Remembering our Brother Don, Chiropractor and siblings visit.

Where are we today ?
 clic a pic to enlarge it 
           Another restless sleep  the first 2 hours were good, and the last 3 not bad, It ws the 4 hours in between that had me tossing and turning, up and down , hmm.  But at least I got some sleep.
           19 years ago today, my oldest younger brother Don passed away from Kidney Cancer, (at 38 years old) a day I will never forget, we were so close for many years he was my little buddy back in to 60's, 14 years younger than me. He even lived with Suzie and I back in the 1990s for a while too. This cancer stuff runs in the family my Father passed at 69 years old with lung cancer. Figure I have done pretty good so far and intend beat this terrible disease.
Don and I with my 1956 Ford I was working on
my "56 Ford all done after 2 years body work
         Shortly after 8:30 am Suzie headed to the bank is  Stratford to get a money order for the Last months rent on our apartment and dropped it off at their office. Our references just need to be checked and we should know.
         She was back home by 9:30 and then at 10:30 headed into Waterloo to my Chiropractor for an adjustment I am badly in need of. Suzie is driving , I am still not much up to that. Right now too far.
the drive to Waterloo
   At 1 pm my Brother Chris (18 years younger) and Sister Louise (aka LULU, 4 years younger) and BIL Paul came by for a nice visit , so nice to see them again. long drive for them over 2 hours each way.
LULU brought Treat from Butter Tarts and More
in Little Britain Ontario
and a Chelsea bun
Oh my over the top good treats!
Thanks Guys
      Also they bought some nice warm gloves, wool socks and an Herbal tea, all welcome treatsThenks guys !
Chris, Me and LULU
    







      Last Night like I mentioned Bill and Patsy (fellow fulltime river's)  dropped by for a nice visit while they were in the area,
Nice to see Patsy and Bill again

  5. I am sorry to hear your dear brother passed away twenty years ago. I know how you feel because I too lost my beloved father in 2000 and it is something one does not get over.

    1. These treats are over the top rich but oh so tasty. It was nice that they came to visit well. It will be a perfect home base for us that's for sure, Bill and Patsy a bonus as well, Thanks for the prayers.

  13. I had written that I was sorry that you aren't sleeping well. Perhaps your mind is going over all the unsettledness and won't let you get a deep sleep. The apartment does look lovey and will be a nice home once you fix it up. So very nice that it is new. You certainly had some special visitors yesterday. Just keep taking things one day at a time and try and get some rest.
