Finally I have just read your Bouncing Back writings; way back to planting trees, then all the Almonte Associations etc:, but of course not all at the same time!
The Medical history has been serious from which indeed you have "Bounced Back". May you continue to do so in the coming years.
Today I had a sewing Day, part of the time was spent trying to adjust my main machine's "stitching problems". Eventually I managed to make it work so the material, when finished, will look professionally made. It is becoming an "Advent" calendar for the now four children, the third boy is just born, who live in Our Clayton house.
I started sewing to take my mind off the dreadful 3 day storm on Vancouver Island. Graham and Ana live 1 1/2 hours north of Victoria on the East side of the Island, almost overlooking "Saltspring Island". Their property has many enormous old trees and so far no space to build a garage for their two vehicles, at the base of the long steep driveway. No Hydro means "no computers" from which to work from home. At least they have a large wood stove and plenty of wood to keep them warm, a BBQ in a protected corner outside the dining area. That end of the house is protected by enormous rocks higher than the roof.
Thankfully I can visualize the property, but anything can happen in those circumstances.
I also have managed to Bounce Back over the years after a number of unfortunate circumstances; I try not to remember them and always look to the positive side of life.
I spoke to Ian on Sunday, they have just bought a 6 year old house at the far end of Wolfville surrounded by fields and trees. It has two bedrooms , two bathrooms but no basement, with space for Alex during the summer holidays, He swims twice a day at Acadia's pool and is enjoying working hard at his studies. He can cycle to the new house once they move just after Christmas.
At least one son has good news after searching all around that area for over 3 months, very few places for sale at all.
I can just pray that G and A, also Tonny's Grand-daughter, Dr Sarah all survive well on the Island once all debry is cleared and Hydro returns.
Looking forward to Bouncing Back once more!
