful day yesterday,  we had sunshine and it was warm enough to sit outside. This was instead of the promised snow and freezing rain.  And this week includes the wedding anniversary of our civil ceremony, 16 years since in Croydon, United Kingdom. 

But the week start with a baby shower / luncheon for my ex boss, who has just become a grandmother, and this is to thank her truly for working tirelessly, so that the company gets a new contract, in order for us all to get back to work again. I have a baby blanket which was waiting for a baby, so I am planning to give that to her.

And then this evening, we have been invited to dinner with good friends, who have been there for us when we have been in such dire straits this winter. 

Thursday is our anniversary, and I have been instructed to be ready to go when my husband gets home from work.  We are going to our favourite restaurant in town, and the last time we were there in early March for my husband's birthday, was the first time we had been there in almost a year. My sister had given us a gift certificate so that we could treat ourselves, and the people thought maybe we had gone home to England. On the contrary, we are here and still fighting to stay on our island. 

Here and Here are links to Cape Breton Island, a small piece of heaven, that reminds me of my home in Wales, and and here is a photograph of the Cabot Trail.
