Susan .. nice to hear you have a work extension .. AND, that dinner out and a movie were awesome

Re Lance Armtsrong, to sum it up, he lied and cheated and doped his blood to win his bicycling medals, now, he is trying to repair the collateral damage he incurred .. basically, the shatterd dreams and hopes of his adoring fans and the media .. nuff said ..

Lorna's leg .. wellllllllllllllllll .. we went in filled with hope and excitement, the prosthetist was so filled with anticipation, the new socket slid on to her stump like a dream .. he them started to do some adjustments to the 'mechanical' lower part with allyn wrenches, then Lorna would walk for him, suffice to say there was a problem with the 'offsetting' of the mechanical part into the socket part, hard to explain .. I have attached a pic ..
Kerry (the prosthetist) had to keep the leg to work on it, she has here old one back .. they just have to reattach the mechanical part to the socket and she was good to go .. we go back in next week .. patience, patience

WE HAVE SNOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lots of it .. about 12cm overnight, light and fluffy .. however, the temps are about to drop like a rock during the day .. severe arctic like temps .. and looking at the radar weather, it's a solid blue BLOB from the Manitoba border east to Sault St Marie, we would be SMACK in the middle of said blob, Lorna is in her heaven out there ploughing .. sure nice to be able to depend on her and that Mule :-)

Someone is supposedly coming to pick up the old fridge today .. we'll see, I find the persons answering the Kijiji ads to be less than responsible :-(

Hope y'all have a great weekend
