'Won't it be a great day when the Air Force has to hold bake sales to get a new bomber and the schools have all the money they need?'" --Charles Gibson

Hello....It is Monday and the temperature is -10 deg c. That is 3 flibertys on the flibertiggibit scale. It was really mild this weekend and on Saturday it was raining!
This AM Catherine and I went downtown to (1) get my bloodwork done at the Winnipeg Clinic and, (2) go for breakfast at the Paddlewheel Restaurant and do some shopping at the Bay (big sale!). It was deserted at the Bay, I guess because it has been snowing and the streets look slippery...not the case really.
Catherine has gone out for lunch with her friend Diana Fabas-Pirie...I like that name, it sounds so aristocratic. She too, is retiring at the end of the school year. She is a principal at a school in Tuxedo school division, now called Pembina Trails ( a name she recommended). I think it is a good thing for her to be retiring now because (1) she had breast cancer two years ago that had spread to her lymph glands and (2) her hubby Doug (who is has been retired for about 4 years now) has had three heart attacks including a bypass. Ya gotta take life as it comes but you ony get one chance and you might as well enjoy it while you can!
Having a heart attack really changes your outlook on life. You get to peek on the other side of the hill and its not pretty. I am not feeling sorry for myself...the minute I feel sorry for my lot I think of the blind guy at the Reh-fit centre or the guy I saw this AM hobbling down the street his body wracked with MS. Life is what you make it so make it good.
I envy Gary and his ability to travel all over the place in his RV. Life is an adventure for him...always something new to see and do. I am glad that Carol is well enough to travel with him, since she had breast cancer too and suffers from arthritis. And Chuffer the wonder dog has his second wind and still rules the RV!
I enjoy reading the blogs, especially Joel's...he is a good writer. I hope all is well with his parents...they are in the Pilippines on a vacation... It has been raining there quite a bit and it has caused a lot of destruction.
Well, today is a workout day...better go and carb up!
debeyah, debeyah, debeyah...thats all folks!
