Happy Canada Day Weekend
















There is no place like home! Came home a tid and a bit ago. Basically, collapsed on our garden furniture; and enjoyed being outside on our patio.

Had a nice long weekend at Pasley. It turned out that Alan's Mum came up with us; and not Alan's Dad. Alan's sister "sequestered" her Dad away for the weekend; an hour before he was to be picked up by us. The Mum had called to just let her daughter know that this was their weekend at Pasley. And then, boom! In comes the daughter and "took" him away; and of course, her little dog was there as a hook.

The Dad has dementia; and was looking forward to going away with his wife. It was not a good thing the daughter did; and Alan's Mum is finally on to her devious and secretive behaviour. This being the most cruel example, as of yet. Alan's Mum was left on her own; fortunately, she was able to enjoy a tidbit of rest. Her cancer is such that she is not able to sleep for more than a few hours a night. Well, she slept 12 hours last night; she was toasty warm and with no itch! First time in months for her to have slept so soundly. Maybe the bittid of baileys helped her to fall asleep! We think it was therapeutic for her; and we are hoping that we can get the two of them up there.

The cabin is looking fantastic! The crew (2 brothers) is still working on it; building / construction deadline is tomorrow; and over time, it will be a wonderful addition. We supplied the 2 men with lunches and refreshments; and one of them is a "Pasleyite"; and we were glad to get to know him a bit better and appreciate him a tid more. Plus, so many friends dropped over to see the new cabin; and we had wonderful visits with them as well. Now know how to operate the fire hose/pump and hook ups.

Tidbit - Appreciate the good; and take joy in the simple things. We have so much to be thankful for. Also, family is one of the greatest gifts; and Pasley is that special place for family and good friends.

Bittid - It would appear that the tenant frustrated the sale. We will confirm that tomorrow. In the meantime, I am going to enjoy a good sleep; as our day will start early.

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend; and, Happy Canada Day!(July 1st)

God Bless.
