Thanks Robin for this awesome video to give people an idea of what I'll look like on Saturday!
Yelling is my favourite part!
We've been having beautiful weather here in Ottawa and this past Sunday was absolutely gorgeous.  I even took my horrible (reframe > handy) wheelchair out for a long walk through the neighbourhood with Travis.  I found a new job for myself which could be Christmas Decoration Citation Officer.  Unfortunately, (or fortunately depending on how you look at it) most of the houses have steps leading up to their door so that won't work!  I am very relieved to see signs of spring, winter is very difficult for me as I often feel stuck indoors.  I am so grateful for my legions of friends and visitors who helped to keep my spirits up by bringing me treats, genuine conversation, and laughter.  I am constantly touched by the kindness and compassion of others.

Special thanks to Robin (and her helpers) for organizing this amazing Curling Bonspiel, Shari-Lynn for the beautiful flowers, and Sheila and Dave Lee for their beautiful letter that touched my heart and the gorgeous New Zealand Lighthouse Puzzle, which is still my favourite pastime!
