Good Morning to all from 'The Ice Queen'.
You have already had a tour of the part of Canada where we live and what we eat and drink. But what do we do?
Well, I couldn't wait to retire and instead of editing books begin to enjoy them for enjoyment's sake. But instead of the easy life I envisioned,
I often wonder when did I have the time to work?
I do make time every evening to read as many pages as I can, but instead of just reading for myself I find that I am reading for a group in the
nursing home not far from where I live. One night a week we continue, or have a debate about, what we last read. The gentlemen seem to prefer
books about war. The two favourites which I've now read several times are 'And No Birds Sang' by Farley Mowat, a Canadian author, and 'Birdsong'
by Sebastian Faulks. The ladies seem to enjoy a good mystery which does have its disadvantages, as unlike the gentlemen who already know who won
the wars, the ladies have to wait much longer to find out 'whodunnit.' Of course there are books on disks that can be obtained from the library
but my group seem to enjoy that they can interrupt and query, which they can't do with an unknown voice coming over a speaker.
We volunteer for charitable organizations. I to the Canadian Cancer Society. Paying back for the times that volunteers helped me when I was too
ill to help myself and Mr. O was travelling long distances to earn his/our living. I now visit and talk with those who are now in a place I have
left behind. I drive them to medical appointments or for their treatments and I can answer many questions because I've walked in their shoes, and
sometimes all that is needed is an ear to listen, or a shoulder to cry on.
