Hello Ed, me again, re. Rose and other friends that we have made here in F/L. She may have become late like my friend Bonnie and a few others. Sad.

Hello ED, TY for the mouse. I loved the post that you sent to me re friends. It is coll here this evening, the cats are enjoying being outside without dealing with dogs. They will have to be inside all day tomorrow if the temps go up to 40. I have been doing most of my op shop duties. Missed last Friday as Arja was arriving. PLanning to attend tomorrow despite the heat. We do have A/C there. Enjoy your day.

Hello ED, TY for the mouse. Arja and family have now left. Victoria is on fire now. Fires close to where Lynne lives, also approaching where Arja lives although she will not be there. Sarah is safe in the town of Mansfield although fires close. I know so many people living where the fires are or approaching but I cannot call all of them. Tomorrow it will be 40 degrees.

Morning splash--pair of lovebirds  and sunlight seed tyIt is 0 and cloudy this morning so we could get anything(might be nice if it was sunshine) Today I have a nurse and tea so all inside which is good. We have a shortage of salt now this year so Old Man Winter is winning seen as they can only plow to keep roads open and people are now complaining that their street did not get plowed. I am definately not a skier(don't like cold) and the closest I came to it was to try some crosscountry skis in our back yard--think on trip down the hill cured any thoughts of more. Did do a lot of skating but there again don't like cold so it was just about all inside on arena ice. Have a good day and if you go take down decoration be careful!!!

Hello ED, I have been complaining that we haven't had Summer here and now it is here in full force. High 30's. Melbourne and Mansfield in the 40's. Arja and family are at the boat shed / beach at the moment. I am hiding inside with the A/C on. Arja's birthday today. Early dinner and then they my go to the Carnival in Rye. They leave tomorrow Then no guests until Sarah and family return for the Australia Day weekend. Lynne was hoping to come in between however she heard it in my voice that I needed a break. She will come in Feb. Enjoy your day.

Morning splash-- -2 and overcast with freezing rain forecast so I think I will just stay put today as my skating skills are not very good anymore. I did get a good sleep last night so I am all setto go for the day. A lot of time when Kevin or SIL leave here they grab a garbage bage and take it down  or when I load it on the walker and someone nice is in the elevator they take it out but At 6:30 in the morning I was on my own. Good you found the scores from the junior hockey--yes Canada won the bronze medal.Leg is still there and not really bothering me lately --I will go see the surgeon again on Jan. 20th at the hospital. I think golf begins Jan. 15th in Hawaii, so will be wonky times for me but they do have reruns quite often if I can catch them. Have fun today  and don't fail the cart check!!
