Adventures of the old folks at home....
On Wed. night a TWU student/friend who has stayed with us occasionally when she'd come up from California to visit her dad, came this time for her dad's funeral. She had actually been here, staying with us 1 1/2 weeks earlier, visiting him. He hadn't been doing well but no one could have known that within 2 weeks she'd be back. She just left today back for California. We met in 1998, in the women's changeroom, each just having finished our run for the day. She runs marathons, and was in the middle of training for one coming up soon, which she's had to abandon. Anyway, I made a pot of soup and a batch of cinnamon buns for her family on Sat.
On Thusday night we went with Ron and Kathy to see " The Importance of being Ernest"-the TWU fall theatre. HR sponsored two of the evenings for staff and faculty for free. That's a first! HR even had a dessert buffet reception for us.
When we got home, there was a message from Eunice, saying they were in town already and could we get together on Friday night. Renata was leaving on Sat. for Mexico where she will be for three months working in 2 orphanages. I told her she had to start a blog. She said she would. So we ate cinnamon buns while Renata kept us entertained, telling us of her adventures.
On Sunday our homegroup was supposed to meet for our monthly dinner and it was called off because the host was sick. So Dad and I, on an impulse went to Guildford mall, shopping instead-quite a successful trip, I must say. I now have black "skinny jeans" and a hounds tooth, black and white (surprise!!!) short jacket. The homegroup dinner is postponed to next Sunday but, oh dear, we'll be at Harrison Hotel for the weekend....
We got home in time to make fresh buns to go with the soup and pie for supper. Eunice, Ken, James and Mom AND (surprise!) Joel came. We tried to think when the three of us had been together last and it's been longer than we could remember anything somewhat recent.
I want to post of pic of us three and mom but it just won't load. So I'll try again later.
