Kevin's in Ireland

On Saturday we received sad news that Kevin's cousin, John Reel, passed away. Thankfully Kevin was able to visit with him in September. He was in hospital at the time and it was touch and go but he seemed to make a miraculous recovery and actually came home for a visit while Kevin was there. After a couple more weeks in the hospital he came home and we thought he was over the worst  of it. He looked great in the pictures that we saw but I guess the winter was hard on him and he went back into the hospital with pneumonia last week. Kevin was able to get a ticket to fly over for the funeral and left Toronto yesterday. He arrived safely today but I haven't heard anymore from him since this morning.

I've taken for granted how much Kevin does in the morning before I go to work. This morning I had to make my own coffee and take the dog for a walk. I came home earlier than I normally do because Brendan had to work late and the dog needed to be taken out again. I'm trying to watch my weight so this seems like the perfect opportunity to start my diet. I have only myself to blame if I don't stick to it.

Gaelan and Brendan  have booked the fairgrounds in Caledonia for their wedding. Looks like the "trailer park" wedding is on. I'm still not sure about all the logistics  of this wedding but I think it should be fun. If you have any ideas, Gaelan is looking for submissions for her website. My friend Diane is asking for dates for hosting a wedding shower. So much to think about and so much to do. I'm starting to understand why people have long engagements.
