It's cool outside approx/ -5deg c. but warm in our hearts!
We took all of Nana's flowers over to her place. By the way she wanted to say thanks again to all who sent her flowers, she says that it was a real "pick me up". We also took over some groceries, since she was away from home for 2 weeks ( and I threw out her milk, etc.). We made periodic visits to her place whilst she was here in order to feed Oscar the fish and pick up the mail. Mother said that last night she went downstairs (at the manor) to play cards and she was getting hugs from everyone,as they were so glad to see her. The sad truth is that when most of the older ladies have to go to the hospital for an extended period, they do not come back. They either graduate to a nursing home or, well, they just don't come back. The manager at the manor is having Mom's meals delivered to her door, so she doesn't have to go to the dining-room. The girl who cleans her palatial suite comes Saturday morning and the woman who gives Mom a bath was there this afternoon. Mom is really doing well at the manor and has lots of friends there and HELLO, HELLO, she is not ready for a nursing home yet! I figure that if she has her wits about her and is in as good health (as good as possible for 85) she should stay there. She will talk once in a while of wanting to go to a nursing home but I know she will not be happy there....not yet anyway.
After we dropped off the stuff at Nana's, we went to the Museum of Man & Nature. This is a fabulous museum, placed in the very heart of downtown metropolitan Winnipeg, serving Winnipeg and its environs for over 25 years. It truly is a "must see" for every traveller, from the nubie tourist to the veteran wanderer. They have woderful dioramas from "Buffalo hunting" to "urban galleries" to "The Non-such" to the newest gallery...."The Grasslands". From there we travelled down the picturesque Water street across the new bridge to the French Quarter and onto a woderful little parkway called St. Mary's Road.......and back to our little house on the prairie........the vast wonderful prairie where.....well you get the picture......we went to the museum and then came home.
the dog was here...we went for a workout...Catherine went for her Hip-Hop class...we ate...watched TV for a while....we went to bed ...after we let the dog out.
Yawn, ....good-night
