After all the effort of returning to your vehicle, I hope the meal was excellent.
I intended to email to you a "Merry Christmas". But .. too many phone calls from one son, Ian, then "Our Granddaughter Dr. Sarah" now residing on V Island fairly close to son
Graham and Ana, now all three women are working in the same hospital in Duncan. It was a special surprise to hear Sarah say "Merry Christmas Grandma" when I answered the phone.
we talked for well over a half hour, she is so happy being on the "Beautiful Island”, and "just loves working in the "Amazing hospital" all quite different from Saskatoon!!
Ray and Kathy collected me in the afternoon to drive to Smiths Falls for a special meal at an excellent Chinese restaurant which advertised they are open at 4.30pm. They did not open, we
were not the only vehicles waiting. We drove through and around the town, every eatery closed, the only one open was Popeye’s, a kind of McDonald's who only sell chicken etc:
The various chicken meals were excellent, I had a large chicken breast that was covered in a crispy batter (which of course I could only taste and not eat!). The chicken was delicious ,
just slightly moist and tasty, I brought half home and the next meal I added greenery and sweet potato, just as good. Ray and Kathy ordered slightly different meals , but just as excellent.
On the way home we laughed about our "Odd Christmas dinner". The next day Kathy cooked their Turkey to feed the 10 people of different ages which now make their extended Family.
Christmas day alone was tiring until the phone was ringing in late evening. Canada is just too enormous for Family times.
