Dallas Trip 2007 March 26 to April 01

Or, as they call it in the US, Veterans Day. I think it is similiar to ANZAC Day (25 April) celebrated in Australia and New Zealand. A time when we remember. And we must remember and say 'thank... The End of October musings
Well, I did not get to Nova Scotia. Sigh. Today I would have been flying home. Instead I am photocopying completed forms to get a refund for my Mom's and my air fare. Thank God for... A wonderful weekend

 WHITE STUFF on my front lawn. Clean white stuff. AWFUL white stuff. It went to -7 C last night (okay 19.4 F) and the rain didn't have a chance. Ugly ugly ugly. BUT it is to go to + 7 C today... Apologies to MacToo
Well last night I did it. I killed it. I know MacToo won't be happy but I couldn't keep it forever. And I cannot use it again. The daylight is here until after 8 pm and it is taking up far... Man what an emotional day today is (written on Friday, April 21)
And not for the reasons I expected it to be. Excuse me for dumping but hey, that is what the blog is here for. It is an exciting time, too, though. This morning I took my 90 year old Mom to... A sad week
Here it is April 19th. For almost 2 weeks now the family have been very upset. My family? No, not the blood relatives. I'm talking about my "family" here on tv.com. Without warning, Ross_99,... Groundhog Day, 2006
It was my birthday last Thursday, February 2nd. What was to be a quiet celebration with another couple on the Friday went from a dinner to an evening beyond my dreams. Here is what happened: ... It's been a week now

Most of what has happened can be found in CHIT CHAT. Spent 4 days at my dying father's side - a hard thing to do but one that I would not have missed. His funeral is on Tuesday right after... Now it is September
A lot has happened in the month since I wrote. It hasn't been the best of times. On August 9th when I wrote we could see our son, Graham, going downhill and, as you may remember, he died on... A new entry? lol - my first entry!
It is Tuesday and my husband left early today as he had to drive 1.5 hours to the job site. He'll pop in to see my folks today. Here in northern Ontario it is another hot day. I am so glad for...
