Next weekend I was expecting my sister-in-law Willie (the wife of my recently deceased eldest brother Dirk) and her daughter, my dearest niece Nelly, to spend some time with us. That I was looking forward to that is an understatement.
But Nelly goes and breaks her wrist, not in one but two places!!! I can blame that on her big dog who would not move for her so Nelly had to step over her slipped and fell. Needless to say Nelly is in a lot of pain and uncomfortable with a huge cast. So this visit will have to be shelved for a while.
Coming from Holland where I left ALL my family, and having only them here in Canada they are very important to me. Then as you know the rest of my family who are dear to me are all moving away. First our son Paul who moved to North Carolina, than my favorite niece Monica goes to live in Toronto. To top it all off, Jason, Yvonne and the girls left for Ottawa.
But I have to say that I find great comfort in the fact that both Paul, Monica and Yvonne and Jason are exactly where the Lord wants them to be.
As for the canceled visit from Willy and Nelly, again the ways of the Lord we not always understand but in His wisdom I find comfort. Nevertheless, I had so looked forward to it.
Today Ted and I are going to hang the Christmas lights around the windows. Actually, he is holding the ladder and I do the climbing. Now why do those lights not last from the previous years?

uh . . . we're still here.
Although Ron is always purusing the job banks. You never know, you might end up having a number of places to visit.
We were waiting for you to tell us when you wanted those Christmas lights up so we could help. How did it go?
