Last Camping Weekend
Seems that camping season has come to an end. In a way I wish there was still a few more weekends, but in another way I am glad that this is it. I have so much stuff to do around the house that I will be able to get to now. We couldn't go out last night as Gary and Crystal were at the hockey game and then this afternoon Gary has his golf league windup, so we will go out after he is done there.
This morning my uncle phoned to let me know that his father in law had passed away this morning. My aunt's family has always seemed like part of our family and they have been included in a number of family get togethers. Her dad, Dave, was actually the one who gave the toast to the bride at our wedding. Dave also was the one who was responsible for me getting my job at Cargill. When I moved to Brandon to work at Cargill he really did take me under his wing and was like my second dad. He was a funny guy and seemed to have a nickname for everyone and I have no idea how he came up with mine, Katrinka! LOL
Then we got a second call, this one was from my dad. He was phoning to let me know that Dave had passed away. While we were talking he also told me that my aunt, his sister, had gotten the results back from her last tests. She has to go back on chemo! I am sure this is quite a blow to her. Appears that in the scan they have noticed some more spots on her liver. She has been doing so well. She has an appointment down here and from there she will learn when she starts and what they will all involve. I really do hope all goes well for her and this takes care of the cancer once and for all.
I have been trying to get myself back in WW knitting mode! I seem to have gotten away from them. When Crystal and I were shopping today I picked up the yarn for Rawley's, so now I have all the yarn bought just need to get busy. I also only have one pair of their socks done so I do have to get on it! Another project has grabbed my attention, but I am fearing that I am going to have to pull myself away from it and get more work done on Christmas presents.
