made great progress with the bed. The weather was great and they worked
outside. Chris here this evening. I finished putting the March/April things out

retirement. Joan phoned to tell us that Dorothy's dad "Mugsie" had
passed away. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">Up early to drive to Toronto (North York).
Leonard's funeral was at 11:00. Met Joan, Sean Gillian and Luke outside the
Church. Len's brother Monsignor P. did the Mass and spoke very well. The
reception was at the Church following and then those who wanted went to the
burial site which was downtown.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We went
to Ikea and got wardrobes for the bedroom with dressers to go inside them. They
are very heavy. Luckily Sean and Gillian stopped in shortly after we got home
and helped to unload them.</span></div>

had coffee at Burger Hut BH for short. The mattress arrived at 4:30 so we were
able to go to Mass at 5. John opened a box for the dresser. Lots of parts. We
made the bed and I went to bed early with my book. Had to put the clocks
forward for day light savings.</span></span></div>

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Still no year end at
work. Nancy was going to meet us at BH but it was closed. She came here
instead. What a circus. Electrician Bernie & son Ben were here and so was
Chris. Everything is topsy turvy. Knee a bit better but still have trouble with
stairs.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Got my books but they
were wrong so still waiting. Not much to do. Bad headache. House a disaster but

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">TJ's birthday. Woke up
to a winter wonderland. Snow on all the tree branches and wires. Snow still
falling, very wet. Bernie & Andrew here.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">We went to Havelock
and I got my hair cut finally! Then we went to Campbellford to Bennett's and
bought a memory foam Beautyrest mattress. Next the Salvation Army store and I
got a 10 drawer (coloured plastic shallow) tower. Then we went to Giant Tiger
and stocked up on frozen food. When we got home Bernie had switches on all the
lights! It is going to take some getting used to. All the lights are temporary
just a bulb in a socket. The fixtures we want need to be re-wired or bought.
Knee feeling a bit better. Have tried every day to get my Blog back no luck.</span></div>

Colour is a light beige. Chris was here and did more mudding. Working on the

time to stand. After we marched back to the Legion Jack and Nancy joined us for
their chili lunch and I had a glass of draft. Boy was it good. I went to choir
practice and when I got home Jerome and Colleen were here. They stopped on
their way home to Ottawa. We had a nice visit but they were anxious to hit the
road before all the daylight disappeared. Very warm day high of 18°C!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Had breakfast at

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Up at 7 :( and picked
Harry & Carole up at 8 . Some stop and go across Toronto. Arrived at
Caesar's in Windsor around 2:30. We stopped once for lunch and a second time to
change drivers as Harry knew the way. We checked in and did the looong walk to
our rooms. The rooms are lovely, king size bed and a fridge and safe. We went
for a swim in the pool, did some slot machines and went to the buffet for
supper. It was terrible! All the food stations are circles so it is very
confusing. Some of the food was not hot and other things had been under heat
lambs so long they were dried out. Went to play on the machines for a bit and
then went back to the pool for awhile and went to bed early.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Left around 9 am
stopped at a Tim Horton's for breakfast on our way to the St. Bernard's
Capuchin Monastery in Detroit. It is the home of Venerable Fr. Solanus Casey
who was a porter for the capuchin's in several</span><span lang="EN-GB">
monasteries</span><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> and is known for his
kindness and cures. It was a well laid out building with great story boards and
pictures of his life and beautiful gardens. The Church has a beautiful hand
carved altar and wood organ pipes. We were happy to be back in Canada even
though we enjoyed the trip. We had lunch in our room and after a quick nap we
went to the pool again. We waited in line for an hour at a hole in the wall
cafe and had to throw out the soup it was so awful! Harry gave me his ticket to
the show which was great. It was called a </span><span class="st"><span lang="EN-GB">“</span></span><em><span lang="EN-GB">Tribute</span></em><span class="st"><span lang="EN-GB">, A Salute to the Superstars”</span></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">and featured impersonators of Rod Stewart, Garth Brooks, Neil Diamond
and Tina Turner. The MC was a comedian and did hid stand up between Garth and

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">TJ, Paul and Meghan
arrived and the weather is a lot cooler but sunny. TJ brought his sailboat The
Y-Knot and took the kids and Lori and Paul for a sail at different times. They
had Bingo in the park in the afternoon and Christopher and family joined in.
Kyrstin too. Lori took the girls to hockey practice and after some trial and
error the boys got the propane going under the big pot of oil and we cooked a
turkey. It was very juicy and delicious. Sharon did vegetables and I did a
potato salad. CW did fried and mashed potatoes and Sharon had squares for
dessert. We had a fire and sang Happy Birthday to Meghan and gave her gifts..
It was getting quite cool and after Lori and the girls returned they got into
pie irons and "pigtails". A very nice family day.</span></div>

through and we all got soaked. Met Sean's old friend Richard L. who now has
children in cadets and who we haven't seen for about 25 years. He now lives in
Cobourg. Went to the Mess afterwards and I met Nick.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">Rain over night but woke up to a beautiful
day. Watched the antique cars go up and down our road. Went swimming at the
Adult Swim with John and Sharon and went to their camp fire after supper.
Meghan, Nick and Paul were there and TJ and friend joined us latter.</span></div>
