Old Age Day by Day September 13, 2013

We're back.  It took us longer to get home from the airport than it did to fly from Canada here.  I came back with a cold that had me sneezing and blowing my nose constantly the last 3 days.  I hope it's more allergy and will calm down soon.  It was great to be away and it's even greater to be home.  And while we were away so much happened:  our granddaughter began kindergarten, yesterday our daughter had her first chemo, and a friend was in town. 

We'll get the dogs this morning, and all will be back to normal. 

I'm so grateful for the opportunity to see a new place and get a sense of a different culture.  The Canadians are super friendly and helpful and kind.  I was so impressed.  The First Nations art was fabulous.  The woods and scenery lovely.  The contrast with the natural landscape and the skyscrapers was disconcerting, but we liked it a little more each day, and the food was amazing.  It was a terrific destination, and our hotel room was great, so we could rest up in the afternoons or swim if we wanted. 

And our birthdays are over, so getting elderlyer was painless!
