Happy Canada Day!

Happy Canada Day!

As the calendar turns to July 1, Isabel gratefully remembers communication with so many friends and family in June. Today, we name in particular, her many kith and kin in England and Scotland. June was always the month that Isabel travelled to the UK, and this year, emails and phone calls travelled from there to Room 2-649 in Wascana.

Thank you to all of you who phoned, emailed, and posted letters from The Orkneys, the Western Isles, Glasgow, and the south of England. These significant relationships continue!

The bagpiper at our clan gathering on the weekend, and the gift of a new CD of bagpipe music from a Saskatoon friend add to the delights of June. In fact, that bagpipe CD is so good that Isabel plays it all night. A night nurse asked her at 3:30 AM on Saturday if she could turn it down!

Isabel has a constant refrain as she thinks about travel across the sea.

"Do it while you can, and savour the memories!"

CARPE DIEM!

And now ~ on to July!

Happy Canada Day, Everyone!
