Hello, today is Tuesday. Around zero today but sunny and mild for the rest of the week. Should be 8/9 deg c Wed, Thurs, and Friday. Egads! Gadzooks! Shazbot! Break out the golf clubs Mamma, cause Daddy's gonna play around!
Tea and Tiffin on April 17th...
Lyn and her beau, Al Barber will be tying the knot on the afternoon of April 17th, 2004. Of course her favourite uncle will be there......ME.....I just made reservations with the good people at West-Jet for a one-way ticket to Palookaville...er round trip Victoria! I can't wait to see the little shining faces of my nieces and nephews! I shall have to start practicing phrases such as, "My how you have grown!" and "I haven't seen you since you were this high (pointing to my knee)"! "Does that suit come in your size?"nonono wrong party..." Is that your nose or are you eating a banana?"nononono wrong party. Well, I said that I would have to practice!!!
They mapped the human genome faster 'n this!.....
I spent most of the day yesterday sitting with Mother in the Emergency at the Winnipeg General Hospital! Waiting because she had to have the packing removed from her nose! 5 1/2 hours and three feet of gauze later.....and we were done. It only took 10 minutes to take the gauze out. Man if you ran a business like that!!!!!! Crap, and on Friday when she had to go in to emergency because she had a nosebleed it was another 5 1/2 hours! 11 hours of waiting to pack and unpack her nose (20 minutes work). Anyhow, we would have gone elsewhere to get her unpacked but they insisted that we go back there. I did think ( and so did Mother) that her nose would start bleeding the moment the gauze was removed.....but it did not. The thing about having old Parents is this...you never know when they will need to go to the hospital...its always in the back of your mind, no matter what plans you are making! Of course life is what happens to you while you are busy making plans!
Well, supper is on, better go ...keep on blogging!
