Weekend Away.

My hubby's back from his weekend away in Niagara Falls at his niece's wedding(and her and her hubby are pictured here) and I'm surprised she's not wearing a wedding gown( her hubby looks like a cool guy and reminds me of Keanu Reeves)even though she still looks nice and I think she looks prego again,too( that would be baby # 3 if so) and my hubby said there were something like 20 people and they said their vows in a helicopter which is kind of cool and  my hubby said there was also a big fire next to his motel at an old abandoned warehouse that is now a crackhouse and where squatters and derelicts were living and they all scattered and fled down the street  like cockroaches when you turn on the light to escape the fire and it was all barracaded up and it made it hard for the fire crew to gain access so he had a little adventure watching that all unfold. He also stopped off in Toronto and got a really good Darth Vader mask from this guy on Kijiji  that even has ventilation and sound effects he paid 50$ for and his niece's hubby originally wanted to dress up in a costume too  like the guests but she nixed that idea and made him be formal and not ruin their wedding.

 I don't blame her.

When my hubby came back I , unlike him, didn't leave a bunch of laundry or a dishwasher full of dishes  for him either like he'd left for me when he left,  but instead had everything all washed and clean and empty and I even switched my menus around as I was originally going to cook the buttermilk chicken yesterday and the meatloaf today but my hubby likes the chicken and not meatloaf so I decided to switch it to the chicken today when he's here and I do all sorts of " little things" like that all the time he's not aware of and that go unnoticed.Buddy's also like a grumpy old ogre( like my mother!) and I feel like his servant; always barking at me for something( I'm lucky if I even get 10 minutes of peace and quiet and can't even eat a meal without him interrupting it) and now he's so old and helpless being blind, deaf, and relying on me for everything but letting him go will be the hardest thing I'll ever have to do but I already feel like I'm losing him bit by bit  day-by-day now now as it is anyway with dementia and the ravages of old age as he's no longer who he once was; it's just when he dies it will be "official" and final.

Hamas also offered Israel a reasonable deal to exchange all of the remaining hostages for a ceasefire in Gaza but even still they refuse and are still intent on invading Rafah, the last place of sanctuary(with nowhere else left for them to go) for over a million Palestinians displaced by the siege so it clearly shows Israel doesn't really care about their hostages or peace and just wants war and to exterminate every last living Palestinian and take their land for their own settlements, and it's sad for me to realize as well that other people have always meant way more to me than I have ever meant to them and that I've lost everyone I've ever loved in one way or another and nothing lasts forever and will eventually come to an end sometime.

I didn't always know at the time that I was happy and making memories; not until I looked back later and realized that I was.
