However plenty to comment about.
Hurricane Earl dropped in on the weekend, and by the time he was near HRM he was downgraded to a mere tropical storm. G&G spent most of the time on the balcony watching and trying to gobble up any leaves that came their way. A few trees in the woods behind fell, but they were derelict anyway, and on the streetscape some of the young ash, birch, maple planted by the developer succumbed.
However no one appeared to have structural damage.
Not so in Christchurch, NZ All family there seemed to have fared okay with loss of bits and pieces and knicknacks. Louise was without power after the 'quake and I hope it has been restored. Mother Nature has certainly been making her presence known around the globe. She is displeased!
Mom fell on Friday morning, luckily her a Home Care worker was with her when her knees just seemed to buckle and down she went, fracturing her right hip, so she spent most of Saturday waiting to go to the OR, because of power interruptions she was bumped to Sunday and finally went around 430 PM.
She came through with flying colours, a little confused from the whole deal, but that is understandable.
It wasn't a bad break so a simple DHS was the only necessary intervention.
Time will tell now as to her post-op mobility.
The Cassia Bud pickles are bottled and some already eaten, they are good. A few bottles were gifts to my neighbours who plied me with goodies post-op.
