Happy 'Pines Day, everyone!

Yesterday was a downer. No work again. Calls have been few and far between this week, again. I had a shift scheduled for today, but that was cancelled this morning. Freezing rain and slippery conditions have cancelled buses for both the Ottawa board and the Upper Canada board, for which I work. I only have one more day to work before I fly home for Christmas on Friday. I really hope I get a call for tomorrow!

Not sure what I will be doing today. Kim is off, too. Hopefully we will find something fun and exciting!

More help is needed in regards to my brother's wife, Cassandra. She's going for testing today for her cancer. It is, indeed, breast cancer. They need to test to see if it entered her bones. She's only 32. So, as long as it didn't enter her bones, things should be OK. Treatment is said to work better if the patient is younger. The only scary part is that cancer runs in her family. It killed her mom and aunt at young ages (38, I think?). Please send your best to her and my brother at this time. As much as we all love Christmas, I think we all know having a safe and happy family is tops amongst our wishes.

I hope everyone has a great Wednesday. It's the second last 'Pines Day before our Big Day! I look forward to seeing you all tonight!

Merry Christmas!

Continued prayers for Cassandra & your brother and your entire family as well.


Hello everyone.

Well, Happy has been acting increasingly strange (even more so than usual :) ), so I took him to the vet yesterday. Some tests have been run and he doesn't have a tumor. The vet did diagnose him with dementia. :(

They said he will get progressively worse, but we may try to slow it down with medicine. We are going to try for a month and see.

I hope you all have a great day. See you at the Pines!

Ryan, I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope the meds help Happy. Sending hugs and prayers your way.


Happy Hump Day and Happy last Wednesday before Christmas Eve.

That's the night I'll be lighting the luminaries on my parents street.

I am very excited about it and the fact that it's supposed to be mild temps, I recall a few bitterly cold "eves" when the cold nearly took the fun out of it.

When my dad was battling cancer nearly 12 years ago, a local photographer and son of a family friend swung by to snap a photo. The next morning, there was a knock on the door and there was Greg on the doorstep with the photograph I am about to share. Such a kind and caring gesture on his part to take time out on Christmas morning from his own family to stop by and share this gift. Speaks well of Greg and the respectful bond he shares with my parents.

Last Christmas Eve he and his wife were among their merry visitors. His younger brothers along with my brothers and I starred in a Christmas commercial for my dad's store when we were little so it was great to catch up. Felt like a long lost relative had stopped by to visit.

I get such a warm and glowy feeling when the luminaries extend up the street and veer off onto side streets. "All is calm, all is bright."

Beautiful!

Holiday, I''ll be keeping your dad in my thoughts. I hope the surgery goes well.

A quick hello, I've been in and out all day Christmas shopping and I'm still not finished! I'm exhausted, can't wait to get in my bed. See you in the morning. Goodnight everyone!
