Not long now till Christmas.

Posted on by joansjottingscom
A treat for Jake. A day pass to Jamberoo Recreation Park with Paul and me. The other 3 grandkids had activities on so couldn’t go but that didn’t detract from Jake’s excitement. He and Paul had some quality time together and it was an enjoyable day.

I heard from a reliable source that bikes were a probable theme this Christmas so I found my trusty bike tucked away in the garage in need of some TLC and set about bringing it up to it’s shinny best.

It could be very handy as it folds up making it easy to put in the car.

I bought the ham and turkey for Christmas dinner today. That was always Chris’s job as it was a special catch up time with Michael our butcher/friend who provided us with good quality meat each year. Chris’s first outing after discharge from hospital was to collect the meat order. It was quite an occasion.

A special moment, Michael dressed up for the occasion.

I’ve decided not to send out cards this year as it’s just too hard to omit Chris’s name when signing. Maybe that’s silly but I can’t do it. Suffice to say I do wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year.

Retired in April 2017 after a long career in cardiac nursing which I loved, I find my life has totally changed. After almost loosing my husband last August to a dissecting aortic aneurysm complicated by a massive watershed stroke post cardiothoracic surgery, we are adapting to a very different life together. This is our now story. Update, November 2025. Chris continued to do well until he had a stroke in August 2018. This time after 2 weeks on life support with no sign of improvement he passed away peacefully with the family present. RIP Chris, much loved and missed.
