Memory lane

Today, I attended the memorial service for a friend and colleague of mine from my days at Ceridian. Gail died of cancer just 15 months after being diagnosed. The service was filled with stories and pictures of Gail. This prompted me to dig through my photos of the President Club trips she and I had worked on, along with our friend and colleague Janet. During that search, I came across this photo of Val, taken when she and I were in Mexico in February/March 1999. Gorgeous, eh? 

And while I'm wandering down memory lane, here's one of my favourite pics of my parents during a visit to our cottage on Lake Winnipeg. Of course, they are drinking tea. We always enjoy their company, and especially so at the cottage where we talk and eat and read and play Dominoes. Those days are likely over, but the memories are very sweet.

Dad is now well settled into the Rehab ward and doing what is demanded to get back home: walk to the lunch and dinner meals, submit to tests for this and that, and generally be a good patient. We talk with him frequently by phone and he continues to enjoy reading books and listening to the radio. Getting home is the objective, and a potential discharge date of February 3rd has been pencilled into the plans. Here's hoping that objective will be realized. 

Val is working on a new blog post. Stay tuned for that.
