Not much dust around here today. The rain is keeping that under control! Three hours up the road where we used to live they’re getting snow. Maybe 6” of it. Good place for it I say.
Karen, ya got me there. And there IS a story. When I started at The Old Post Office I was partnered with a wylie old veteran, Frank. A veteran of the Canadian Military and The Royal Mail as it was called in the 1970’s. Many postal employees were vets back in the day. Anyway, I started in December as a Christmas helper to carry excess mail and once proven to deliver a few houses. Frank’s route was in a very established area with many large, old homes. We were walking past a park to get to our next pickup point. The snow and wind were just whipping. When we got to the relay box, and clearly I’ve never forgotten this, Frank looked at me and said “Ox, that wind is colder than a hooker’s heart”. The Ox part? That’s what he nicknamed me for my ability to carry all of the mail and packages that were part of the Christmas rush. Now, aren’t you sorry you asked.
Who doesn’t like pizza Dave! What a neat gift. Ya, our leaders hope to have everyone who wants a vaccine to get it by...Fall 2021. My SiL who works in the cardiac department of one of Toronto’s big hospitals got her first shot yesterday. Her turn came after all of the front line folks at Toronto Western Hospital got theirs. My BiL can’t get his even though they share the same home.
I hope Art gets a good post op check Kathie. Some days the wind at the river is worse than others. Still, I’m glad it’s close by and we can enjoy it. Even under our stay home order with this lock down we’re allowed out to walk the dogs and for exercise.
How you doin’ today Pat. I agree that you should be entitled to the best bedroom in the hutch. The one with the wine fridge built in to the night stand. And a big TV with the channels YOU want. And meals delivered by G & E on trays wth those fancy silver domes.
I see you posted while I pecked away. Believe it or not we ordered that game this morning. Only $8 to ship to Canada! As for the “witch’s t1t”, I can’t comment personally and Frank never mentioned that.
As always I hope you are all doing well and are staying safe.
Enjoy your Friday!
