Lil0, if you already planting then I should be able to do so soon too.
Kat, I hope one of your neighbours see you working on the ditch and gets off their assets to give you a hand.
OC, thank you for asking. I haven’t spoken to him since I took him to his appointment a few weeks ago but will be heading down on Wednesday night next week to take him to his appointment on Thursday the 11th. He will find out then if his sight is ok and able to continue to drive. My feeling is that he will be told he cannot drive anymore because the little strokes have been happening in his good eye. Poor guy. But the good news is he has a product, that he purchased through the Canadian Institute for the Blind, which magnifies 15Xs.
He became blind in his right eye years ago after being electrocuted by a power line that snapped when the air balloon he was in was trying to land. Crazy story but the wind picked up and blew them into a power line and snapping it . The end of the power line connected with my dad’s right hand and the electricity went up his arm, across his chest just missing his heart and the exit point of the electricity went out of his upper left arm. The result of this accident made him blind in his right eye, had to have skin grafting on his face for the burns and it left a big indentation in his left arm. It kind of looks like a big animal bite taking out a chunk of his left arm. He used to tell kids that this is where a grizzly bear bit him. LOL! I‘m 46 now and this happened on their anniversary when I was about 10 or so. Sorry, I kind of went on a tangent but it really is a remarkable story. And his ever loving family gave to him as a constant reminder of this accident a framed photo of the air balloon that almost killed him and a Christmas tree ornament of a teddy bear in an air balloon. LOL! It’s our family…….if it doesn’t kill you, you’re fair game for teasing and reminding. When my dad gets nervous he stutters a bit and we talked about getting him a licence plate that said B-B-B-B-Bob for his birthday one year. You tease the ones you love.
Robin, I’m sure you will be glad when the school year ends and have more time for hubby and other things.
RS, that’s horrible. I have an aunt and uncle who were told they couldn’t have kids and tried the adoption route 2 times. Both times the mother backed and when they went for a third try, lo and behold she became pregnant at 42. This was in the early 80’s so that was pretty big. Did your brother and wife eventually get to adopt?
Mananda, TAXES……….UGH, I hate doing these. Good luck on yours.
