more hospitals

This time it was St. Paul's for the kidney clinic that Ray attends. The doctor there was very happy with his progress and his kidney numbers were up. That was good!!
We left home at 9:00 and traffic was really good all the way.
This was the view going to the hospital. Fantastic.


The snow is low on the mountains today as it has been cold and snowed up there. It always looks  so beautiful in the sunlight!!
Snow in Abbotsford yesterday  April ??????

 After being at the clinic for an hour and a half, we went to Denny's for brunch. Both of us had a waffle with bacon, egg and sausage. As it was a senior's plate  there wasn't a lot of food on the plate, enough for us though. We watched the  dishes that other diners had and were amazed by the amount of food on their plates. It all looked good though, maybe next time we'll order one of those dishes and share it. Of course that will be  6 months from now LOL. So no danger of eating too much haha.
We had to go to the medical supply shop on the way home to buy some more supplies. When we left I waited for Ray for bring the car down the ramp. I was standing behind a car that was parked in front of the store. Suddenly I felt the car move and Ray was honking the horn . The woman had got into her car , put it in reverse and started to drive. Of course she  bumped her car into me. She had not looked in her rear view mirror when she started up her car. Fortunately she realized what was happening and stopped the car. I just got a little bump but no damage. Could have been a lot worse! :))
I just finished my dinner, cherrios and milk LOL. Also sourdough toast with tomato and mayonaisse. Weird meal but so tasty Haha....
Usually we cook but tonight we just wanted to eat, not cook.
Little Adam built a birdhouse ,good for him.
Big Adam and Lisa are home for Spain where they had a lovely time in both Madrid and Toledo. I am envious. I went to Spain in the late 60s and loved it. My cousin and my friend and I took a trip to Granada which was thrilling. We visited the  caves where the gypsies  live. Most interesting, they have electricity and whitewashed walls to reflect the light. Amazing! We saw a show of flamenco dancing which was spectacular and of course the amazing palace Alhambra where the Moors/Sultan had built their harem  and family living quarters. The harem was most interesting to see.
Enough of my travelogue for tonight.
Have a great evening. We are watching the Canuck game against Chicago. Pray for our team!! Which is the Canucks for those of you who did not know.
Buenos Noches....
