•Lest We Forget• • Wow. So... this is the first Remembrance Day we’re celebrating with my grandmother. It’s been a long time tradition to go to either a church service or the celebration at the Butterdome in our guiding and/or scouting uniforms. So this is the hardest “first” I’ve encountered so far. Nona Dorothy McPherson (née Rogers) was an independent, outspoken, stubborn pain in the ass, and the most amazing person I’ve ever met. She served in the RCAF and only retired when she became pregnant with my aunt. She met my grandfather in the Air Force, and was an army wife for several years after she had her two daughters. She was an active member of @girlguidesofcanada both as a leader and then later on as a member of the 2nd Edmonton Trefoil Guild. She was a devout Anglican at St. Michael and All Angels, and volunteered her time and energy to many parts of the church. She was an active swimmer, going at least once a week, and did not slow down until October of last year. Lewy Body Dementia is the second most common dementia and the least talked about. It’s essentially dementia with Parkinson’s symptoms, such as tremors, poor balance, and losing the ability to articulate. My grandmother knew she was dying, and it was heartbreaking to watch her slowly accept that she was heading downhill. But she remained valiant as ever until the last time I saw her. She did not let Lewy kill her. No, she went home in her own time, waving to her loved ones on the other side that were inviting her back home. Today was emotional, to say the least, but after lighting an indigo candle and meditating, it was clear to me that she really is in a better place, and is always with me. I also offered some dried lavender (her favourite smell) and a poppy pin to say thank you. I will remember her and every other veteran or active duty soldier. I miss you Granny, but I know you aren’t in pain anymore, and that helps tremendously. #aroundtheriverssbend #theriverssbend #remembranceday #lestweforget #wewillrememberthem #nousnoussouviendrons #poppy #rcaf #ggc #girlguides #girlguidesofcanada #lewybodydementia #dementia #veteran (at Edmonton, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHersLyhxbu/?igshid=1993sgobtmrlf

I cannot confirm or deny that I may or may not have bought three boxes of cookies. Actually I got four and gave one box to a neighbour as will a second one. I ordered them and they were delivered this afternoon! Yay! #girlguidesofcanada #girlguidecookies https://www.instagram.com/p/CJzMRYwHv4J/?igshid=a4o921lzkb5h

On my way home yesterday - De camino a mi casa ayer.... • I saw a small entrepreneur in training selling her cookies - Vi a una pequeña empresaria en formación vendiendo sus galletas. • What I found charming was how her little brother was there with her to hold the sign with the price per box - lo que se me hizo encantador fue como su hermano estaba ahí con ella para detener el letrero con el precio por caja. • You could see in the way he looked at her, how proud he was of her - Podías ver, lo orgulloso que estaba de ella en su mirada. • Every entrepreneur needs her support system, don't you think? -Cada empresaria necesita su sistema de soporte, no creen? • Of course, I bought a box of delicious cookies - Por supuesto compré una caja de galletas deliciosas (vainilla y chocolate). Great lessons taught @girlguidesofcanada Did anything happen to you yesterday? Try telling a small story (in Spanish) in the comments 👍🏻 Hasta pronto, Debbie #spanishtidbits #speakspanish #learnspanish #practicespanish #stories #fun #bilingual #delicious #girlguidesofcanada

Planning ahead works!! Breakfast time at the Flip Factory after a Girl Guide Sleepover. I'm eating my homemade granola for breakfast along with some almond milk! The provided breakfast here is yogurt and muffins along with some fruit. Definitely doesn't work with my #glutenfreedairyfreelife! Want to know how to make the granola? Check out my video from yesterday! #gymnastics #flipfactory #girlguidesofcanada #girlguides #granola #homemadegranola #dairyfreelife #glutenfreelife

So in the two amazing years my daughter has been a part of Bridgwater chapter of Brownies, she has done everything required to earn EVERY badge available. Now there not all here. She gets her last four tomorrow evening at the ceremony of graduation from Browines to Guides. I am so proud of all you accomplished this year Garcia Joy. #kids #proudparents #girlguidesofcanada #girlguidesofbridgewater #bridgewater #badges #buckfamily #holymoley #everybadge #allbrowinebadges #100%finished (at Nova Scotia)

Hi Sweetheart! Here you are after you were officially named a girl guide Brownie. So glad you’re involving yourself in a lot of extra curricular activities. When I was your age I didn’t have the luxury to participate in such and having you now, I want you to go to all those that interest you. Keep exploring Sofia. The world and its people have so much to offer. Go places ❤️

You know what this means... only 30 days until Halloween. The planning in our house has begun and some costumes have even been ordered. But first, in Canada at least, my FAVORITE holiday - Thanksgiving! Today I’m thankful for all the kind souls who supported our cookie stand for Girl Guides by buying cookies! #thankfulheart #thanksgiving2017 #girlguide #girlguides #girlguidesofcanada #halloweenfun #theylovehalloween #ilovethanksgiving #october2017
