blank space

My mind is a big blank. I don't have any idea of what I want to write about. What is a poor woman to do in such a case?
What is a blank, just space between the ears? Or can it be like a land lying fallow?  Or a space between two quilt blocks designed as a place for the eye to rest?  A blank page?In any case my blank space is in my mind and is not recovering from this malaise. So bear with me while I ramble and hopefully restore my brain. Is that possible? The brain is a humungous blank space much of the time unless it is on automatic. I feel my brain wants to rest from its usual frenetic pace. Sounds like two opposing thoughts contradicting themselves.
Still I am trying to think. LOL

The Pope resigns is the big news story today. I wonder what will happen in the days to come to explain this event. Of course he is 85 and may actually just be worn out from the rigours of the job.
I wish him the best but worry that he may be very ill.

My sister came over today along with the cleaning lady. Ray went out to shop and go to the pharmacy. He always takes himself off to somewhere when the cleaning lady comes. One thing he did , sweet guy that he is was to buy me a small heart shaped box with Purdy's chocolates in it. MMM. Lovely!

Marg and I talked for a long time, she brought  over the book I mentioned a few days ago , A Twisted Faith by Gregg Olsen and a true story. I am looking forward to reading it starting tonight. Olsen writes an intriguing tale.

That was the extent of my day ,doing nothing except visiting, no cutting , pinning. sewing. Such a shame. I need to get started earlier in the day . Mostly I start in the afternoon and some days late afternoon. Sure limits my production.

Richard has asked that we his family and friends try and raise funds for ALS  research, not that it will help him , it is too late for my dear boy but for those diagnosed after him.  I don't know where to begin but if you are interested and can send  a donation however small to the Calgary Alberta ALS society in Richard McBride's name. Please do what is in your heart. $5 and up , no number is too small. It is a tide of love and caring that carries people along the path of true empathy.

Thanks for listening or reading as the case may be.
Now my plea is done, thanks for staying with us.

The good news is that Meaghan, Louis and Charlotte will be visiting when Rick is here on the 22nd. It will be wonderful to see them again, it has been two months or maybe three I guess.

Charlotte and Uncle Ricky, who is with his Dad Richard in Calgary. But this is a nice photo, Ricky is good with little ones.  I hope he comes with his dad later this month.

I don't know why I saved this photo but maybe it is the joyous way that little girls hop and skip. I am reminded of two little Grade one boys holding hands and skipping along the halls at school. It is such a lovely happy picture and it goes with this picture . Boys as well as girls skip and hop.

Little heart in a square in a square. It's kind of cute and easy.

Well for a blank mind this is not too bad but it is the end for tonight.

Have a great evening.

Good night.
