Also believe the person that was doing the shooting was a transgendered person.. Living in a VERY Red Neck town.. So would imagine the person was struggling mentally as well.. !!  Woould not be totally accepted there..  Just plain sad all around and the kids that were shot were very young. 12 and 13 so they had nothing to do with this person..!!! 
So glad to hear you lunch out was lovely enough to want to have Fellowship Christmas there..!!  Can you make the decission to have the dinner there..??? Now that the speaker from the Bird reserve came to talk are you motivated to go and have another trip there..??  Been a beautiful day over here. I did not get out for a walk. I was waiting on the Dr. to call in but she was busy, guess the kids are really getting sick with flu over here..So she was hours behind. Luckily it was a phone appt. so I could get my stuff arounnd the house done. I could not walk. It is out in the bush and some times the cell reception is not that great.  Hope you dry out a bit..My last walk was a lot squishy..!!!!!!!!  I am at meetings all day tomorrow..Never had it happen where there is this many in one day, but am trying to loook on the positive side. They will all be done and next week does not look as crazy as this one does..!!  Hope you have a lovely day. Loads of Love and Hugs..XX

Hi Patricia..I know you get how large B.C. is..To get to Tumbler Riddge from here on the Island it would be at least 12 hours drive on the hight way..Do not know the Km. but Probably a trip for you to Scotland might be close..!  So if effects us in the way that anyone with a gun and shooting would, but no where near us.. Up in the North where they are more families would have guns than would not..Very wild up there and they would prbably use there guns to hunt to feed their families.. Moose , bear .. both black, brown and grizzly bear up there as Elk and Deer so it is a life style totally opposite to living in the city of any kind..!!!  It just normally does not happen here because the people with guns are hunting..!! 

Crocus! How lovely to have a garden with Spring bulbs.  Happy Wednesday. Looking forward to my son arriving on Thursday, having landed at Heathrow this morning. Husband up and down with heart and blood pressure.

Then I have a Dr. appt for Rashad for his meds.. Think we are just about where we will be . Not much to be done. I have tried the best we can and some times there is just not much else to be done.. Glad to hear you got to catch up with Pam..  Hope you have a lovely day..We have daffodils coming up..!!!!  Loads of Love and Hugs..XX

Hi Patricia.. Been super busy with these meetings. I have 4 meetings on Thursday..So may not get on..!!!!!  Did go for a shorter walk this morning, just felt like getting out for a bit..!!  Hoping all the meetings will be productive.. Will find out more about what is going on with Rashad.. I am hoping..!!!!!  Grandma and Rashad had a great time..He wants to go home with her...  He really does not remember her, but she is showing him photos of when he was a little toddler and living down with his mom and dad before things fell apart for them...So think that helped..!!  He still has loads of issues that need to be addressed.. But grandma has the ability to get him in with some Aboriginal healing centers that I do not have access to ..(I am white) .. Very much a distinction here..!!   The trail was super boggy, but it was lovely and fresh out.. Gandolph is off to the vet tomorrow morinig..!!  He is never happy about that.. They have to check his eye.. It is cronic, but does not seem to be causing too much trouble..I keep up with the eye drops and the inflamation stays stable..I can not miss any days though..    You know because I need something to keep myself busy..!
