Day 1 of April

Can you believe it is the 1st day of April. I must be getting more maturity (as opposed to old), because it never dawned on my once to pull an April Fool's joke. Although, we went for Dim sum this morning with some old friends. As we are sitting at the table waiting for them, Bill's phone rings and it is Ray asking where we are. Seems Bill gave them the wrong name of the restaraunt and they were at a different place. They arrived shortly afterward, and had I been on the ball, I would have said "April Fools". Only it was really more like "oops were the fools!"
This is another busy week coming up. We will be celebrating Patrick's 19th birthday from afar. 19 - that's legal drinking age in B.C. Apparently his friends have something planned for him. He's just finishing up his final classes and studying for finals. He'll be home by the 26th. Also this week, is the 68th birthday of my brother - yes I have a brother. His birthday is actually the same day at our wedding anniversary - and that would be year number 27 for us - whoa... Throw in Easter on the weekend, and it's a busy time. Bill's cousin is flying in from California mid week, so will have some visiting to do. Mom has an appointment at the cast clinic. Hopefully they will give her the thumbs up to stop wearing her brace. I don't think she is really getting much help from it anyways. Half the time she doesn't wear it because the "aides" don't get to her room before she goes down for breakfast; and when they do try and help, they don't know how to work it, and mom tries to show them....enough said. Also must remember to make a trip up to mom's room. Seems she's lost her teeth!!!! I think - or she thinks. The problem is I took her a bout 6 months ago to get new teeth. We got them, and she stopped wearing them because they hurt. Of course she didn't tell me this until she was in the Carewest center. So today when we talked, she can only find one set of teeth and she's not sure if they are the new ones or the old ones; they don't hurt (must be the old ones), but they don't it well (must be the new ones). It only goes to prove, people should only have one set of teeth at a time. I can still hear mom laughing on the other end of the phone while she tries to tell me this story. Thank goodness she can see the humor in it. So I guess I'm going on a "denture hunt" this week.
Now I'm just cleaning up my desk until around 12:30 - when it will be time to pick the daughter up from the airport. She's been in Vancouver all weekend for a Cheerleading competition. Hmmm. I think it's time I went on a nice little get a way......
Til later
