Just a birthday wish for my Bluey

Hey its Joyce's Birthday on May 26

I just reread what we were doing last year at this time and though I would repost this little excerpt

"I'm so lucky that Joyce is able to be here to help me through this. She is so good at her job they had no second thoughts giving her 5 months off to care for me. She is strong about making me take meds I don't like including water every ten minutes. She can drive like the wind and get me to the clinic in record time while I'm raving with a temp of 40 degrees and not panic or be anything but totoally calm and reassuring. She can wait and wait and (wait for it)...................wait with me at the doctors offices all the while inventing new ways to amuse me. Have I told you latelly how great Joyce is? Thanks Joyce, I love youlots and lots more laterChris"

Hope you Calgarians can help us celebrate her BD

On the road again

Well I have been totally absorbed by life in Hervey Bay and have not blogged in eons. But you, gentle readers have been busy too.

Arleen Hobbs has an exhibition of her watercolors up in Calgary (that we are going to see). Decidely Jazz Danceworks are doing a show in Calgary (that we are going to see). Cole and Emily Evans are taking art classes (and we are going to see their work) Mark has been busy getting well AND cleaning the garage (which are going to check on ourselves) Kathy has been opening businesses and closing businesses and goodness knows what else. (We don't get to see that but we are going to get to see her and Cory and Devon). Regan and Travis are getting more more in love and are tying their abundant love in knots (which we are honoured to be witnessing). John and Marleen and Nicole are close to having their home finished (which we get to see)

Mike and Gayla are doing stuff (which we get to share in) Derrek is going to tell us what he's been doing (to our face)

I'm tapping this up in the China Airlines lounge in Taipei on the way to Canada. Woooohooo
much more later
Chris

Oh and on a sad note, the owner of the little fruit stand near our house, Jimmy Barlow has very recently passed on and will be buried beside his wife under the angel he erected on their hill. He will be missed.
