Long Time No Write!

Well its been forever since I have done any blogging. Apparently I am not as deligent in keeping this up as I had hoped to be! Oh well....guess I will strive for progress and not perfection haha

So much has happened since I last blogged I can't even think where to begin. I said good bye to an old friend last week. She passed away from pancreatic cancer. It was very sad and so hard on the family. I will say it never ceases to amaze me the will of the human spirit! The doctors said she would have less then a week...she lasted over 3 weeks...she was not ready to go and fought it with everything she had..unfortunately she had a very painful exit from this life...I pray she is now at peace and her family can start healing....

I went to Fredericton on Thanksgiving weekend with my best friend and her family. Her sister was celebrating her 25th wedding anniversary...complete with renewal ceremony, dance, meal..the whole thing! I have to say it was one of the most heart touching ceromonies I have ever heard! Not a dry eye in the place! It was truely beautiful. All the family was there too..her parents from NS, brother and his wife from BC her sister fro Lithuania...it was wonderful...UNTIL...............after the ceremony and dance the food was getting ready to be brought out and the dancing going to start when someone behind said "did you hear a lady fell down the back steps".........oh yeah! It was their poor mom! Ambulance was called and we spent the remainder of the evening (until 3am) at the hospital...a broken left ankle and 3 broken bones on her right foot! Now get this...They put her broken ankle in a cast wrapped the other foot and said have a safe trip home get in touch with your doctor! Can you believe that! There was no way she could get home in their van....her husbans is in a wheelchair and the back of van is equipped to accomodate that...so they ended up having to pay $2400 out of their own pocket for an ambulance to come from NS to get her and bring her home! And less then a week later her own doctor determined she actually needs surgery to repair the ankle! I was furious! They are like my own parents to me! That is just plain inexcusable...not sure what will come of that but I will keep you posted...

My family celebrated Thanksgiving this past weekend..a week late but still fun. Of course we all ate way to much and then all wanted a nap haha...it is always fun when the families get together. I am very blessed that my daughter in law's family includes me and my youngest son in everything..we celebrate all the holidays together, have family fun days...its great! You hear so many stories about "outlaws" and such..I'm happy to say that is not the case with us!

Now...I do have some exciting news to share but unfortunately I have been temporarily sworn to secrecy....so stay tuned! haha

I'll be back! haha
