INTELLIGENCE

 There needs to be an intelligent reasonable approach to solving the problems that the world is facing right now.
It is time to be more educated about the culture and values of other races.  Killing one another does not seem to be the answer. Can we instead become passionate in our intellectualism.  Right now there seems to be a lot of differences that drive people apart.

Can intelligence overcome hatred?

It was wonderful to wake up and greet the sun waking up too, instead of hiding in those big old clouds.  I went for an early walk and dad went for a bike ride in the afternoon.  He did not go into the Water Shed park where he went yesterday and his motor quit at the bottom of a hill.  He was in a right pickle no way he could even walk up the hill if his bike motor did not start.  Thankfully it did. 

I drove myself to the Senior's Home because I need to be driving more to regain confidence.  I arrived at the Home to find Jim has been sent to hospital which did not surprise me.  I will not be visiting him there until I know more.

I met a new lady and she would like me to visit with her.  I had my visit with Joyce which is always enjoyable.  We sat and enjoyed the view out her window of the lawn and trees and cars going by on the road beyond.

Dad has an appointment with the specialist in New Westminster on Jan. 6.  That is good news.
That is not bad in this part of the world.  We have to keep trying all we can to see if we can find answers.

Our day was not over as Sandra came to pick us up and drive us to an art fair in Tsawwassen.
So many talented people with a rich varity of  styles and colors.  Dad found a little picture of baby owls on a log he fell in love with.  We had supper out together with Panteli and Carol.

Another interesting day.

I wish that the problems of today could be resolved...but I truly don't think that is going to happen. It seems as though the unrest, shootings, bombings and hostage taking is just becoming worse. There is so much hatred and many religious zealots.

So glad Larry has an appointent with a specialist. Having on going pain is so debilitating.

What a lovely day you had yesterday, going to an art exhibition and out for supper with your family. The painting of owls just reminded me of one I did years ago ....I am going to look it out and teach it to my art group.

Good for you Beth, driving yourself to do your visiting. You are so loyal to your friends in the nursing home. I am going to ask one of my piano students if she will come with me to play for the residents at the nursing home in Pine Falls. I have been teaching her Christmas carols. I play the secondo ( duet ) part with her...we have so much fun. She is 10 and a lovely child...her GRandparents are raising her. Many kids her age are intimidated to be playing the piano along with their teacher...but not her...she really enjoys it.

Wishing you both a great day,

Love, Nancy

I am glad I was able to make it last night. If my conference had run as long as it was suppose to I would have been too tired. Plus it takes me about an hour every night to feed all the cats and clean all the kitty litter boxes and switch out their towels. Usually do a quick vacuum as well.

Ken, that must be so tiring waiting to finish your day.

Sounds like Melina is better. She is very busy too!

Dad and I want to shop for slippers today.
His feet are worse this morning.
I remind him to take his vitamins.
