Jokes in January

Br-r-r-r-r-r

Robbie Burns Day was a cold day in Saskatchewan, but Isabel spent a good part of the afternoon lounging in sunshiny warmth behind ceiling to floor south-faced windows overlooking the snow-covered garden terrace. Mum often refers to a Scottish term "suage" or "swage" which she understands to mean "to sit and hang-out" or "to relax without intentional conversation or activity". Today was a good day for suaging. A lovely new lounge for residents has opened up right across from Isabel's room. It was so bright today that Mum needed her sunhat to shade her eyes during a long winter's nap.

As we head into the sixth week of chilly weather on the prairies, Isabel has a new bright sunshiny yellow 3-ring binder. Friends have been sending their favourite jokes over the last couple of weeks. The jokes have gone directly into the binder to sit on Mum's reading board. She has had many laughs. Some of the favourites are about living in Saskatchewan. In this weather, we could all do with another joke!

If you have a favourite that you would like to share with Isabel, please email them to Catherine at:

Suage in a sunbeam....stay warm.....share a joke.....and keep on laughing. That's Isabel's motto for this week.
