Hello from New Brunswick, my friends. Iโm here at my mumโs for a week. And I hope youโll understand if I just drop by to say I wonโt really be dropping by this week.

With all the traffic here in Mumโs little house, plus trying to squeeze in as many visits with friends and family as I canโฆ I havenโt been able to write a post.

Iโm here until next Thursday โฆ. when Iโll be flying back to Ottawa. Iโll talk to you from there. As usual. Next weekend. Thanks for understanding. ๐

Hope all is well with your mum! Looking forward to next weekend’s post, but can certainly hang in there and wait if you end up needing a little time to catch your breath.
Hope all is well! Enjoy your time together at your Mum’s (a warm Hi to her
)! See you here in a week

Mum says, โHow lovely.โ And says hello back.
Thanks, Denise. ๐
Hope all is well.
All is fine, thanks. ๐
Iโll miss our little chat but will look forward to your next post . Give your mum a hug from your โ blog family โ
I will Wendy. I am conveying all messages and hugs. She laughed when I read her your comment.
Spent last evening reading some of your older winter fashion posts from 2019 and on. Go enjoy your mom and family. Hope all is well. Look forward to talking at you next week!
All the best to Mum.
Safe travels.
Thanks, Mary.
Thanks, Kat. Hope you enjoyed the old posts. ๐
Hope your Mom is well. Sue, I noticed your mask. Weโre wearing them again, as well. This is just a suggestion, get some N95 masks, as they filter out contagious secretions. They are readily available in the US and worn by all medical staff. Wishing you, Hubby, and your family a happy Holiday! Merry Christmasโค๏ธ
Mum is well, thanks. I do have some N95 masks. I know they are better, but as they are harder to find Iโve been saving them for more crowded situations. The plane was half empty.
Hope your mom is well. The selfies made me chuckle as I know our airport and our airport bathrooms well. I’ve stood in front of that mirror many times! (You are so chic for travel – love the scarf especially, and its length, and the skinnies with the boots, and of course your new coat.)
Per the comment from the last commenter: I wear masks all the time and have found good Canadian suppliers of both 3M Auras and Canadian-made N-95s, if you”re interested. I wear the Auras on all of my international trips, as they seal beautifully over the nose, but my favourite Canadian ones are made by Vitacore in BC. I have to take extra care as those at my destination are older and have health issues. So far, in six or seven international trips I’ve managed to get nothing.
I wish they hadn’t lifted the mask mandate on federally-regulated transportation, as it’s such a small thing they can do (even though many people weren’t wearing masks properly during the mandate), to help those of us who need to be careful. Anyway…hope all stays well.
Take care
Take care!
Weโve had trouble finding N95 masks. Iโve kind of been rationing them. The airport in Ottawa and the plane were not crowded so I use$ the other kind. Not ideal, Ali know. ๐
Thinking of you and your Mom. Have a good visit with her and your family. Safe travels. โค๏ธ๐
I will. Thanks, Liz.
Youโre giving your Mom the best Christmas present ever by spending your week with her. I hope you have a great time together. Sue
Ah, thanks, Susan.
Hope you have a good visit with your Mom. You know it means a lot to her. Don’t worry about us out here, we miss you, but we’ll manage. Enjoy your friends and family.
Thanks, Cathy. I will. ๐
Safe travels, enjoy your visit with your dear mum. Good to see you in that lovely green coat!
Thanks, Sarah.
Have a great time with your Mom Susan, I would give anything to be able to spend a day with mine, you are so lucky to have her! โค๏ธ
Liz
Thanks, Liz. Letโs have that coffee when I get home.
Have a wonderful time visiting everyone!!!!
Thanks, Natalie.
Enjoy your visit Sue and keep your mask handy as well as your hand sanitizer. Covid, flu, and RSV are rampant in NJ.
Yep. Masks in my purse. Been increasing here in New Brunswick, I think.
Sue
May you have peace , joy and health while you visit with mom and family.

Thanks, Margaretanne.
My first message got swallowed up by the authenticity-checkers, so I’m trying again. From personal experience, I know how much your visits mean to your mother, and I know that you are and will be glad for all of the time you spend with her. Thank you for being such a wonderful daughter.
Thank-you, Leslie. Much appreciated. Thanks for persevering. ๐
Have a lovely time with your Mum. Hope all is well. Stay safe and we will see you when you are back.
Safe travels to you and Season Greetings to your Mom.
I wonder which books will be talked about and which Xmas movies will be enjoyed? I do know, nothing beats mother daughter time! ๐ Enjoy to the fullest! ๐
Have a wonderful visit with your mom! We’ll be waiting when you’re back home and able to resume blogging again.
Hi Sue,
enjoy the family time with your loved ones in Brunswick.
My mother is just turning 96 and I told her, that I regularly read a blog from Sue in Canada. Oh, Canada, she said quite dreamy. Canada is far away, isn’t it? Yes, Mum, I replied. Was I ever in Canada, she asked me after a while. Yes Mum, in the 90s, you visited your friends, Marion and her husband. Do you remember? Oh yes. Now we talk about, I remember, it was a wonderful journey.
Dear Sue, you gave my mum and me a happy moment!Thank you.
Hugs to you and your Mum from Susa and Therese from Cologne
