Hi, this is how I will be living in Canada for maybe 2 years !!!
The word to look for is "Vicariously" !!!
Our grandson Josh has flown to Vancouver, has a position with a Geology Engineering company and might be there for a good while. If he can tolerate the heat. A huge shock after some mornings back here were minus in the Celsius range, and now up to 28C daytime and still very warm at night.
At Auckland Airport Departure Area on 6th July .
I am sure he will be seeing scenery like this, only on a mega scale.
Meantime, back to our news, I am still sewing, not as much or as quickly as before, 2 hospital trips, a possibly further angiogram maybe, if new medication that has SO many side effects is not tolerated !!
And another birthday in a few weeks.
So I will continue to live , again that wonderful word that was new to me, " Vicariously" through Josh's news, and will see much more of Canada in the following months.
Quotation of the day, author unknown'
" You can't buy happiness, but you can live in Canada.
And that's much the same thing "
Greetings from Jean

Sending well wishes and happy birthday wishes. Take care, have a great day!
Great grandson!! It will be wonderful following his adventures
Hope your grandson has a wonderful experience in this country!
I hope your grandson enjoys his time in Canada. Every part of it is different, geographically and culturally.
Happy Birthday!
Hi Jean, sorry to read that you are still having hospital visits, guess we all slow down as we get older. It's been a while since you blogged, so its lovely to hear from you again. I had a hospital appointment the other week, and always make a point of taking my hospital batik bag with me, which you kindly made for me several years ago. It's just big enough for my knitting and a book, very handy when I whiled away some time at the hospital cafe. And the news was good, everything is fine, thank goodness. Your grandson will have the time of his life in Canada, I'm sure. And with the ease of communication these days, you will be enjoying photos galore.
Oh, living vicariously through others is one of life's beautiful joys. Happy early birthday!
So glad to hear from you Jean. I hope Hugh is doing ok. I turned 69 last month. Getting older is not much fun. I travel less as a result, but love my home in Kentucky and enjoy taking care of it and decorating it. I hope all goes well with your meds and the angiogram. Take good care, Carol
So nice to see your post. Your grandson will love Vancouver and we will learn more about it through you!
Thank you for sharing the photos with us!! Good to talk the other day and catch up, fingers crossed for no more hospital trips. That's a nice photo of yourself and Hugh so well wrapped up against the cold, I've always loved that part of the North Island.
How wonderful that he shares so much of his adventures with you. I don't think the heat gets too bad in Canada, but the winter can be brutal.
So nice to hear from you!
