CLOSED DOORS

I am up early and it is a dull and gray morning,  My breakfast was brought in last night bread and yogurt and orange juice,  I am thankful I have milk and cereal here.

Everyone is hiding behind closed doors.  I miss talking to people.  

Did I mention the dentist wants to put me in the hospital for a day to have my teeth pulled?

Rick and Spenser are on the way here.

TRAVELERS

 Leah has now left to travel to Egypt ,  Hope she has a wonderful time.  Craig is looking after the kids and he does it very well.

Carol and Panteli are traveling to the States to attend a healing course,

Sandra and I are traveling to a dental clinic.  I am nervous as usual.

I  do my morning walk and discover three of my best friends are now sick

Meals will be brought to my room.  No one is walking about

I do my traveling by reading.  I am reading .  

"The Talented Mr. Varc."

My brother is now sick with the virus and is in hospital.  He hopes to be out in a few days,  He sounds pretty good.

OPEN

LEAH came to give me my B12 

She is  excited about going to Egypt and seeing the sights. She came into money and can now do something she always wanted to do; 

Also had a long talk with Ken,  Happy he and Melina are both doing well.  His animals keep him busy,  Rick came without Spenser as he was all tired out,

The girl brought me a bagged lunch last night for my breakfast'  A piece of bread and some yogurt and fruit.  She came just now an brought me coffee.  So I will be getting 3 meals a day,  I will stop gaining weight I hope.

I will put on a mask and go walking around.  All is very quiet.  Thankful I have lots of books to read.

There is a sign on the amazing blind ladies door saying she has  caught the bug

Another old lady does not understand why she has to wear a mask and stay in her room.  She ways she is not sick.  

No fun getting old,

FAMILY

 We had great fun gathering as a family at Sandra and Randy's home,  Leah and Craig's children were the youngest.  Three tables were put together to make one long table.  Morgan came from school on the Island to join us.  Hamlet also joined us from the States.  Theresa and   Corrine from Chillwack.

Lots of good food.  A turkey for sure and lots of pumpkin and apple pies. Everything was delicious, 

This morning breakfast was supposed to be delivered,  At 10 to 9 a cool cup of tea was delivered,  I guess they have to iron out some bugs,

I hope Rick and Leah are allowed to visit,

REMEMBER

 I have decided to make more of an effort to remember my experiences.  I have found myself saying I do not remember. When I think about dad I do not want to remember the sad times.  It was hard to say good bye for the last time but I new he was ready to leave.

It was the first thanksgiving without him. Lots of great memories,

I am making good memories here at the Villa.  I enjoy going to meals and chatting with Jeane and Ken.  I know I am having a positive affect on them both. I know it is not easy to have to start to live your life on your own.

We have to wear masks now as there is COVD in the staff and residences.  Meals will be delivered.

All meals,

I am looking forward to being with my amazing happy family.

FALL COLOURS.

 

Sandra took this picture of just one of the colourful trees I see from my window.  We had a grand time going shopping.  New clothes and some new books.  I am looking forward to seeing family to morrow.

On arrival back home everyone has to wear masks because several cases of COVID have been identified.  Lunch and dinner will be brought to our rooms and this started with supper tonight.  They will continue to test people,

Visitors will be required to wear personal protective clothing.

I think I will be able to go out but we will wait and see in the morning.

Several cases have been found in the staff and residences.

Thankful I have T.V,   I had a wonderful day,

EARLY

I am up very early watching the sun come up. It is going to be another beautiful fall day. The leaves are clinging to their branches, soon the wind and the rain will forse them to fall to the ground. My hair is a mess. The hairdresser wanted to cut it and I said no. she did not do a good job styling it. The new lady at our table is very depressed. she has been separated from her husband, I share with her that I know how she feels. Sandra and I are going shopping for somethimng new for me to wear. I do not have a lot of energy but am hopeful we will succesd. I am lazy this morning but will make myself go for a short journey and enjoy the fresh air. I voted.
