This struck me as funny: it's like a cartoon description of our future home town, Sidney BC - so many seniors, and a whole lotta cannabis stores! Have a great weekend.

Tonight on Drift with Erin Davis sleep stories:
Another reason to choose the bear. A girl falls in love with a white bear who, as luck would have it, becomes a prince at night. But in a place east of the sun and west of the moon, he's in the clutches of an evil witch. Will the prince come up with a plan to marry his true love?

Today our Dad turns 91 and I'll share one of my all-time favourite pictures of us together, 3 years ago today in Kelowna.
Today he is hospitalized with dementia while we await a spot in a care home. Dad's spirits are good, he still knows and loves "his girls" and as always we remain optimistic. ❤
Well, my favourite radio partner and GREAT friend Mike Cooper is here, and of course he's making me laugh. Enjoy the VIDEO at www.erindavis.com and have a terrific week, won't you? We sure will. E.
Can't Touch This! (I know you get it)...🤣😂😅
And "Cheers!" to a lovely weekend. E.
Well, my friend, it has been a WEEK. Our grandkids and their folks are gone, and fortunately for us, our good friend Mike Cooper arrived yesterday to buoy our spirits. Just as YOU have done all along. I won't burden you with our sadness any more, just gratitude and a big, BIG hug. Have a lovely day and weekend. E.

What we all agree were the happiest times in our lives, plus how you can get thru loneliness. Hey - what did you call ‘em: thongs, or flip-flops?

Earlier today, I posted a note that KH sent me about moving to a new place and feeling lonely. You answered with your own experiences and advice, and she wanted me to pass this along.
I thank you, too! E.
KH wrote to me this week and asked me about this - but I told her I'd like to send it over to YOU. Many times people have come here with ideas to help others, and you may just have some advice for "Kaye", or can simply RELATE. Here goes:
"We retired in 2019 and moved north of the city. Sometimes I find it too quiet. I have recently joined the Senior Centre even though I'm only 61, but I go to line dancing now to be amongst women and have fun...I like to be around people. I also joined pickle ball so I can go 7 days a week in the mornings, but I find it's an older crowd, fun, but it's hard on my neck!
Still trying to find my groove as my friends and family are a couple of hours away from me. Hubby says that I'm lucky because I got to retire early and most of my friends are still working, BUT I STILL FIND IT HARD.
Thoughts?

Such a lovely sentiment for a Tuesday - or any day. May you have a gentle one. Erin
This week is a heavy one on our hearts. I'm digging deep for all of the stoicism I can muster as we wave good-bye to our grandkids and their parents on their way back to Ottawa. So I'm sharing with you a wonderfully-written piece by my PodPartner and good friend from Lisa Brandt that I will pore over again and again in trying to harden but never close my heart. I hope it helps you, too. https://www.themindfulword.org/stoicism-kindness/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR0dzdaVHtDRR3AgFaEApNYopp9T5YW26XxBijq3ciWsceX6cIq2ZRAvkt8_aem_AacnaKacezESKIX2V_DSVi7Ia27ui4qoDwFESMcVUuE-k376PG3jBGYK6O2X247uAam88b8cg25gnYwaWSZXKvQx
