Missinglisa

On Tuesday, we fly to Ottawa.  If Cevyn has not delivered, she will be induced on Thursday.  My beautiful granddaughter amazes me every day.  She is carrying close to 12 pounds of babies but is as...

I always feel a bit sad when I get home after our retreat. Yesterday I spent the day unpacking and doing laundry.  Today, I was in a bit of a funk.  It was cold, dull and the streets were icy.  I...

I am back home in the North Country!  It is chilly but at least the sun is shining and the snow melted. What a wonderful retreat we had.  I am trying to absorb it all.  It will take awhile!  I...

I just got a text from my granddaughter.  As you may have heard, she is expecting twins on the 10th of next month.  She had an ultrasound and saw her obstetrician yesterday and apparently, she is...

Well actually, technically I haven't been a nurse for quite 50 years.  But I did graduate 50 years ago!  I spent the last 3 days at the hot springs resort in Fairmont British Columbia with 9 of my...

This is the first journal on the new site.  I don't see a way to increase the size so please use a magnifying glass or strong glasses if you wish to read.I am not able to sleep right now.  I went...

It is truly green where I am sitting.  I am at Lisa's best friend's house in the woods in Eastern Ontario.  I was sitting out at 4:30 am this morning  listening to birds chirping.  And Lisa came...

When I am down and teary, Joe will ask me if I am okay.  I tell him "I'm thinking".  He knows what I mean.  After 6 years it still hurts him that he can't make it better. But this evening,  I am...

Another Mothers Day has come and almost gone.  I am always emotional on special days. It sort of kicks me in the stomach. Cevyn does not have the mom who loves her more than anything.  Cevyn was...

I got a message informing me that it is bereaved mothers' day.  I didn't know we had a day! Wishing all my SOTH a day filled with love and peace. 

I have survived another birthday.  I thought about the birthdays past.  I remember the year that I drove 2o miles during a blizzard to pick up Lisa's friends for the party.  We had just moved and...

Wishing all my FMO friends love, peace and joy this Easter Sunday! 

I am finally over the flu that I managed to bring home from Portugal.  I rarely get sick so was really out of sorts! I am finishing my yearly job - interviewing nursing home residents.  It is a...

I am rambling again.  I won't be insulted if you chose not to read this journal.We arrived home on Tuesday and I am actually not really feeling jet lagged.  The downside is,  I have a rotten...

  As many of my SOTH, I have been busy since the new year began.  Once a year, I do resident satisfaction surveys for the organization where I used to work.  I am not used to getting up early and...
