02-14-23 A Day of Grand Gestures
There was a strange snow coming down that apparently is called corn snow but was more like a bean bag chair had burst in the mansion in the sky. I dropped off two bags of empties to a lady in need and then swung by Mom’s to leave her a message in the snow. She came to the window when I called her and said, ‘oh thanks’. And that was it, lol. I’m not sure she remembered it was Valentine’s Day.
The day was pretty full and productive at work as usual. Dealing with last minute client issues rather than what I had planned always grinds a little but I got the worst of it out of the way and will be back on the task list tomorrow.
The evening was full of love and lovely people as it was the fundraising event For the Love of Gordon. I worked the bar with Éveline and there was a lot of business for a Tuesday night! Everyone was in such a good mood. There was a silent auction and I bid on and won a picture for my brother’s 60th birthday. That isn’t for three years but when you see the perfect gift for the guy who has everything and the proceeds are going to support a dear friend, you take the leap. My half brother was born in the St Eugene Hospital which later became the Tudor House hotel. I partied there back in the day. It was a crazy biker bar. Once upon a time I was watching a documentary about the building when they said the Tudor house started life as an insane asylum. Of course, as the perfect big sister, I had to call and tease him about being born there. The beauty of this limited edition piece of art is that it is framed in wood from the original building. How special is that?!!! Now I will have to see if I can wait to give it to him for his 60th or if he will get it for his 57th, this year.
