So Close We Can Almost Taste It..

Man oh man, days like this are good ones..
  • A contingent of Vernon Overends have come to visit and it's wonderful to have Andy and Mel and their three little ones here.
  • The neighbours have been fantastic, lending us toys galore (obviously none of those around our house yet) including a huge pumped up jumping castle with water slide.
  • The weather in Calgary has been lovely and sunny with the usual threat of thunderstorms rarely actually happening in our neighbourhood.
  • I'm relieved to say that the Fish & Wildlife people came to deal with the black bear (whose three piles of bear scat we've seen in the trails adjacent to our home gave rise to suspicion of its snooping and pooping around) so I can once again run in full confidence of not getting eaten alive.
  • And last but absolutely not least, Charl is still doing remarkably well. He finished his 17th radiation treatment this morning, and has the weekend break before he finishes the last 3.
Monday is our last visit with the Radiation Oncologist and the radiation will be over next Wednesday! So close... so CLOSE to getting a fully recovered and healthy husband back!! yipppppeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

  1. Sounds like lots of fun over there! Monday, 9 August, is Women's Day in SA. Nobody knows exactly why or how it should be celebrated, but since you are married to an ex-SA, Carol, I assume you are entitled to the same benefits. Enjoy :)
