I took Kona to the groomer for the first time today. There was a mistake made and I went looking for it in Maple Ridge when it was just close to Cindy’s home. As Kona and I drove around and around trying to locate the groomer, Kona got car sick and I had to stop and clean that up. However, I finally realized the address must be in Langley and we ultimately arrived at the correct destination 20 minutes late but she kindly took her anyway and Kona now looks a third the size but very cute. The groomer, Gabriela, told me she was good and she seemed to be fine when I arrived so I hope things went well. She was very happy to see me though. I was able to run an errand and plant some fall plants while she was getting beautiful. I have my hair cut today too but it will not cost as much as Kona’s.
Liza took the bus back to Kelowna on Thursday and she and Brendon headed out with a trailer full of furniture for Bryson who is now in Edmonton and preparing to attend UofA. They spent the weekend getting him set up and seeing that things were in order for him and his three roommates as Liza and Brendon are leasing the apartment and renting out to the others. Liza then flew back here on Sunday and drove home with the children on Monday. Breya had taken the bus here on Saturday after her work commitments were complete. The Hardy family took the two youngest for a hike and to IKEA on Friday night and the two oldest to see “Jaws” on Saturday evening while Ross and Sarah came to visit Miss Sayde and myself. They visited with Kona too. We had the Hardy’s for Sunday dinner with us. It was a long, eventful and tiring week for Liza especially when you consider that it began with her running the Penticton IronMan race.
Puppy classes are really not going any better. Keaton and Sayde accompanied me this last Thursday. You need more than one person with each puppy as you have to carry the crate and deal with the puppy. Plus more sets of eyes and ears can be beneficial. I just feel the instructor feels that Kona is a nervous little shy puppy that has high anxiety but I don’t think she is as bad as she thinks. She really is very sweet.
Mary Harvey quickly notified me when President Alan Herrington passed away on August 30th. He has not fully recovered since his heart surgery before Christmas and had been in the hospital for months. He had finally gotten released and then developed pneumonia. I am not certain if it was covid related or not. His body was just weak after months of illness. My heart is aching for Janice and her family. Janice wrote me that time would mend her wounded heart but I am not certain that I agree with her as you manage but you do not heal from this wrenching loss.
I am anxious to get the film on my kitchen and bedroom windows so I do not have to keep putting towels and sheets on the turf each day to prevent it from burning further when the sun is shining. I put it on and take it off the turf so the dog is able to use the grass too during the rest of the day. Ryan, my landscaper, will come and repair the grass when the windows are done.
I ordered Camille and her family five “Batch” meals to be delivered to Ronald MacDonald house where she and her family are staying while little Presley is receiving her chemo treatments at Children’s hospital. Joanne and I went together on the meals. These treatments will take several months.
Cindy met me at the bank yesterday as we closed our safety deposit box and reopened it under my name with Cindy as a signer too if needs be. I took some paperwork to a lawyer today to probate one of our numbered companies that was in Tom’s name. So much to be taken care of and I still have more to do. I do miss Tom’s great contributions to our life together in things that he took care of but mainly I just miss him. He was and is my everything.
