Today is Tobie's 22nd Birthday. I am full of wonderful memories from her birth and all the wonderful things we did together throughout her life. I am looking forward the all the memories still to be created as the years continue. I wish so much that I could hug and kiss her but that will not be an option for a few years yet.
Up fairly early this morning watching all the coverage of the huge Ice Storm in Toronto over the weekend and remembering the paralyzing storm in Ottawa some 27 years ago. It was horrible and how Cathy and I worked so hard in helping Nanny and Grandpa thru it and Paul and his family coming to help cut down a huge tree that had fallen on the roof and moving them to our home until power was returned to their house. It actually happened over night of the 24th and into Chrstmas Day. Some people in rural areas around the City did not get power for up to 2 weeks. So many were affected so badly. It was really catastrophic for so many. I feel for the residence of Toronto over this Christmas season.and am hoping my nephews can manage to get out of Toronto to come home to the OS today.
Glen just came over to give me 2 really good pairs of mits he no longer was using. What a wonderful blessing from him.He also gave me money to get through the next bunch of days and will take it out of my account when the Bi-weekly amount gets deposited late this evening. Thank You big Bro for saving me having to cab it downtown & back tomorrow. He also said the Boys and Katharine are definitely going to get here sometime later today. Yahoo. I miss them and look forward to having a little visit here at my place tonight or tomorrow. Something I'm really looking forward to.
Chatted briefly with Carm early this morning and she has a busy day of running all over the place. Kris sent a brief note that all is going well there and anxiously waiting for Jack to wake up and go find his big surprise. He has no idea his Aunt and her partner are in with the Elf to surprise him. He has not been told they were coming to visit for Christmas. I bet he's going to go crazy with excitement. He loves his Aunt very much.
