I bought a new book on the weekend called "The Power of Habit". I found it interesting and, armed with this new-found knowledge, I am hoping to figure out why I have gotten out of the habit of posting with more regularity.
On Saturday, my brothers Barry and Pat came over with their wives, Sharon and Joyce for a pot-luck dinner. I had already invited our neighbour to join us and then at 5:00 p.m. Jesse called and asked what we were up to (This is code for "What are you having for dinner"). I ran out to buy some more chicken and, fortunately, Sharon and Joyce had brought lots. So, we had a big dinner and a good evening.
On Sunday, March 18th Monica, Ingo and I went with Jesse and his girlfriend, Sydney,to the Medical/Dental Spring Gala at UBC's Chan Centre. The Spring Gala is a celebration of the arts put on to raise money for charity by the medical/dental students of UBC. This is the second year we have gone (last year Jesse performed) and once again we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The calibre and quantity of talent was amazing. We took the wheelchair and the handicap parking pass. As a result we got the best parking that I have ever had and I got to sit in the "Dress Circle" for the first time.
Monica and I managed (but only barely) to survive without Marley. She came back with a face full of smiles (something tells me she enjoyed visiting Ross at Purdue) on Monday evening.
On Thursday, Monica had her regular "Bev" treatment and everything went well again. Monica has more lab work this week and will have an MRI and visit with the Dr. on April 3rd. We have all our fingers crossed but we have the feeling that her condition has been stable.
The weekend was fairly busy .Monica and Marley went to Steveston on Saturday to help Oma with some sorting etc there. On Sunday afternoon we attended the funeral for our friend and neighbour, Lynda and had a chance to visit with a lot of friends and neighbours. On Sunday night, I cooked a meatloaf and we all went to have dinner with Ingo in White Rock. ( Jesse called again and asked what we were up to - yes he joined us for dinner.
