The photos at the end of the blog are for Carl actually... he is away this week and was having some other work done for the company he works with and wanted to see what they did... so I took photos and posted them for him... 

There is not a lot that has been going on around here new... dad is still on his iv and will continue until Monday morning... actually they will be coming in to remove the iv on Monday... his last bag is on Sunday... 

The house is empty but I have been busy since Carl left on Tuesday night... Pat is having a conference this weekend with a guest speaker coming in tonight on the late flight... Welcome to Bathurst Donna ... I hope your stay is a good one and my sister doesn't run you ragged he he... Tomorrow night she will enjoy this time of the year menu here at the house... and if some of you don't know what that is I will tell you... lobster that will be caught tomorrow morning... brought home and cooked by my little hands... (don't laugh at that statement my hands are smaller then my father's he he) with garlic butter, and wonderful potato salad... I do hope she will enjoy it... and of course great company of two Melanson girls... what else can one hope and want in their life LOL....

I have to say the our puppies are missing Carl like crazy... Kodak has finally left the door... he has been laying on the mat with his nose to the door hoping and waiting for his return... if anything every happens to this relationship I know where our puppies will want to go if they could speak any way.... 

I am off to watch some tv before getting myself to bed... so have a great one all... may have photos of those great lobsters tomorrow night for you all.... he he   Joanne 

(and Carl the photos are below this)

Just Another Thursday

Come evening in this house it is almost as quiet as getting up.... once in a while as I move around the house you will hear a cuss or ouch out of me when the leg gives me a problem ...

Maggie is trying to find a comfortable spot on the bed only take off in a minute or two when she hears Carl coming back into the house... he is taking the bin to the road I think... Kodak is standing at the door guarding it... while he watches me type away at the computer... wondering what is so wonderful in this thing that I am on it several times a day....

Today I thought I would try my hand once again at sock making... I bombed got ticked and tore the whole thing apart instead of just the part I messed up... I think I will stick to the scarf making... they are easier though I seen some chemo caps online last night ... I may try my hand at them... I am sure the department here in Bathurst would appreciate a few of them....they don't look all that hard to do... and they call for circular needles... so it really can't be all that bad....

A stop at mom and dad's a trip to the mall for a walk that almost killed me today... can't do the whole mall yet with this leg of mine... have to do 1/2 tomorrow... and back home to watch the snow come down...

Well off to the shower if Carl got the chair in it for me...so I can put some heat and cold on the leg... maybe it will help it a bit.... have a good night... catch you Later... Joanne
