I didn't forget you - busy
Well it has been a whirlwind. I have been looking at houses galore and now I have stopped until I sell the house. I had put in two condional offers and lost both to firm offers. My house was listed for multiple offers but due to the tarriff war, it didn't work out because people don't know one day from the other where the economy will go. (Amazing to me that one person can control the destiny of the world. This should never be allowed or tolerated, but that is my opinion only. Actually I like Bernie Saunders and what he had to say on CNN. I taped it and will watch it when time is on my side.) I did consider a firm offer for 30 seconds. A private lender wanted $30,000 to be paid within a month and that wasn't even the Mafia. Don't do it people! I certainly didn't. Boy, people really love money. I have been back and forth from Niagara Falls and then I decided a break was needed and I did what I haven't ever tried. I went to visit my sibling in the country or close to it, for a week and only had my phone for communication. Though the phone was busy, it was workable. I tried out one local restaurant I will eventually talk about. I came home to a show piece and that has been interesting. I had to search for Alexa and now she is beside me so I can listen to music and ask her whatever questions. She missed me. I also found my private phones so now I can use that as well. I found dish soap so that is a good thing. This is like sleeping in a department store and you are hiding there and you can leave no evidence of being there. Your personality is stripped completely from your home but I did a no no. I have placed a little rabbit holding an easter egg on my desk. Ha, ha, I re-claimed a bit of me - some colour. In Niagara Falls if a real estate agent books a time and doesn't show up they are fined $500.00 and I love it. Here at home, they are considered rude but are not fined. One agent did that three hours after an open house and I was fuming because I had returned from the boondocks and couldn't go in, until no show showed up. Mr Hoang I am not impressed. I shall be tempted to decline when and if he wishes to return. So, tonight since the trade war, I mean multiple offers failed, my price will go up 100,000 which is probably what it is worth right now at this moment. Trump.....come on, be a sport, go on vacation and give the economy a break. So, for a bit longer be patient with me. I am still around and around and around. My notes are all hidden but that is ok. I don't need notes in general. I always have lots in my grey cells. On the downside, I can't attend any conferences/lectures because I need to be available. Clients are always a priority so that remains clear. Take care world. Good talk. What do you think?

Disney World is my favourite place in the entire world - Disney at my Castle - Castle Loma

Don't forget to always balance your life to meet the challenges life brings. Rest, play, work, spend time in nature, surround yourself with good company.Thoughts of the week
Well, I have been busy and it has been enlightening. I found a house I like in Niagara Falls and put in a conditional offer. I found out after doing an inspection on the house, it has dents on the roof. So, now I need to determine why a roof would have dents and if I should still buy it etc........So, if you buy a house, do an inspection even when it looks as beautiful and new as this place does. My bank has also been a learning experience. Considering I have been with them since I was thirteen years old, I have found there is no loyality for customers. That has been very disappointing. So, it is time to re-examine if my own loyality is justified for this particular legal shark as my mom used to refer to banks. I have always been too independent to listen to my mom. Actually, I did always listen and she was my best friend, but I always had a problem accepting opinions. I like dealing with facts and so this has been a blow. It feels like it did when I was searching to buy my first car. If you buy my bio (For Love of Country Military Policewoman), I list the details there. So next week will be so busy and I will be unavailable to the world. I do want to post some more Disney pictures from Casa Loma. Wish me luck, I can use some extra prayers, that all goes well. As for the States, well, Trump is trying to crush us and I am really sorry that he doesn't care about us at all. We were a good neighbour and I don't really blame him. I don't think he knows any better. Unfortunately, Americans will suffer too. We have our own decisions to make here, since we need to vote soon as I am trying to squeeze it all in, but voting is important and I shall. We have Poiviere (Conservative) whom I cannot consider since he won't get a security clearance and provides rediculous excuses. If you don't have a security clearance you are not privy to classified information. How can you run a country in that situation? You can't. A security clearance requires a back ground check, so what does he have to hide? Everyone votes for whom they think is best to run the country. In my opinion, for myself, my vote will be based on who can deal with Trump a wild card who wants to invade us and crush us, not necessarily in that order. I don't blame Americans. Trump is still trying hard to destroy all relations in the free world. Everyone in the Western World seems to be trying to find different partners. Now with all the scandals and the newest, classified information that could have cost soldiers lives, a reporter was invited to a top secret talk (but they insist it wasn't), on a network that was not secure. Any Private would know that this is a no no. But, of course instead of recognizing their error, they feel that they can decide what should be classified or not. What a bunch of foolish clowns, who I wouldn't trust to run a nursery. Have a good week and I will talk to you after next week. Americans I still love you and of course I will visit you and wear a t shirt or baseball cap saying Canada is Not for sale. But first, I need to move to Niagara. I shall keep you briefed. Keep visiting us in Canada. Canadians are hurt and mad, but it is against - one person. What do you think?

Let's keep it light today. Here are some photos of St Patricks celebration and one from the Home Show. One from Disney
Well, work hard and play hard. Work less and play more? How about a balance? Anyhow. The first photo is from the St Patricks party at the community centre. I want to print out some photos for them. Girls just want to have fun. The second photo is our beloved moose at the Home Show. Poor Moose. She is looking rather beaten up. Hey people.....take care of her a bit better. If I get to the ex this summer, I'm going to check in on her and send you another photo. The third photo is a fun day at Casa Loma - Disney Show (no way was I going to miss that). The sword fight was fun. Some kids got scared and others were more like me. More Disney pictures to come because I love Disney!
