Well here is another picture of Charlie. I have to stop putting up pictures and talking about him so much.....no, no, I don't. This is my blog so I can talk about him as much as I want. :-)
Just got off the phone with Flo. She is down in Florida. She has been there for the month of February. The weather has been terrible she says. Cold, much colder than they were expecting for this time of year. She said that she wishes she had bought more long sleeve outfits.
Ralph is in Greenwood in the Annapolis Valley this weekend at a curling Bonspiel. He called me at work today to say that they had lost their first two games so he may be home tomorrow night instead of Sunday night.
San and I are going to Toronto to Trish's on March 24th for a week. Can't wait. We are flying Porter Airlines for the first time. We will see how they are.
Was up to South Branch a couple of Sundays ago. Mom and Louise are doing good. Ralph has been scouting out the second hand bookstores and picking them up the Bobbsey Twin Books and Anne of Green Gable books. Louise reads a chapter from one of the books each night to Mom and she really enjoys that . Last Sunday when we were there Mom said that she had made Louise read two chapters one night that week because Freddie (one of the Bobbsey twins) had fallen off his bike and knocked himself out so Mom had to find out how he fared :-)
We had Louise's famous homemade pizza for lunch. It is so good. Don't remember how many pieces Ralph had. We had some snow on Wednesday. Workplaces and all schools were shut down. We got about 37 centimetres here in Halifax but it has melted a lot in the last two days as the temperature has stayed above 2 degrees both days.
Ralph is certainly enjoying retirement. He is curling anywhere from 4-7 times a week. He also is quite involved with the Legion, Citizens on Patrol and the Air Force Association so he keeps busy. I think that Jake is enjoying having him home also. Ralph left for Greenwood yesterday and Jake spent the night staring at me as if he was saying "Where's Ralph?" :-)
Take care everyone and we will talk again soon.
