#1164- Vol.26 - So MUCH is Going On! - Sept/1, 2026

Dear Friend,

I see so MUCH going on in my life, and all around me; how about you?

Is it getting hard to know where to focus your eyes for you as well? I'll refrain from guessing what keeps you active and on the move. (I'd likely be guessing wrong, don't you think?)

So if you should happen to be bored, you might just find all that's happening in my life - or rather, mine and my sister Erma's life too. We seem to do quite a lot together.

Like taking Erma shopping for more supplies for her new apartment... so I end up buying too!

Erma got word of a clinic with doctors taking new patients. I have not had a doctor since Covid began some years ago. (Mine retired right about then). I had not found another doctor, and gave up trying to find one.

So we both went yesterday... and were pleased to have a lovely vivacious woman doctor, who wore a muslim scarf, but spoke excellent, very friendly English. She found it fascinating that Erma and I were sisters. She saw the evidences!

Erma got to meet her first, and came out to say she really liked our female doctor. I had to wait a while longer, then I was called in to meet her. I had my medical history all organized on 2 sides of a sheet of paper - just as I used to do for Mom. (Saves time trying to remember so many dates and details when asked pointed questions.)

This doctor promised to study it but saw quickly that I'd had a number of fractures and wants me to go to a lab for blood work so that she can tell me about what more helps I might need.

I was planning to go this morning, but had already had my breakfast when I realized that I was not to eat anything before the blood was drawn from me. - I've put it off until tomorrow morning now.

I've been trying to get some weed-pulling done after supper but it will take a while to get whole garden weeded just once. Because of all the shopping we did, my garden weeding and the watering were ignored, and now I'm trying to catch up... if it isn't too late!

Also, I was too busy with all the coming and going places with Erma and so didn't get to checking and picking my raspberries. Now I saw they are dried up curls at the place where they should be. I feel somewhat badly about missing that crop!

Sigh! I guess I should admit that I've become somewhat addicted to watching You-Tube videos to follow what is happening with the political problems, especially between Canada and the USA. What a SAGA! But I thank God for the good sense of our Prime Minister Carney, He has a very sensible head on his shoulders.

I trust your summer has been great, and that you are enjoying every part and every day! Right to the last drop of the goodness!

Blessings & Thanks,
Ruth Friesen

P.S. I'll try to get back on my publishing routine with the RoseBouquet next week.
