We were very surprised how Haiti took to Ophelia right away.
She was extremely curious and wanted to smell and like her.
Ophelia just kept playing with her toys and moving around and even went to lean on Haiti but that startled Haiti so she jumped away.
We fed her some scrambled eggs while we waited for Craig to arrive after a tortuous traffic mess.
This is the car dad had a ride in. He was aching from his toes to his knees but knew if he did not say yeas T.J. would stop asking. They both looked very young and dashing. The plan was to go for a drink at Boundary Bay Airport but to their surprise it was not open. T.J. said I know a nice little place on the way home. It was the River Inn and was just telling him that is where the old x air traffic controllers meet every second month as they walked in the door. Dad pointed to the corner where they would always sit and there was a group of older men sitting telling tales of past glories.
What a surprise! It was his group of x controllers surprised to see him as they were to see them. There was handshakes all around and lots of laughter. Dad was so very pleased to see them all!
Unbelievable!
Today I visited Vera who is now home from hospital and doing well. The thing is she just does not feel like her lively old self. A broken hip and surgery has really changed her personality to out going to fearful of falling. I could relate tho that.
Dad had gone and got his hearing test, a much more in depth one than mine but it was no surprise when he came to pick me up I was not in the right place. When you are hot and tired this is very annoying. But I soon showed up.
Panteli dropped by to surprise Haiti and take her home. It was good timing as it gets too warm to walk her in the afternoon and the mucky heat makes one feeling lazy.
An ancient tale from scripture about two disciples who were surprised on the road leaving Jerusalem on the way to Emmaus. Feeling very sad and dejected after the death of Jesus they were joined by a mysterious stranger who they did not recognize. They were totally dejected. They invite him to eat with him and as he breaks the bread their eyes are opened and they know who he is. This was a dramatic surprise which would transform the lives of these men and the others they would tell.
Unbelievable!
A good day ended with a visit with Craig.
Look who is in the toy basket!

She looks quite content in that basket. Nice Benz, must have been a fun time for Grandpa. Hope all is well and thanks again.
That is a wonderful surprise, I guess it was just meant to be that dad said yes. Do they meet there often, or was it just very random.
I am very much looking forward to the cool air and maybe even rain on Sunday!

Awe, just look at her playing in the basket. The simplest toys are often the best aren't they Beth?
I had a physician in my class yesterday called Beth.
Scrambled eggs are always a good choice for little kids...that is so nice of you both to look after her until Craig is finished work and can pick her up. Good for you and good for them! she really is cute! Is she walking yet? Boy, you will have to be fast on your feet to keep up with her then!
The traffic in Winnipeg was usually bad too, on Tuesday. I had to drive across town and back and it was so congested with a lot of construction and lanes blocked off. Had to be very patient. I am glad we won't have to go to Winnipeg this coming week because I have enough paint and paper for the next class. YAY!
I am going to teach one of my students at her historic cottage...it is now, just as it was when it was built 100 years ago. They have upkept it, but it is original and along the lake. Jeanne has come to all my classes and we really hit it off...so i thought it would be nice to offer her a free class before she heads back to sit on the bench in Edmonton where she is a judge. Lovely lady. I think we will stay as friends.
I am so glad that you are back on line with your blog..really missed it when you didn't have the internet Beth!
I hear that you are expecting cooler weather and when it is cool there it often is hot here and they say it is coming again. Sure glad the airconditioner still works after Carl tipped it on it's side and all the water inside went on the controls. I left it alone..didn't start it up for a few days and it dried out and works just fine. WHEW!
I hope the smoke goes away too...you have had some awfully smokey days and that must be hard on Larry's asthma.
Have a lovely evening,
Love to you both,
Nancy
Surprised at all my comments!
Love Beth
