Where are we today?
Stratford Ontario.
 
"Wow did I ever have a good sleep last night"

When I got in to see George about 8:30, he was already up and in the wheelchair. He sent me an email that he wanted certain clothes to wear. We discussed what we were going to do today. First he wanted something to eat and then we would do some Christmas decorating.
 In the dining room, he had 2 scrambled eggs, toast and milk.
 Back in his room, I took a picture of him not in pajamas. He felt like dressing up a bit today and felt like a brand new person.
 Close up of him with his hair cut.
 Daughter #1 and Cousin Marie came for a visit, both from Aurora. Lots of laughs and conversation. Being as Daughter #1 hadn't seen her Dad in 2 weeks, she was amazed on how well he looked and how much he was getting around. Today he walked with his walker 10 steps. Someone of course was beside him to make sure he didn't fall.
We had surprise visitors. Murray Heimbecker and Murray Jackson from Egar Tool and Die. That was the last place he worked and quit work to go Full time on the motorhome back in 2006. Daughter #1 and Cousin Marie left about mid afternoon, as they wanted to get home and try to miss the traffic. We even had a little happy hour with the guys. I guess I had the little fridge in the room turned too cold as one of his non alcoholic beer kind of froze and made a mess. That cleaned up with help and happy hour continued.

After the Murray's left, we chatted more. George got back into bed, he wanted the better clothes clean for another day. He also worked on his computer and while we decided what time to eat supper.
 Our Christmas Tree from the RV. Decorations have started, but I need help to put some things up and that will happen tomorrow.
 Daughter#1 brought us a new Christmas decoration. It is a small trailer. How cute.
Tasty Turkey Dinner from The Plattsville United Church
Thank you so very Much !! 
 For supper, of course we had the turkey dinner provided to us the other day. One of the volunteers, volunteered to take it to the kitchen and heat it up for us. Very nice of her. We ate it all, so tasty.
No words necessary for the above picture.

Another wonderful day for both of us.

I had a good sleep last night as well, even with my cold. Doctored myself up and went to bed. I don't think I woke up once all night and didn't get up until 6 am (9 hours sleep). Of course, a cold doesn't go away overnight. I think this is the first cold I have had in 13 years. I was thinking of going to my natural path to get Vitamin C that works for me, but of course, ran out of time.

  5. Your looking good George and you know we are all waiting for a picture of you up and on your feet, hat vest and all and if they keep it warm in there maybe shorts too. You are probably not far away from your first walkabout but maybe hold it under a mile that first time out eh. And Suzie, your quiet strength has moved to the forefront in all of this and it's nice to see how you are handling all these new and sudden responsibilities.
