What a beautiful day..+9 today and sunshine..Had to go into town for finally T4 stuff...got that done and then went to the Pool for an hour, just about wore me right out... and then 10 minutes in the hot tub... which was really nice...then to the bank to deposit Desert Mesa stuff and then home... had lunch and then fell asleep for half an hour... i knew that i would.. always do when i haven't been to the pool for awhile..trying to get into shape...
Larry and i went to Kamloops on Friday to visit an old couple that have been our friends for almost 40 years... they are 86 now.. Elsie had a couple of heart attacks and then had a stroke and is in an assisted living home, and her Hubby Danny lives in a seniors apartment right next door to the home... her new home is brand new and very lovely.. bright and shining..she is sharing a large twin room with her sister, which is good for both of them... Elsie lost her voice with the stroke and Florence can't walk too good, so Elsie does the hard things for Florence and Florence talks for Elsie...we had lunch with them, in a lovely private dining area... and as we were having lunch..9 beautiful Mule Deer walked thru the back lawn of the home..they were so special, especially for the old folks..Danny has always been really bossy, although when Elsie had her voice, she didn't take any guff from him, but now he does all the talking... Larry took him out for a bit, and i really enjoyed it as us girls could have a nice chat... well Florence and i talked and Elsie listened... Elsie taught me just about every thing i know about living on a ranch...how to make butter, milk a cow, kill a chicken, make cottage cheese, and ice cream, and i still use a lot of her recipes... her Spud Nut doughnut recipe is to die for...it breaks my heart that she can't talk...
Still working on the last shawl... girls at the Dream Spin suggested i use stitch markers to keep track of my stitches, and it works like a hot damn..thanks you guys..only got 400 yards of yarn left, so will have to call it quits soon, then i have a couple more to do for 60th birthdays... one to do for my friend living in the bush and Annie gave me some spun wool, beautiful coral colour, thought i would make another one for my mom..."feroses" spelling ..
Jesse and i are off to Agility trial on Sunday...15 of Maureen's class will be there...should be a good day... Jesse and I are doing better as we have been at it for 18 months.. I have quit taking Dixie as she just likes to visit... so Larry has been taking her to town with him... she just jumps in the truck when he warms it up... what a pair.... take care will write soon...
