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.
