Brains and other things

I am having a blank happening in my brain tonight LOL. BUT I did read an article this morning that claims mothers who have male DNA in their brains  are less likely to contract Alzheimer's disease. And women who have had sons are more likely to have Male DNA in their braisn. Boy am I lucky, 5 sons puts me in the good brain category. However there is the question of masculinizing the female brain. So what I say, I feel fine with the brain I have :)) and happy to have a smaller chance of getting Alzheimer's Disease. You can find the whole article in The Vancouver Sun daily newspaper Section B.

Jim and Ray had a good time today running around town and looking at things men like to look at.  I stayed home with Lynn the cleaning lady while the boys had fun. However I did not feel so well and that didn't bother me.

Jim took all the blades off our overhead fan and Ray washed them for Jim to put back. It had not been done for years since Jim had done the job many years ago. So it was good to get that job done. Jim has done several jobs since he has been here . So we took him out to dinner at the Keg for Prime Rib and baked potato with the works . At least I had the works. Haha.It was a nice time and good food and fun company.

We were supposed to go to a meeting tonight but neither of us wanted to go so here we are sitting at home. It feels good !!

Sam wrote to me today , it has been a while since we heard form him. He said he has been out of the country and very busy. He will call us the week of Thanksgiving which is the 8th of October. I wonder if he will be able to come for dinner. Rick is coming here for the Thanksgiving weekend offered to cook dinner. He asked if Meaghan, Lewis, Ricky and Charlotte could come too. Of course they can. I am looking forward to  having them all here. I sure hope some of them will help with the clean up.

Magnolia in a pineapple square.  Kind of pretty . I don't usually care for  pieced flowers but the pineapple adds a bit of interest.

 

 

Kate at the market in Toronto. Is she looking at sunglasses?

I love these mother and child photos but this one is unusual , mostly I do dogs, cats, horses And so on. This is a cute picture.

 

Another fabulous mother and child picture. Who would think the little guy could get up that high, so maybe mom was lying down when he got on and then she stood up. No matter it is a great picture.

 

That's all for tonight folks.

Have a great evening.
