Good day of accomplishment yesterday as I am now down to just 32 matches to sort and the index for the first Photo Album is growing steadily with the location of the early pictures of Edward discovered and placed into this first book. It will be the smallest book as I am using our original binder for this particular set. The rest will be the larger photo books of which there are about 25 which will be reduced to around seven or eight or less if that works out. They do hold a lot of pictures. We have a lot of pictures. There will be a lot of shredding for sure. But then it all ended suddenly early in 2001 when Edward decided to only have electronic sets of family pictures.
We have two lovely binders of the two major trips that were taken one by my daughter in the early 90s (a school trip) and one by the two of us (my eldest daughter and I) to Rome and London in 2001. We will likely keep those intact for a bit but they are also all electronic as well and the printed copies will be shredded probably sooner rather than later as once again there are a lot of pictures. Interesting that my daughter took 24 rolls of pictures and I barely took three some of which were pictures my daughter took of me on my camera. I just really like to remember in my mind the items that mean a lot to me.
Still good news on the project front as discussion is ongoing on the next set of projects that will be in preparation whilst these other five are completed and then on we go. The ride has begun towards a new energy grid across the country and up into the Territories to bring us all online and ensure a very productive country for the children born today and adults to come. New mines, new ports and an increase in oil production to speed us on our way. There is the will and the desire to protect the environment will ride right along with us as we do the best we can do for both. Carbon capture being very much on the top of the list as well.
Prayers continuing for the soul of Charlie Kirk and for his wife and children as they move forward without him. Prayers continuing for the soul of the little toddler who lost his life when a car crashed through the window of his daycare and for his family grieving his loss. Prayers for the children injured and still recovering in hospital. God be with them all.
Monday will see me glued to the television set watching Question Period. These discussions are the most important that our parliament has seen for a very long time; they are about the future of Canada and its peoples managing their economy. I remember when we built the St Lawrence Seaway all by ourselves and the good feeling of having created such a waterway. People drove to see it from all over Canada; to marvel at what we had done. Now we will create an equally wondrous water system in the north utilizing our access to the Arctic and from there to both the Atlantic and Pacific with Hudson Bay as our huge harbour and ports of call at various places. All of this on the drawing board as we move forward. Trade will flow from Canada to the entire world. Premier Ford mentioned that the First Nations have the Ring of Fire in hand we just need to help with getting that project sitting on the drawing board for much too long to fruition. The Premiers are all excited at the work ahead and it is wondrous to see Provinces and Nation moving in tandem together and forward.
Another work day and a good exercise day and today is rowing, yoga and running along with my two calisthenic/yoga exercises to wake me up in the morning. The Fitbit is certainly a wonderful extra since it entered the market. I have had one for a very long time and find it to be a very useful item in my life.
Drinking tea and on to the solitaire puzzles - my brain exercise to begin the day.
