What's with the weather ! Yesterday was the hottest August day since 1946....then last night was the hottest August night ever recorded here. IT'S WINTER !!!!!!! 35c during the day 20c overnight.
Today has been a beautiful warm day, but the heat is expected again over the coming weekend. Victoria has been the opposite.....cold wet and windy....fresh snow on the Alps. Spring starts September 1.....summer... December 1.
Things are pretty much back to normal after our six weeks in S.D. Enjoying bowling and catching up with friends. Pam, Rachel and a friend will be with us for a week September 22-29...can't wait to see them. We will get to celebrate Perry's 74th birthday together on the 28th. The years are going too quickly for our liking.....but we are making the most of them. Life is good here in this beautiful climate.
Perry has had a minor operation on a toe, that had to be done before he can have his other knee replacement. I told him I think it must be like having a baby....after you have the first one you can't imagine putting yourself through it again.....but something happens to your brain and off you go again !
The knee that will be done sometime in the near future is worse than the first one, but the Baker's cyst that was behind the left knee used to drive him to distraction so he had that one done first. Getting anxious about getting the right one over and done with as he is normally very active and knee pain has been getting in his way for a long time. Thankfully the medication he is on for R.L.S. is still very very good.
Haven't heard from Glen for awhile. That man spreads himself out very thinly.....coaching Christopher's football team again this year. This makes the third year....not sure that Christopher is that INTO football, but Glen is encouraging him to keep at it as it is a great way to keep him physically active.
Television viewing and the Internet etc can easily get out of hand if he isn't encouraged to keep up the outdoor activities.
