It would be nice to escape the health system in one's old age. The trick is to how to do it? My wife and I were at a Clinic today; I was giving blood and my partner got a good report from her Doctor in St. Isidore. We celebrated by having lunch in Muir's bakery in Maxville.

We were blessed at the holidays by having our grandchildren visit the farm. They are growing-up and getting smarter by the minute. We were pleased to be remembered by them. Of course they love dressing-up and listening to stories of olden times.
