Sept. 22, 2016



This has been a busy two weeks and it isn’t over yet.  I is too complicated to remember all that has happened – certainly not in the correct order.  You get a listing, and if anything seems extra important, I’ll expand.

Jan is in England and about half way through a two week visit to her Mom and family.  Her granddaughter, Isabelle is going to St. Mary’s University, just started a couple of weeks ago and is staying with us temporarily (I went there part time for about ten years.).  Jan’s daughter, Susanne and her husband Jeff have bought a house here in Dartmouth, with a view of the harbour, for Isabelle to live in while she attends St. Mary’s.  They also hope she can find someone to share the place and the costs.  It is a good house in a good location, but there are some repairs to be done – like refinishing the floors and the stairs.  There are a few other things and the place won’t be ready for occupancy until at least the middle of October.  I spent a few part days tearing out unwanted shelving in the basement.

We have two cats that don’t get along well and Sus. and Jeff brought two dogs and a lot of Isabelle’s stuff in their SUV. The house is divided into dog and cat areas.  This has not always been handy for us or the animals.  Sus. has been painting and dealing with contractors but is going home for a week on the 23rd and will return to deal with the flooring work about the first of October.  Jeff is travelling the world, as usual, but will return here about the 10th of October and they will drive the SUV back with one dog.  The other one died of old age last week.

My health has been quite good in spite of changed activities and times.  I have had two or three severe fatigue sessions and my walking and balance have been “off” once or twice.  I realize that this isn’t much of a Parkinson’s letter but considering the changes and the occasional stress, I am doing ok.  Tea and Tango is starting up again on Saturday and we will have a couple of hours of dancing and munching.  I am not known for being graceful on my feet and I think I have forgotten most of the steps we learned, but it is fun and everyone is patient.
