Communication is everything
Yesterday I needed Colin to get my small carry on, out so I could pack for a quick trip. He spent a long time under the house moving things and looking for it. Then back inside where we both searched to no avail. Back out to the shed and yet again under the house. Finally he drove over to the RV in the storage compound and came back with the bag.
Only it wasn’t the bag I wanted. I described the bag I wanted and he said “oh, that is under the house,I saw it earlier”. So on went his knee pads and yet again he had to move the 2 kayaks out to get to the bag I wanted. So I got the bag but it took a lot of effort. Obviously I should have said more and he should not have assumed which bag I wanted. Mille gracias mi amor.
So the bag is packed and here it is 6:00AM and I am heading out the door to the airport. I am off to Edmonton yet again.
I feel the need to spend some time with my Mom, who is still in hospital ( since May 15th ) just in case. I won’t be able to fly for almost two months after my surgery on Thursday so I felt the need to spend time and say my goodbyes, just in case. Apparently she does not remember that she almost passed over three times in the past few weeks. She is doing much better and I just want to sit with her for a while. Of course I get to spend some quality time with my Dad. Bonus!!!
Just found out late last night that it seems my trip is timely…..Mom still has pneumonia and is back on O2 and no food or drink.

Good you found your bag and can go visit your Mom and Dad, enjoy the trip.
Have a good trip. We’re off to see Sylvia’s folks ourselves.
You’re a good daughter! Enjoy your time with our parents and I hope your mom gets better. It certainly sounds like she’s hanging in there!
Please have Colin post and keep us updated on the results of your surgery!
Moms are precious, I lost mine a long time ago. Have a good visit with her, then you’ll have to focus on your own wellbeing.
Safe trip!
Chris….gracias.
Peter…I am trying to get back to myself but seem to be on the phone to Edmonton every few hours.
Cheryl….thanks for that. I will ask Colin to post.
Rod…enjoy the visit.
George…I was able to enjoy a bit of the trip but not most of it.
