Hello All; This update is about a month late from my plan. The reason is the fact that I may be grounded again this spring and, thus unable to fly. For several weeks, I have had pain from time to time on my lower left side, similar to what I had on the right side last spring. This could be the forerunner to another hernia...just like last year. This side it is called..a femal hernia. I am waiting to see what happens.
If is does not develop, I plan to attend my second eldest granddaughter's wedding in Calgary on May 17. It is my plan to travel to Turkiye in late June. My little friend, Hussian will be nine on June 24, and I would like to be there for that. By mid April, I hope to be able to make final decisions on both trips...go, or, no go.
Here is an interesting, and true story about myself. Just before my friend Hanan and her son Hussian returned to Turkiye in October 2021, we visited a store here in Ottawa called Canada's Four Corners. In that shop, she found a sweater with 12 lines of Canadiana on the back. She asked my permission to take a photo of me reading those 12 lines so she could send the clip to her family in Europe.(All are refugees from the mid-east). I had no problem with that, so she made the clip on Snapchat. I only remember the first three lines....I am a Canadian/ I do not live in an Igloo/I do not travel to work in a dog sled. Some where along the line as family passed that along, someone put it on Facebook, and translated into Arabic at the bottom.
Two times in the last ten days, I have been approached by ladies I did not know...saying....YOU ARE THE CANADIAN ON FACEBOOK.! They tell me it has been viewed over three million times in the mid-east. Thursday, I went to the 4 Corners shop to buy one, but the store did not continue that item.
Take care, I will update in a month or so, as soon as I have some answers
