Saturday morning I got up 5am, and looked up a YouTube video
Doug, a friend at work had made. He made
it a few years ago after his son died in a car accident. Was a very heartfelt
video, and I watched it twice as he spoke at first to explain why he made the
video, and then he sang a song he wrote that he hopes will help some. You can take a listen at Know one knows
Also went to a video I have watched before, made as a man I
knew was going through the last days of his life. He started out thinking he
was going to have a possibility of a cure for his lung disease, and as it goes
on he realises the disease is terminal. Was a good morning for me to have some introspection.
Saturday afternoon we went to Courtenay for Claudette's
Birthday celebration, she didn't expect us, and had a plan to go to the legion
in Comox. We had a fun time in the afternoon at the Legion with C&A, and
then back to their place for a couple of Margaritas. Later we went out to
dinner at a Chinese buffet restaurant, Claudette had arranged this already, as
she celebrates with her friend Cindy who has her B Day on the same day. Many of
their friends were there, and more kept coming. Full is how we felt when we
left, and back to C&A's place to have cake Polly had made for Claudette. Cake
was a hit, but the candle was a fun time, made a huge flame to start, then
opened up to a candelabra.... Was fun to watch Claudette and Polly as the
flames came and the candle opened, then as we all sung Happy B Day, the smoke
detector went off, and what a laugh we all had.
No one had much jump left after the big dinner, so a few ate
a piece of cake, and then a smooth transition toward the door, as we all were
tired, and would make our way to bed. Food does slow us all down. Not as I had
expected, but we did enjoy a few laughs with everyone, and had a good visit
with Ron and Barb as we were seated across from them at dinner. Got a few likes
from people during the night about the blog written, and pictures of our trip
to San Francisco.
Bed Early, and up at 5am, and so was Americo, which
surprised me. Then not long after Polly gets up, and we realised that they had
a plan to go to PA that day for celebration of her B day with family, so we
left early and enjoyed a relaxed trip down the old highway to Parksville before
we joined the rush on the Island Highway. Was a nice day to travel,
we stopped a few times and checked out a few campsite possibility's for the
future, looks like we would like the Qualicum Bay Native site sometime this
spring/summer.
This week I am Dayshift as a trade with another worker made
my week days rather than afternoons, and for this I will be able to enjoy the
Ladysmith Lightup, which I do like. Dinner this time will be at the Legion as I
see they have a Cabbage roll and Perogie dinner, and would like to support our
Legion, and try something different this year, we usually go to the Spaghetti
Dinner at the Eagles.
Work has been better this last week, the boss has left us
alone, and stayed out of our way most of the week. Makes life just a little
better. Looking forward to this week, and hope all goes well, and he stays in
the office.
