No, one of my VT's is inactive and the other one has been out of town for many months taking care of grandchildren. I have been getting meals this last week though, but everybody is too busy to want to visit. |

School's going okay, nothing interesting to say about it really. Just finished midterms, so we got a day off. It is so windy, and cold here. I'm about to go out to return a battery charger that isn't working. |

It was in Toronto, Downsview, the first time I ever experinced freezing rain. Wow! And the heat and humidity, and the cold winters. Yep, I remember Ontario. |

I am so sorry to hear that Sue. Wish I could be there to visit with you and play a game or something. Even wait on you! I would love to help out! There has not been much contact from church for me either. Sure hope things look up soon. |
Sue H Posts: 8172 Joined: 29th Jun 2007 Location: USA | quotePosted at 17:48 on 9th November 2008 Well It's certainly made me look at how I treat my own compassionate service. I will definitely take the time to visit when next I am called on to serve. Sometimes it's more than a meal people want. |

They need to be reassured that they are worthwhile. So by spending the time with them, sometimes just listening can really lifts some ones spirits! |
Sue H Posts: 8172 Joined: 29th Jun 2007 Location: USA | quotePosted at 17:57 on 9th November 2008 Oh and by the way, I would love to play games with you. Our family (husbands family here in town) are big game players, and we usually have one night a month where we get together to play games. What are your favourites? |

Those night are the most fun aren't they?!! I wish I had somebody here to play games with. My dining room table is piled high with junk. With having ADD and then all the stuff that goes on here it is hard to keep clean. Wish I could start over with a spotless house! Do you have a magic wand? LOL |
