After some consideration of my earlier post here, I offer my apology for having made it on this thread, as I did not intend it in any way to detract from your appreciation of the service that military people have given, including death for many. While I consider that the point that I made is valid, I think that I should have made it on a separate thread. Our May holiday, last weekend, earlier dealing with our queen of the late 1800s, has been just a holiday for many years, with no military connotations. We remember their contributions on November 11, which we used to call "Armistice Day", related mainly to te multiplied thousands who were killed in World War I, and later in World War II and Korea. Our family has more reason than many to be thankful for the soldiers' contribution, for Grandpa was 54 (Dad 13) in 1914, when World WarI began. When World War II began in 1939, Dad at 38 had a wife in the chronic hospital, an old mother 77 and me, aged 10 plus 2 younger brothers and a fairly large farm to look after. Korea was not a major deal here, I wondered about going, but was busy in University at the time. I finished just as the Korean War was winding down and asked to be appointed as a missionary of our (liberal Protestant)(1) church, to help heal the wounds of war in Korea, then spent 10 years there. I do not like war. So our family, not having been personally involved in war, have reason to be more thankful than many for the gift of their lives that many soldiers have been called upon to make. I drove my son, who has lived all of his life in Canada, a dual citizen, to Toronto to register for the U.S. draft in the late '70s, when he was near or at 18 ... but he has not served. He was in the Canadian Navy Officers' Training or Reserves for a while, while he was in University, and spent a summer with them, but did not continue. When given an order, he had a tendency to ask the officer to give him three reasons why he should follow it. I think that he and the Navy felt that they would not make a good fit. Good wishes to you all as you remember later today, Memorial Day. ole joyful 1. When I started university in 1947, I was assigned a room in our seminary dorm that had been furnished in tribute to our first ordained female clergyperson, which took place in the 1930s on the Prairies, I think. Most of the Presbyterians, the Methodists and the Congregationalists (plus a number of local union churches, mainly in the recently-settled Prairies) joined into The United Church of Canada in 1925. o j

Broke a spring a while ago - too old to find a replacement, so have run as it was for a while, with the odd bang when going over a bump. Fan control on radiator not working, they were going to order a new one, but soldered a wire ... but it still overheated ... so it seems that the seals on the water pump weren't holding (probably from overheating due to the fan not working properly). About $400. total to install a $65.00 water pump: mechanic said not worth it. I've been hauling several containers of water with me ... can run about 10 miles in the country before it gets hot (and don't seal the rad cap). I had a loaner while my auto body friend found a car to fit my specs and is doing some repairs on it. Couldn't remove the 3/8 tank of gas from the one in its death throes, so ran some errands with it and am running it for the weekend ... with the keys for the loaner in my pocket, in case of need. I expect to drive it to the junk yard on Tuesaday (Wednesday?), after the Civic holiday on Monday, if the replacement is ready. Carrying a can with some gas, in case the yellow caution light on the dash stays on for a while. Quite an adventure, clearing it out! The "new" one's a Chev. "Cobalt", vintage '05 ... so they said that I skipped the '90s all together. I'd bought a '90 Dodge (actually "Mitsubishi") "Colt" about '97, ran it till about '04, then had about a '93? "Taurus" for a couple of years. Pulled over to the side of the road to ask a couple of walkers whether they'd need a ride, and a gravel truck following claimed that I hadn't given him enough space, so the back of it got pretty well mashed ... so I didn't completely avoid the '90s. Drivers' consultation, about an hour and a half video and discussion with about a dozen participants, with sign-recognition and multiple choice driving questions again next birthday (every 2 years, after 80). ole joyful

Hi (again) Amer Auto Ass'n. ("A A A" for short) It has, so far ... ... now all I have to do is avoid getting into "scrapes" (or bang-ups) ... ... and I'm good to go for the next two ears. (Dang keyboard - that was supposed to be "years"!). Hope I can keep the equipment between those "ears" - and function, as well - in half decent shape for those two years ...for in recent times increasingly it seems as though I can't remember a darn thing. ole joyfuelled

Happy 89.5 Ed. And I hope we are ALL around to wish you a happy 90th. edited to add: yes you can freeze the cake. I wrap fairly large pieces (uncut) in plastic wrap or a ziploc getting as much air out as possible. Then wrap again in foil. Label and freeze. Depending on how much you have left, you could freeze multiple packages to enjoy later, just don’t wait too long or it will be dry.

No flights to AZ ... or wherever.

Had some errands to run, and was working on gettting my cell phone working.

And I'm to go out to supper with son and his lady soon.

Thanks for all of the good wishes.

I'm thankful to have good health (except for a varicose vein or two, requiring some pressure stockings.

But it's seldom that, when I ask it to do something, my body sayd, "Listen, you darned old fool - I can't do that any more!"

Hope yo all have a great week.
