Dear friends

I have not been in touch in quite some time....think I was at Christmas,,please forgive me. Allot has been happening...so just want to share some of the things that have been happening.

Over Christmas I did have some bug so not out much and not able to sing much. January was not out much because of the cough,etc. So did get to church on Feb 9 as first year since David’s death. The family was home for that so a special time together. That night I discovered a large area like a huge blister on right shin.

Next day the other leg with a similar reaction. Not sure what caused this.

Home care and nursing for dressings daily. Thankful as of this week legs have healed but still one area we are watching.

During that time I had two falls and to have Emergency after one of them.

Thus I have been on first floor in Family room...now have a bed and a reclining chair there. I have been on isolation with visitors here and only wout for medical exams etc. Now definitely not out these *2 plus weeks.

Doing much better and see how I progress in next few weeks.

Second thing. The house has been up for sale since Oct so many thru to view it but only one offer so far and now off these couple of weeks as I did not want unknown people going thru. Another part of this is tenant in basement not leaving on his own. Was to have had a hearing with government March 24 but did not happen and since everything closed we will be notified when that may happen.

I was planning to move to a condo in June that was being built but now since house has not sold I have had to decline this. I get my down payment back fully. Probably nothing will take place til after Sept.

John has to be more careful as he had a scary time las fall in hospital with infection etc. We talk each day on the phone.

Andrew is still here and does shopping and other things for John, his Mom,Marlene, and Millie and myself.

Also a good friend, Ian Buttars, retired this past year, moved to Taiwan, and then

They discovered he had terminal cancer with pancreatic cancer. He did return to Guelph to hospital near his brother’s ...he passed in Feb.

Women’s National Gathering is cancelled in May. PCC General Assembly cancelled In June.

4 nurses from CCH Taiwan were to come Toronto in June but now postponed..

So sad that won’t happen.

Prayers for the whole world in these days and for god to keep us safe and sure.

Appreciate all your prayers for all these parts of my life.

Cannot decide on that next step until I sell this house. So that hope things will go better in these coming months.

Nothing at church but elders and Pastoral Care keeping in touch with members. I can still keep in touch this way. Service or minister’s part on each Sunday.

Think this is all for now.

God bless and keep you in God’s love and care.
