GOOD FRIENDS


Yes I am joining the ranks of those who forget things. Last week at our luncheon we wrapped presents for women who are homeless and alone. Today we were to do the same at our final meeting of Jetlag; and I had forgotten. We are driving out to Chilliwack for Ben's big day and to see Morgan on video.
Yesterday did not neatly follow a plan that I had figured out in my head. Our elderly friend we found out has been in the hospital with pneumonia and thankfully is home now recovering. We will still try to visit but her daughter is the best visiter for now.
Larry arrived home with a small tree but it still made a big mess. Be thankful you have a vacuun I was told. In the middle of the mess Cathy our neighbor arrived to tell us news about her husband still in hospital still under going tests. He was to have another spinal test yesterday so she took the morning off and was going in at lunch time. Things like this really put life back into perspective about what is really important. We had a good visit and she seemed to relax just being with us and even managed to laugh with us.
Larry's best friend from childhood phoned to see if we could get together when they come out to visit another friend at Whistler. I know we will be busy when our family arrives from Edmonton and busy trying to see others who may not be able to come for Christmas Eve. We have not heard from Leah and Craig nor from Chris. They are waiting to see how plans work out with other in their family; which we understand.

well, have fun out in Chilliwack. Do they still have snow out there? Mary and Micheal John have snow now. But they are sad because Molly may have to be put to sleep as she is sick and they cant afford to pay for an operation. They will find out in a couple of days though.
