Seeing the absolute JOY brought to my bedridden for years, almost 92 year old Mom when I presented her with this balloon yesterday.



She literally squealed with happiness when I walked in, and every few minutes during our visit she'd gaze at it and a HUGE smile would come across her face.

This is not the first time I've brought her one of these... Each time it's a similar reaction, and when they finally lose buoyancy, she is sad and wants a replacement...

Her joy is mine as well. smile

Back from a 10 day trip to Naples, Fl to visit my Mom and Step-Dad with the family. Had lots of fun, got very good service from Air Canada despite the ongoing labour disputes, but oh-so-nice to be home again!

10C was hard to take, however, after 10 days of 85F's...

Most years we see a half-dozen days over 25C (77), and maybe 1 or 2 in the low-80's. Half an hour inland, it gets to 85 fairly regularly, but we've got a cool micro-climate from the Bay of Fundy. Heat waves inland make foggy days for us.

You'd just LOVE a Michigan 90 degree day with 85% humidity.

NOT! wink

Correct! Florida's April heat is plenty for me... I walk slowly there.

That took some serious maintenance,

What made me happy today? A loving email from the world's greatest grand daughter. It was almost worth breaking my ribs for.
