Hi there. I spent the day in Ottawa today with my sister while she had her Dr. appointment and treatment. It brought back alot of memories of the days that Don and I sat down there waiting for the next cocktail. It is also sad sitting there watching all the young people who are in different stages of treatment. We had a good day, well at least I had a good day. We spent alot of time catching up with family. She is a strong willed woman I'll tell ya, alot like our mother.
I was commenting to a friend how the majority of the clients in the waiting room were in their fifties and only a couple were in their seventies or eighties. Hmm, times are a changing. Thinking also of my older brother who is also battling his illness. Good luck to him.
I was supposed to go to Foley Mountain near Westport tomorrow with Gracie, on a field trip, only I don't have the results of my police check yet (had to get one for my volunteer job at the Salvation Army). I called Sarah to say that I could pick up the results tomorrow and drive to Westport. As it turns out, I don't have to go and this is a result of Sarah telling Gracie that Foley Mountain wasn't as high as she thought. You see, I took Gracie and King over the Rainbow Bridge in Stewart Park and unbeknownst to me, Gracie was scared and thought it was really high. She thought Foley Mountain was as high or higher and wanted Grandma to go with her, I guess to climb this monster with her. Once Sarah explained that it was just a name and that she wouldn't have to climb the mountain, I lost my seat to Kenzie, Gracie's friend. I forgot how little minds work. How cute. I think I will sleep in tomorrow and not get dressed until.....well....maybe never....ahhhh, retirement is wonderful.
Till next time...
