Hello and Happy Friday! I decided to join in The Positivity Wave. Originally started by Meggy @Chocolate’n’Waffles but I saw it posted by nickimags @ The Secret Library Book Blog and Jonetta@BlueMoodCafe. It is a time to spread some positivity amongst all the doom and gloom on social media and in the news. Please feel free to join in with your own Happy Friday post and link to Meggy’s post so that she knows and say ‘hi’
So even though the world is pretty much in a lockdown or isolation, there are still positive things happening.
- My daughter-in-law was again tested for Covid-19 due to her cough and difficulty breathing and was negative. This time they actually started her on an antibiotic and she is doing so much better.
- I took my friend to the hospital in London, Ontario (2 hours away) for her to get a catheter put in for her cancer procedure. All went well. We stayed overnight and had a great day and evening together, but kept our distance, even in the room.
- I finished my self-isolation for being out of the country this past Saturday. I went out and worked in the yard and was able to go and pick up groceries for myself. I was very careful, but it was nice to see other people, even from a distance and it wasn’t crazy like I have been hearing.
- I found a scratch ticket that my daughter had given me at Christmas. I scratched it and won $50.00. Woo Hoo!
- I know we are not supposed to have anyone over, but my granddaughter has been wreaking havoc at home, so she spent today with me and is sleeping over. I will take her home tomorrow evening.
- It is Good Friday and being a Christian, it is a very important day. I was able to hear my minister’s message on Youtube, which was very important to me.
- Of course, I have had a lot of time to read and listen to books. I always enjoy spending time this way. (3 of the audiobooks I listened to this week)
- Last Saturday, I watched Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat as part of Andrew Lloyd Weber’s The Show Must Go On. It was awesome.
During this time, I remind all of you to follow all the protocol set out to stay healthy.
Happy Friday everyone!
What’s made you happy this week?

Carla, what a blessing your granddaughter was able to spend time with you. I’m glad to hear you were able to cross back over after your vacation. Maybe one year we can meet. That would be nice.
I am enjoying this extra time to read. Happy Easter!! 🐬📚🤗

Hi Carla, thanks for your post. I can relate – we have my two granddaughters two days a week now since the daycare shut down. I look forward to their visit but love the quiet after the storm when they go home. So sorry about your friend, lucky she has you.
Here’s my happy thought –
Lots of time these days to read and blog!

Enjoy your grandchildren, what would our kids do without Grandma and Grandpa. I love that time, but am usually exhausted when they go home. I am loving all the time to read, but am so far behind in my reviews, I need to get back to that. Enjoy your weekend Geanie.

How kind you are Carla. ❤ And lovely that you can spend some time with your granddaughter. We are in for a few days stormy weather, so I finished off most of my outside jobs today. I have the Downton Abbey movie lined up to watch tomorrow. It’s my grandson’s third birthday next week, and it will be at least a week later before I get to see him. He wants a yellow birthday cake, yellow currently being his favourite colour. Lockdown has really been a breeze other than not being able to see the boys. Still, hopefully it will soon be over. Take care my friend. 🤗😷❤😍📚

Thanks Sandy, it might be kind to them, but it is also kind to myself and helps to keep me sane. Lockdown is okay, just very lonely. I loved the Downton Abbey movie, and I hope you do as well. I am planning on watching Jesus Christ Superstar after I take Angela home later today. You will enjoy that visit with your grandson for sure. Enjoy your weekend.

We have our 6 yo grandson living with us and he’s bouncing off the walls this week because it’s also been raining and he hadn’t been able to play in the back yard. It’s great that you were able to have your granddaughter overnight!
It’s tragic to be facing cancer treatment at this time. 💔 you’re a good friend!
An extra $50 is fun!
Stay safe! Happy Easter!

Thanks Carol, Happy Easter to you and your family. Today it is quite cold and she wants to go out and play. I am trying to convince her to wait until later this afternoon when it warms up a bit. I feel bad for my friend because the doctor has scared the pants off her about her immune system not being able to fight off anything. She has to go for her treatments, but is being extra cautious. I think I will keep my $50.00 and go out for a nice meal when this is all over.

My sister is a type1 diabetic and I’m extra concerned for her. I’m so grieved for people I’ve run across on Instagram who are compromised and so scared. A dinner out sounds like a perfect treat once we’re past this!

I think your granddaughter coming over was just an extension of your home. If she had been sheltering in place at her house, then it shouldn’t be a problem. It was nice of you to help out your friend. Unfortunately, cancer doesn’t bow to the pandemic. I am sorry your friend has this battle, and I am praying for her. May you be blessed on this Resurrection weekend.

Thanks Linda, yes, they have just been home so I feel okay with it, but my sisters are freaking out. My friend is like a sister to me, we were neighbours growing up and hung out together, were in each other’s weddings etc. so I am happy I can help her out. Thanks for the prayers. Have a wonderful weekend and I pray that you and your family and safe and blessed as well.
