*It felt great to get out and walk outside this morning. Nikki hasn’t been feeling well, so we have been unable to walk for a few days. But today we got outside. It was a bit chilly, but it felt great to walk outside once again!!
*What a beautiful day out today. I was able to get out and cut back my roses and pull some dead grass and leaves away from some of the other plants. It is fun to see what plants are coming up. I purchased a bunch of plants last fall that I planted in the “big pile of dirt”, and those look like they survived the winter. Paul continues to work outside with a variety of projects, like putting a railing on the fence around the vegetable garden, and then putting a stain on the railing.
*Since my rental continued through tonight at 6:30 p.m., decided to watch Bohemian Rhapsody once again, because it was fun to listen to the great music of Queen once again.
*Last year when Paul and I took a trip to Nelson, British Columbia in Canada, we stopped at a little book store, and I bought the book Forgiveness: A Gift From My Grandparents. This was a best selling book in Canada, and is the story the author, Mark Sakamoto tells of the effects World War II had on his grandparents, mostly through the eyes of his maternal grandfather Ralph Maclean who fought in the Canadian military and was captured by the Japanese and was a POW. The other part of the story was about his paternal grandmother, a Japanese Canadian whose family was relocated from Vancouver, British Columbia to Alberta to work on a sugar beet farm, enduring brutal work. It was interesting reading the Canadian perspective from World War II, as well as their treatment of the Japanese in their country.
