This is the longest I haven't posted in awhile. I'm really not sure what to post about. I haven't done much lately, I don't think anything could top the snow duck (lmao). I went to see my great-grandmother the other day. Before grams and I headed up to Welland we stopped off at the floral shop. I helped grams in because it was like a big sheet of ice. Later I found out grams feels ancient when I hold on to her arm to help her around, but she's happy that I take care of her. It felt nice hearing her say that. ANYWAYS. We bought 18 roses 3 different colors mixed together with baby's breath .... beautiful arrangement. The man was a very dear fellow, he spoke very kindly to my grandma and was interested in hearing about her mother. Then he went to the back room and pulled out 12 red roses. Such a deep red ... they looked stunning. He said they only had another day or two and instead of throwing them out, he would like us to have them. My grams looked so happy ... I just wanted to hug him. We left the flower shop and headed up to great-grams. Grammy let me turn on the radio and a sang along to a few songs. She commented on my voice and talked about when I was smaller and in the church choir. How everyone thought I had the voice of an angel. I find that rather funny because I don't like my voice .... Then we arrived. I watched her walk ahead and I carried in the flowers. Sitting all wrapped in a blanket and eating a turkey sandwich was great-grandma and in the other chair was her daughter Vada. Great-grams needs somebody in the house to watch her and a few of the kids take turns .... It started off with the usual "how is everyone" and leaded into the ever familiar complaining about then knees and legs. Great-grams does it everytime. This time it is different, she lifted her nighty to reveal one small leg and one swollen red leg. The poor thing has a blood clot but doesn't know it. Oh she's been into the hospital and she is on medication but nobody wants to tell her what it is because 65 years ago, one of her sisters died of a blood clot and she has been terrified ever since. She has an amazing memory too It was interesting ... they all had such a different view on things than me. The hot topic between them was foreigners ... I stayed out of most of the discussion ... why bother ... they are old and their views haven't changed ... so how could they understand what I had to say ... lol

I would love to recieve a single flower ... Wouldn't you love to have somebody send you a single flower? I would love to get a Gerbera ... I remember that Chantal had placed a pink one in her room just for me. I was really touched ... Now if only somebody would have one delivered to me on a whim ... *giggles* ... I'm in a dreamy mood tonight ... Can you tell? ... I wish I could stay in this mood ... I love it ... I stared at the sky for a long time ... just thinking about things ... and then watched the people exiting the church ... how they bustled about ...
I'm becomign addcited to the documentary channel. We have it for free for a month and I am definately going to take advantage. The other day I watched Big Mama ... a story of a 89-year-old woman trying to get custody of a 9-year-old grandson ... Such a sad story ... the father died when the boy was 4 and the mother did drugs and left after he was born ... the child had a disorder and was hard to control ... but he worsened when the grandmother had a heart attack ... after that he burnt down the house accidently ... and he was later admitted to a psychiatric hospital and it just tells this entire story ... mind you the documentary ended abruptly ... OH WELL ... today I watched a few minutes of a sotry about two nomadic brothers fighting the cold to reach a musician ... they needed her to come to their ranch to save a baby camel ... the mother camel was rejecting it ... so they needed the musician to save it. Yea ... Anyways .. Im rambling ...
