Be- Oh,no! It must be coming...

When I hear snow in Manitoba, that means it is coming east and I will soon be getting it. We had a little dusting last night but the mild temps quickly melted that. But we have mounds of snow from winter still left yet to disappear. What a change from last year - this time last year we were out in our shirtsleeves doing gardening. Cathy, have you planted any seeds yet? Tomorrow to North Bay. We will visit Uncle Walter at the hospital. I called his room phone and he answered - Aunt Evelyn wasn't there. He sounded OK and looks forward to our visit. It must be a real change for them to have him in Continuing Care now and not at home. It was too much for Aunt Ev but now she goes to hospital every day which would be just as exhausting. I heard from my friend Sue by e-mail. Her Father died last week at 96 years. Her Mother died two years ago. Sue was a caregiver having to drive 7 hours into the Eastern Townships past Ottawa but faithfully took turns with her brother who lives in Toronto. Another sister who lives in Ottawa backed out last year from burnout as did her other brother. Its a tough responsibility as I am sure you all know. Ayway, take Care.
