Feels funny to say that!  We’ve been with mom and dad for five days.  Lots of chatter and Scrabble, a few trips downtown and a birthday party.  When all is said and done, the time has beeen good.

Last night we started packing up a few things.  This morning as well.  Sometime this afternoon we will be off.

The adventures here will be remembered. 

007 is passing into the new year of 008.  What awaits us?  We’ll see!!

I told her I'd put her on the blog!

Here we are having lunch.  Sunday lunch.  A day of rest.

And who pops in?  Fern Doner — a friend from years past, a good friend of my parents.  The air was filled with reminiscences and laughter.  As she was leaving, we took pictures.  She was told that this would go on my blog.  She demurred, but we insisted.  After viewing a few images, this was chosen.  She’s the young one in the middle!!

Dad's 89th!!

So he’s entering the 9th decade of life.  That’s an accomplishment in itself. 

The dinner was beef and horseradish, peas and carrots, potatoes and salad along with ice cream and pie.  Who could ask for anything more!!

The Almanac for farmers and city folks – 2008

So, I’m sitting in the front room.  Feet almost up, dog on the perch surveying the street, and breakfast just done.  In hand is the 2008 version of the Almanac for farmers and city folk.  Used to be called the farmers almanac.  85% accurate weather forecast rate.  I still like to check to see how close to the weather outside they are.  Not sure if they use bird entrails to forecast, or if they have moved hi-tech!

Always a few good stories — like the fellow who sued a hospital that had told him he would die of pancreatic cancer in a year’s time.  So he sold all he had, partied and came back in a year’s time to find out that he had non-terminal pancreatic cancer.  Since he was now broke, he decided to sue the hospital.  What ever happened to common sense?

Pick up a copy.  They are not expensive.  Or go visit relatives who have a copy!!
