Catch Up

  • I'm a bit behind so I thought I better give you a quick update.  We spent another day at Green Hill Lake Camp on Tuesday. Doris did some of the financial work while I put the plastic vapor barrier on the walls in cabin #2.  There really is a lot of work to do before camp starts this summer. I left a half dozen walking sticks to use any way  they wanted again this year. I'm really happy that they have room for over 1000 kids each summer. 
  • I talked to a panhandler at the Market again last Saturday. Joe has a few stories that he will reluctantly reveal if you ask him. He seems to really appreciate a few dollars, but I think he really just like to be treated like a human being and not a panhandler.
  • There was a benefit convert for DebMac last week. It was a wonderful night and people were generous to help make up for the lost wages since she started Chemo. That's all done now, so there's something else to be thankful for.
  • I really getting into the iPod Touch now. It is very useful to know what appointments are coming up on my auxilliary brain.
  • I was happy that Brenda asked me for a  few walking sticks to give away at the Kilarney Lake Walkathon to raise money for Fredericton Hospice. I gave her a half dozen for door prizes this year and one just for her.   
  • Finally we had a great time at the retirement part of xwave and Aliant folks who left the company when I did. They gave us flowers and chocolates as well as a book with everyones comments.  It really was a great 15 years of fun . People seemed to like the Dilbert cartoons I provided too!
