Yoga Breathing

This is how my teacher at the Y teaches us how to breathe. He says we inhale, we take a deep breath and then we exhale, we go down like this, back again, ten seconds. We were in the fresh air and I found it's a nice place to do it.

Santa Cruz

We rented a car and we went to Santa Cruz. We drove few hours along the ocean and the road was pretty and there were eucalyptus trees. We went first to the boardwalk and there was sea lions and pelicans and lots of people walking. And we were talking on the cell phone with the family, with Josh and Stacy. We had a lovely time. Lovely really. with Carlie and Justin. I was so happy to be with Carlie and Justin. Long time I didn't spend time with Justin. At the end of the day we were tired. And I found the tokens in the arcade. But i was really tired and hungry. I wanted to have a bite. So I looked in my purse I had a Powerbar. And I gave Justin a small piece and I told him "this is your share." Then later we went and I ate fish and chips and Carlie had a salad and Justin had a sandwich.

Lisa's wedding

It was a great day and we were all together at the dressing room, helping each other dressing up with our gowns and the make up artist and hairdresser and one was missing something and another need her dress shortened a little. And to fix the zipper at the back and elastic. We needed a lot of pins to fix some of the stuff that wasn't correct. Especially Lisa's dress, she had three people helping her. I felt just like in Hollywood, before they come to the red carpet sometimes they show us when they're getting ready. And they brought us sandwiches.

Everyone was telling each other: I said, "Terry does my dress look good? I don't feel the neckline is sitting properly." I was so puzzled with the V-neck. I didn't feel it looked properly.

Lisa looked very gorgeous with her makeup and her hair and her veil and we were all ready to go to the photographer. The lady that organized it told us to go to the photographer. It's a show, really. So here is a picture of Lisa. Isn't she beautiful. I am very proud of her. Of all my grandchildren, the six of them together, all of them are good looking.

All the things I do

For a grandma like me, I have so many things. I know a lot of things. I do sewing, I do knitting, I go out, I do exercise, I do everyday exercise. I cook, I bake, I go with Roxy to the park and we do the seesaw, up and down. We drink, we were sampling the wine, and we liked one. Roxy said she'd buy it, she'll come back and buy it. I don't know if she went. I watch TV also.

All the people on this blog

There have been more than 800 people that came to read my blog. Wowee! You know what's wowee? It means wolf. In Arabic we call it wowee. And in French renard. Thanks to you all that visit me and read my blog.

I read in the Gazette about this guy who was on bookface and he was complaining that he didn't have so many friends, they don't appreciate him. He doesn't get so many friends from the bookface. But he had 161 friends and all his classmates have more and he's upset about it. It's stupid, 161 is a lot of people. I think friend count of 161 is enough. Why is he complaining? He is only 17 years old.

Chocolate milk

I drink chocolate milk and I sleep. I don't know why. Sometimes I wake up and I can't go back to sleep and I make a hot chocolate and then I go back to sleep. What do you think of that? Most of the time I sleep fine. Don't worry.

Visiting Carlie

I'm going to visit Carlie in San Francisco. We'll go around. It will be a vacation. What will we do there? Looking around, fooling around, I don't know. Last time he took a me many places, very pretty places where we could see the bridge and the parks and the ocean. I love to travel. I don't worry about it. I have to pack for Toronto and for San Francisco. I'm set. I'm organized.

Francofolies

Many people from the States were here for summertime. They closed Crescent Street for the weekend, it was full full of people dancing on the streets. They call it Francofolie. Who knows what goes on downtown? Terry and I we never go.

Deal or No Deal

Howie Mandel was here for the Just for Laughs. He has this show, Deal or no Deal on the TV. My sister Doreen loves it. Once I was there visiting her in Great Neck and she said, let me watch, I love this show. I didn't get his jokes, I don't know. But it's a nice show.

They closed the Spectrum

I was reading in the Gazette that there is a place where they used to make shows and bands and they are closing it and now everybody is talking about it. The Spectrum, I think it's called. They want to use the place for something else, so the people are missing it. They're talking about when they used to go there and go to bands. It opened in 1982 until 2007.

Laundry

Sometimes I have few things to wash, the big things I give to Terry to wash. Usually just the sheets. The small things i do by hand in the sink.

I made jam

I made a jam from peach and prunes. It turned out very good. mmmm, delicious. I can bring it to Carlie when I visit him in San Francisco. It's very good when you mix them up, the best is apricot, but we didn't have apricot this year. It was a bad year in Montreal for apricot.
