Jude's 2015
The year started out with a trip to Kelowna with Tim and Grady to celebrate Mom's birthday. We were the first guests to arrive, and Mom was certainly surprised to see us. I was thankful when everyone arrived partly because of the delays people experienced but mostly so I did not have to watch every word out of my mouth, scared I would give away the surprise. So lovely to have all the sisters, two brothers in law, one nephew, one great nephew and favourite Uncle there.
The rest of January, February and March were quiet, a few trips to Edmonton, for S&B, and other reasons, taking T&G to and from the airport for their Europe trip.. In April going to Vancouver and house sitting for Nancy was fun. Jack and I got along pretty good.
May I had my trip to California with the MH family. We had a lot of fun, it was mostly Disney with a little detour to Legoland. As I get older I find I want to stay in touch with family more than ever, immediate or a little further doesn't matter I love the connection.
When I made my plans to visit Kelowna, I did not anticipate that Mom would be in the hospital and feeling so sick. But everything happens for a reason and I guess I was meant to be there and help out. I never want to see anyone's intestines again, especially on the wrong side of the skin. I feel the same as Theresa, it is great to know that a person has the freedom to go somewhere at a moments notice. Thank you retirement.
The cruise was a highlight of the year, so wonderful that everyone (almost) could make it, a wonderful relaxing way to travel. The excursions were great loved the whale watching and the trip to Carcross and back. It was also great to extend the trip and visit Tofino with T, G, A and D catch up with Will and meet Ally.
Trip back to Kelowna in October was good too, once Sebastian and I came to an understanding about yowling. It worked out well having L&R's car to take Mom to various medical appts, pick up prescriptions and do a few errands for her. While I was in southern Alberta coming home from Kelowna, it felt like a good time to head east and see the MH Family. So much fun to hang out with everyone there.
And before I knew it Christmas again. This year my tree stayed up, we had Christmas dinner at T&C's, Sam home for the holiday, with appearances by Grace and Dallyn.
I have had lots of time with the two grand nephews this year, and sure want that to continue. Sometimes I miss being in Edmonton, but on the whole I like living in Rocky in my cozy space. I have already been booked for a three housesitting gigs in 2016, and hope to go to Europe in the fall, but not a hundred % sure about that, depends on how the dollar fares.
So I am wishing everyone Happy New Year, may you be healthy and happy!
