“The RoseBouquet”

We’re interrupting my business schedule again for a couple of days. This afternoon Dad and I are going to see the doctor.

Yesterday we were in Saskatoon for the afternoon and evening. I had a Board meeting at the mission to attend, which happens every other month. When it does, because Dad does NOT like to stay home alone, we go early enough to take a supper over to my brother Tom’s and enjoy a little visit with him.

Since he is in a wheelchair and can’t do certain housecleaning tasks, I usually clean his apartment floors while our supper casserole warms in his oven.

However, Dad and I have this attitude that if we’re going to the city anyway for these other reasons, let’s go a bit earlier and stop in here or there to shop for this or that. So yesterday I worked in an appointment at the chiropractor, who adjusted my ribs and spine but suggested I see a regular doctor for another problem he could tell I had. We also stopped at the two stores which carry Dad’s cross necklaces and he got paid for the ones they have sold so far. That cheered him up a lot!

We got a few groceries too, spending pretty well all the extra money Dad had just earned, and I had some photos developed.

See? We really pack a lot into a “city trip.”

Then while I was at the Board meeting, Dad got to visit with Wendell at a restaurant, and with others who dropped by there.

It had snowed during the evening, so I had to drive with extra care coming home late at night, but as people keep point out to each other around these parts, - “We can be thankful for a milder winter this year!” Temperatures are only -2 to -5 or -10 most of the time; not the -30 and -40 C we had last January.
