Ah yes, that's it! Thanks for reminding me Rog, and I've just remembered how it goes. Now, I'm out of here!! ;):D

Did you remember why you left here??

Or did you forget by the time you reached your destination?

I just got a letter from my insurance company. According to their actuaries, I have a better that 50% chance of living to 85.

The only trouble is, my money will run out at 80.

Live long enough to be a burden to your children.

Sorry, it's just that things have been pretty complicated and will likely get "worse" since I have to have some surgery done, it's hard to put words to things right now!!

In 1997 my 89 year old Grandfather decided that he was going to give up driving. That summer, Prairie Bible Institute, where my grandparents worked and my mom grew up, was having their 75th anniversary celebration. We packed up the van and drove out there (Three Hills, Alberta). My Grandfather also drove. While we drove across the Prairies, he drove through the Rocky Mountains. He lived on Vancouver Island. While there, he signed over the ownership of the car and we towed it home.

Our best friends graduated from Prairie Bible Institute.... Don and Micki Milam. They met there and were married right after they graduated. Small world.

Well you know you have our support and best wishes Tony. Can't do much physically for you, but just continue to keep you in our thoughts.

Keep the chin up and the spirits as high as possible.

Chin up mate. Things have a way of sorting themselves out.

The school is rather popular now. I have two friends from here that are current students.

My mom and grandparents moved there in 1954 and stayed until 1976. Grandpa worked in the power plant and other operations. Mom went through elementary, high school, and college. Then worked in the music department.

Tony, I think you need some good, old-fashioned, home made chicken soup. Cures everything!

You'll be in my thoughts when I talk to the Big Guy. It may not help, but like the chicken soup, it can't hurt.
