Another Milestone

Can you imagine!!!  I turned 60 last Sunday and I was 40 just a couple of weeks ago.  I am not sure where the past 20 years have gone but they have flown by.  And they have been a lot of fun.  What can I say!!

Sunday we met our son and daughter-in-law, Stuart and Heajin, at Moxie's in Newmarket for my birthday dinner.  It was a great meal and great company.

  Stu, Heajin and Jen gave me a gift certificate for a day at the spa, Twyla, Joe and the Grands sent a Pandora bracelet with a beautiful "Mom" charm.  Twyla said that I am hard to buy for (which is true) and the bracelet will make future purchases easier.  

When Tom started taking guitar lessons I joked about learning how to play the harmonica.  Well he took me seriously and bought me one.  I think he will live to regret that decision but it will be fun trying to blast out a tune or two.  Maybe we will start our own band :)

Many thanks to everyone that called and emailed birthday wishes.  Love you all.  It was a great day.

Last week our daughter, Jennifer, started her trip across country from Ontario to Alberta to start a new job as a dental hygienist.  She made her way through some good roads and some bad, some sunshine and some snow.  

She spent Saturday night  in Saskatoon with my old school friend, Jean, where she got to check out the  ponies and baby lambs.

Sunday she finished her trip arriving at her new home.  We wish her much luck in her job and change in demographics.  

Today I had a visit with my orthopedic surgeon (finally) and have been booked in for a total knee replacement on May 22nd.  He said he can't understand how I am able to walk as well as I do.  It is seriously bone-on-bone.  

This is what it looks like now.

This is what the new one will look like.

Can't wait to get it done and over with so I can get back on the hiking trails.  Can't imagine it will keep me down for too long.  Until next time  - safe travels.
