Lack of Communication

Sorry I haven't been doing much on the blog. I had a difficult winter healthwise and had a full hysterectomy at the end of April. Was really tired and slow for six weeks after that but now I feel fine and am back in full swing.

This summer weather has not been great. Too cool, too wet and not enough sun. I have managed to be in our pool most days since mid June, however. Too big an investment not to use it. It was too cool to turn on the heater (just a waste of energy and money) but I swam anyway. I figured if I was at the lake I'd be swimming so why not here? The heater is on now so it is less chilly.

We saw Westside Story at Stratford in July. It was a wonderful production and the music and story still work all these years later. Worth going to see. Last week we were at the Shaw in Niagara-on-the-Lake and saw Sunday in the Park with George. It was clever in how they did the sets and managed the stage. I do not think much of the musical itself, however, and especially the second act. It was almost as if the creators just got bored and finished it off.

Golfing quite a bit this summer and improving marginally. Such a tough sport that requires so much patience.

Our dear sweet dog, Ceilidh (Kaylee), died suddenly on June 30 of a brain lesion. We are having a very difficult time not having her with us. She was only 10. It was quick for her but very hard on us. The cats are well and Tux does make me laugh every day but it's not the same as having a dog. We miss her very very much.
