Back Home

We had a good trip back to Ontario with a stop in Elkhart, Indiana to have our air conditioner repaired - this turned out to be an easy fix - only a capacitor needed replacing, not the entire air conditioner. We visited with Jack' s brother Arnold and wife Ann, spent 3 days at my sister's farm to see our son Derek and then a visit with brother Hank and wife, Mary near Sarnia, Ontario. At last we arrived at the Provincial Park where we will reside until our son can move out of our house and into his newly renovated home.
It is cool and the trees are just leafing out but on May 1 the trilliums are carpeting the forest floor and they are beautiful! The park is along both shores of Bronte Creek and there are great hiking paths on both of those shores. The reason for arriving home by April 20 was an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon to look at my still sore shoulder - nine months after my fall. Fortunately, he says I do not need arthoscopic surgery but after another month of physio, he will inject the shoulder with cortisone to see if that helps. As a diabetic, healing goes slowly, he says, and I must be patient.
At last - moving day for Greg and Tara and their family. The renovation is 90% complete and adaquate for them to move into. They are anxious to be in their own home and let us move into ours.
 
Lunch on the floor in their new home - no furniture but the only room with carpet makes a good place for a Sub sandwich. Tara's parents and brother are here to help get them settled.

And now we are moved into our home in Oakville - we enjoyed unwrapping things stored in boxes for seven months and placing them on shelves and in cupboards again.
After a cortisone injection in my shoulder last week, I am now pain-free.
God is good!
 

 
Welcome!
