Update

Saturday was a beautiful sunny day. I was standing on our balcony looking in the distance where on a clear day as it was, I can see Quebec with some of the tall buildings and the mountains across the river. Ted had been wanting to go to a large store. I Googled and sure enough there is a huge shopping center with a large WalMart about 15km North.

It was a gorgeous drive, of course as soon as we crossed the bridge it is all French. Even in Walmart produce, dairy products, clothing etc. Like you are in a different country altogether. Mind you the cashier was bi-lingual and a good thing, hahaha! Also after living on the Prairies for 50 years I love to see the hills and mountains especially now everything is green!

This morning at 7am I had to drive Ted to the Hospital for his Colonoscopy. That meant only liquids for him yesterday and fun, fun, fun! That was his Fathers day gift. But we were told everything is okay. I had mine a month ago and that was good as well. Now we can wait for five years for the next one.

I still think that the parking situations in Ottawa around Clinics and Hospitals suck! I dropped Ted off and drove around for 15 min until I finally gave in and parked on a lot at $3.50 for 30 min. But because I was early I was able to get an "Early Bird" pass for $9.00. You know how it is you have to figure on two to three hours for an appointment in a place like a Hospital. That is taking advantage of sick people! Nope Ottawa you can learn something from Winnipeg! Can you imagine with all the doctor visits when we had cancer, I'd have to take a second job! Hahaha!

Okay, okay, let me complain a bit here! Get it of my chest!
