A Whole Lot of This and That

Four days (actually now it is six) and not all that much went on... I am still working on photos though it is not scanning them... we took the cds over to Carl's parents and they loved them ....I thought the next step in this was making each of the children an album with the remaining photos on a cd... but that is not what Opa wanted ... He wants another cd as an introductions kind of thing... so I have been sending the last days looking for certain photos to use and then start tagging them... the only thing I just can't tag anything... I have to add.... I ended up picking up 200 of the 7000 instead of the 75 Opa suggested....of tagging them meant going into psp and that meant that after the first 5 or 6 I got bored and started adding a little tube, a colored border, a frame and then it totally started... scrapping booking in psp... but they are looking so much better now... adding color to black and whites and an added touch to the others... I am up to 142 so I don't actually have all that many more to go...

I am still wondering what I will be doing after this project is done because at -25 outside I don't see spring popping up in the next few weeks... but then I may be mistaken you never know... may be it is time for me to go pick up the rest of the photos at mom and dad's... and do something with them as well...

Here are some of the photos I have been working on .....

This week we had two appointment with mom... the first was her monthly one for her port a calf.... the second was her every three month one for the cleaning of the ears... when mom laid down to get her ears cleaned Dr. Boucher noticed that she had a sore on her left side of her face... he asked how long it had been there... I couldn't tell him but I knew it had been there way too long...so he decided to take a biopsy of it.... I am sure it will take a while to get that back but he said that he will let us know the results...Mom did very well through the unexpected.... I also talked to him about getting dad's hearing tested.. the last testing he had that done was when he was at the mill... think it is time....

Next week is a busy week as well... with mom... I actually didn't check to see if there was anything there for Dad... what a bad daughter I am... but I don't have to normally worry about his appointment because Roger is the one that normally goes with him... Anyway... Mom starts the week off with a hearing test that was cancelled because of the wax in her ears... then on Wednesday she has an appointment with Dr. Daigle who is the one that looked at her 5 years ago for her kidney and then Thursday it is off to Dr. Yousaf for her eyes... so as you can see why I am not looking into what is going on with dad next week there is enough going on with mom lol....

Monday was a good day for Carl and I... we went in for our monthly weigh in and we were both successful... Carl dropped 11 and I dropped 8... on Wednesday Carl was up bright and early to go back to the office to get a blood pressure monitor on him for 24 hours... we will find ot the results of that on Thursday when he goes and sees his doctor...

About a month or so ago I was called by Louie... he didn't seem to have all that great of news for us... they had taken x-rays of his lungs and found several spots of them... they were actually thinking cancer... which he was thinking about the same thing because of weight lose and he had not been feeling all that great for a very long time... so they shipped him off to Winnipeg on the 10th for a bunch of test.... Yesterday I got the call... with the greatest news there could be at this moment... it is not cancer.... his lungs are in bad shape because of his years of smoking but what was causing him to be so sick was a Viral Bacterial Infection which is on the mend at the moment according to the doctors.. he has one more test which we are not going to say where they are going a looking next week to make it 100% sure it is not cancer but it was scheduled so he is taking the test...

Other news in the family... Yvette and Hubert left NB at the beginning of the month and is enjoying the Brier in Calgary .... Missing you sis.... no one to talk to for long hours... wait until you get home your ear is going to be bent out of shape after our phone call to each other.... Lise if you read this before your mom leaves... give her a big one for me....

Well I guess there was more then I thought I had to say to everyone and maybe should have sat down and wrote before this... but then I am slow at things...

It is Friday so I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend... Danie and Family have a great vacation this week... take a little time in the sun for me...

Love Jo
