4 Feb to 10 Feb 18
Carroll has 3 chiropractor appoints each week on Mon, Wed and Friday at 3 PM , which we hope will solve some of the pain in her back and hips, so that chews up our afternoon. So far it is helping but will it last long term. She is allowed to take her Aguasize class but no hot tub for 2 weeks and she must ice her back 3 times a day.
While driving Carroll to her Dr. on the Interstate I picked up a stone chip on the windshield on the drivers side so I had to have it repaired as I was afraid it would spread. The local wash rack has a windshield repair man so I stopped and got it repaired for 40.00. Manitoba resident get a rock chip repaired at no cost by their insurance company and the repair guys here do all the paper work. The cost to the insurance company is 75.00. Go figure.
On Sunday the Trails End RV resort had a breakfast to raise money for the park so being the congenial type, we went there to do our part for the fund raising. We took a friend, a single lady from home and we were also meeting another couple. As soon as I walked thru the door I could see that this was organised confusion.
First you are met by a senior couple ( of course ) who checked off you request. Our friend is allergic to onion, so she wanted an omelet but ask ( foolishly as it turns out) if there was onions in the omelet. This request seem like it was getting way to complicated so I agree to solve it when we got to the counter. Then another man ask me "not to move" until he was ready to escort me to the cashier. The cashier was 20 ft away. Jesus, do I look like I need help. When we got to the cashier another guy verified our menu and then " the escort man " started to explain about the omelet with no onions. I told him to back off and I told the other guy that we wanted 3 loaded but one with no onions; problem solved. We did get our omelets and all was well. Suffice to say we have been to Trails End; First and Last.
On Thursday we went to another Tribute Music show for CCR and they we pretty good and it was a 2 hour show so I guess I got my monies worth.
I know the weather in Canada is cold as hell in most places so our complaining will fall on deaf ears but our temperature ranged from 18 C on Sunday to 10 C on Saturday. Cheers
If you can't explain it Simply; you don't understand it well enough.

Goodbye Scotties: Bring on the Olympic
28 Jan to 3 Feb
After the Scotties finals on Sunday we get our life back until the Olympic start next week.
The weather is looking better this week and ranged from 10 C to 15 C which is not what we expected in sunny TX but it is better than rain.
Also our street had a block Pot Luck breakfast which was suppose to be a meet and greet so we could all get to meet the people we don't know. As I expected most people did not try to meet any of the new people like us, they just sit and talk to the people they have known for the past 20 years.
I first sat beside a couple from MB with a German name so I tried to start a conversation by asking where they were from. After a short conversation on their home town, a friend of theirs came along and they dropped me like a had 2 heads. Then I turned and introduced myself to 2 ladies and ask where they were from. One lady said Iowa so I tried to continue the conversation by asking the name of the town since I was familiar with Iowa. She mentioned the town and turned away. I thought, for Christ sake is nobody going to ask me where I'm from, so I took a seat beside Carroll and had a great breakfast. However, they can stick the next Block party up their ass. Most of the people on our street are Canadians.
As I've said many times, Seniors are just old kids. In the military, if we see a new person in the Mess we introduce our self and buy them a beer; we don't ignore them.
Carroll's has a continuous pain in her back and knees so we decided to go to a Chiropractor that she went to about 8 years ago when we were here. The first appointment was a consultation and then several x-rays and finally a Scan along her vertebrates. The next appointment will be a treatment plan to hopefully stop the pain.
On Saturday we went to South Padre Island to watch a Kite show. I know a Kite show sound boring but once you see what these men and women can do with a kite it is fantastic. One display had 12 players standing shoulder to shoulder doing synchronize kite flying. They can even land the kites in synchronized fashion and get they up again in the same fashion. It was well worth the price of admission which was free. There were several thousand fans along the beach watching the display. However, after 2 1/2 hours , boredom kicked in and we called it a day. Cheers
Let whatever you do today be enough.
