hi brenda well the chocolate bar and the tennis went well,bryan called me when he got home and we had a nice chat apparently his knee is the size of a basket ball and is painfull but his dad had iced it and given him the pain medication so it was a bit easier, then the other 2 called later as they had only spent the afternoon at the other family cottage and where now at there mom's Laura said her back was sore and she had quite a headache and to quote Ian I am fine no injuries so that was saturday. on sunday I spoke to andrew and bryan had a good night and slept for 12hrs catching up on the sleep he did not have at camp Ian was now back at his dad's and had to quote him a big bowl of tiger shrips for lunch and dad is grilling black angus steaks for supper?tea so all is well in his worl. andrew said he will be in touch with the surgeon to-day (monday) and don't worry brenda he is open to all the help he can get from me as bryan has said he is staying at dad's and if his dad has to go away on business he would like to ask me to stay for a week or a few days what ever is needed. he has all his computor stuf etc at his dad and he says it makes no sense to move it down the road week about. as he appears to want a future inthat field after uni. I guess it makes sense. so we shall see what happens, hope all is well with you sorry you did not get to bury I spoke to anne and she said the weather has been iffy, she has work men coming to-day there is a crack over the kitchen window and it is bringing water behind the kitchen tiles over the window she has a beautiful kitchen all tiled floor to ceiling and the tiles are spectacular so I hope she has some extra's left to replace if the work men damage any. hope fred and liz had a good week-end take care bye for now dorothy |

goodmorning well just when I thought things could not get worse silly me they did, I recieved a call from andrew yesterday to say he had 2 calls from the camp first to say that bryan had hurt his bad leg it turned out to be a torn meniscus in the knee so that will have to be repaired along with the a.c.l and of course this will cut his stay at camp short he will be coming home to-day along with the other 2, he has said he wants to stay with his dad so andrew has cancelled the trip to ottawa and will take a weeks vacation next week, then another call came later to say Laura in a game had fallen over a retaining wall and had injured her kneck and back and head that entailed a trip to the hospital and being wakened up every 2hrs through the night, back and kneck ok but is left with a concussion, so andrew and lindy are going up in separate cars the boys will come home with andrew and lindy will bring Laura so out of 3 children Ian is the only one intact, andrew will call the surgeon on monday and see about getting an earlier date to fix the now 2 problems with bryans leg, bryan also asked that the surgery is still done at the end of september he wants to rehab at his dads and as he put it if you have to go out of town dad I am sure that if I asked grandma dee (thats me) she would move in for a week and take care of me. and of course I would help in anyway. Bryan is 16 so legally he does not have to go along with this week at one house a week at the other he is old enough to say where he wants to live so we shall see what happens there, so andrew should have arrived at the camp as I write this so I hope they have a good trip home I gather bryan is in a lot of pain and he does have a good pain tolerance as we found out with allhis sports injuries, so I have bought myself a giant chocolate bar and I am going towatch the semi finals of the tennis and think good thoughts and pig out on the chocolate have not done this in weeks but after the stess of the last 2 weeks I think I deserve it bye for now dorothy |

hi wed pm first of all thankyou fred and brenda for the kind words I have just spoken to bryan before he goes back up to camp this evening and I also spoke at length last evening with lindy I have to admit I am none the wiser but as andrew flies to ottawa on sunday evening I did agree to have dinner next week with her and the two children who will be home from camp on saturday, I have always been very fond of lindy and want to try and keep it that way. both andrew and lindy are driving up to camp to-gether to pick up Ian and laura and lindy has said that Ian perhaps would like to stay the night at andrew's as he has been at camp for 2 weeks and his dad has to leave on sunday I thought that was a great Idea wether Laura will do the same remains up to her I guess. as I said before this new co-parenting will work I guess as they can see each house from the other. Bryan now has a surgical date sept 29 for his A.C.L repair so he will get 3 weeks off school in grade 11 under his belt before the surgery and now with the internet he can sit in on his classes from home as he recovers. I have just read about the broom brigade that turned out to help with the clean up in manchester how wonderful reminds me of stories my mom used to tell about people helping each other during the war when I was a babe (born in 1942) well enough from me once again fred and brenda thanks for the kind words take care dorothy |

hi just finished watching the riots in the arndale centre and was thinking that you were there the other day brenda perhaps you should follow fred's lead and get out the riot gear it is not funny what an horror to see this happening all over england. to-day (tues.) I went with andrew to pick up bryan at camp for his 30hr leave it was great to see him taller than ever hair bleached by all this time in the sun he is blonde but sort of a datk blonde normally, but the drive up was a bit tricky as we had torrential rain all the way up, but I was shocked at my son's appearance we did not make lunch on sunday or monday as he was ill, he looke awful very gaunt and his hair has gone gray alomost overnight at least since I last saw him 2 weeks ago. we kept things light as far as conversation went jut kept to some things he is doing in the house he has some friends coming on wed,and thurs, to help re arange some stuff, bryan will be sleeping at his dad's to-night and lindy is going to take him back to camp to-morrow 2hrs up and 2hrs down. lindy has got in touch with me via e-mail and wants to get to-gether for a talk after seeing andrew to-day I am going to wait a few days before that happens I need to get myself to-gether, she says I am the best mother in law a girl could have and does not want to lose me, I am a great believer that extended families stay out of marriages of their children, but those 3 grand children are my main concern, well I hope you all stay safe during these troubled times in england take care bye for now dorothy |
