THE VISITS

Yes dad and I enjoyed our visit with Oliver.  There was a lot of catching up to do.  He is on holidays for awhile and then back to work up north on the McKenzie River. He works very long hours at a demanding job and is hopeful that he will get on the Coast Guard as a first mate.  He will be going back to school when he returns home in December.  There they sat shoulder to shoulder telling adventurous stories.  The visit soon ended as he had others to visit.  We appreciated his thoughtfulness in spending time with us,

I have great memories of him when he was little and I helped to look after him.

After he left we sat outside and read and dad did his puzzles.  I fell asleep.

Then we had another visit from a new young girl who I believe may have moved into Gundy's house.  She came to apologize for not cleaning up after her dog.  I had left a sign on the lawn because others have been doing this and I was annoyed.  Too bad to meet a new neighbor this way but how nice of her to cone and tell us it was her.

I will visit the eye doctor to-morrow and then after I have glasses will be legal to drive.

We look forward to Rick's visit on the 4th for Ophelia's birthday.  I will make sure he has some pain pills as kidney stone attacks are dreadfully painful.  Did he tell his doctor about these I wonder.

We finished the day with a trip to Shoppers which has become our Thursday outing.

Our lives are a precious gift and every visit warms our hearts with love and thankfulness.

We are not here by accident but by some divine design which I believe includes a spiritual purpose to help each other find their path through life.

My day ended by reading the comments on my blog which I feel are like visits too!

Oliver leaves with a quick wave as he walks to his truck!
