WILD

The wind nearly blew me away as I opened the door to grab the struggling paper girl coming up the walk. It was also raining very, very hard.  It was too wild to be captured by the camera.

I figured it would be a day just to stay in and read but by noon the wind and rain had stopped and the sun was out.

I had a short walk and dad decided to go for a bike ride. He never made it out of the driveway.  It started going too  fast and he put the brakes on and it stopped suddenly, too suddenly sending him over the handle bars.  A bloody elbow and knee and hurt shoulder was the result.
He stumbled in the house in shock and disappointment.  Very traumatic!
Instead of a wild ride in the forest he spent the afternoon reading and so did I.

We watched the baseball and now the hockey.

We are suppose to be getting more wild weather.  It is amazing how the weather can change in one day.  We have to continue to live with hope and patience and a willingness to keep trying.

Our lives, our world is changing.

Sorry to hear dad had a tumble. It was so nice out in the afternoon. But if all he gots was bumps and bruises then that is something to be thankful for.

Randy is off from work again today with his cold. He sounds better and I am sure he will got over it faster than I did.

Sorry to hear about Dad's tumble over the handle-bars. Hopefully he will be back riding in a few weeks.

Love,

Hope Dad is feeling better. A Canucks shut out win would make him feel better. Kids got their Halloween cards thank you.
