Hello from Wascana
The days are lengthening and it is said that the western gophers told us yesterday that Spring is coming sooner than later..... And here's to Isabel's Orkney friends who have written of their acknowledgment of Candlemas. February 2 is known as a seasonal turning point on the Celtic Calendar ~ the day that marks the loosening of winter's grip upon the land.
All is well at Wascana with Isabel's steady weaning of herself from the ventilator during daytime hours. She has been rereading letters and cards from Christmas and her birthday, and is ever grateful for your many stories and good wishes.
YES, to those that have asked! Isabel did celebrate Robbie Burns Day with a small gathering; Scottish music; the wearing of tartans; and a new friend reciting Burns poetry. And haggis, tatties and neeps on the menu! Isabel is not yet able to swallow as well as she would like to so is not yet eating and drinking orally, but with recent progress, perhaps that too, will change this year.
We promise more of an update soon!
