Me, call you old? I don't think so! I would never...

Oh dear. Let us know how you’re doing in the new place when you feel up to it. The link should be in your email. Let me know if you didn’t receive it. Hugs. πŸ’›

I’m so sorry. Remember to be gentle and kind with yourself these next days.

Sleep when you can. That’s how you’ll heal.

Keep us updated. πŸ’›

Darn. I was hoping it wasn’t so bad as to need surgery.
How are you doing? Is the pain manageable? Will someone look in on your little guy? πŸ’›

Butter rum is also delicious!

I forgot how nice it is to make bread pudding on a cold day.

We made it once or twice a week growing up, but I haven’t made it in years. Funny how the recipe sticks in your head after all that time.

Cinnamon & vanilla makes everything smell wonderful!

*Remember to reconstitute the raisins.

Dear @gandersocial.bsky.social

I have checked my inbox.

Once again, you have left me heartbroken.

I'm an excellent Greek alphabet type.

Unlike @markkubert.bsky.social, I understand how real cheese makes the difference...but I prefer mine to be on poutine, because I know Canadian comfort. 🫒

No trips. We just haven’t seen anything that fits into our schedule. Maybe sometime closer to Spring.

These are the people we actually need in our world. Fascists are a dime a dozen. Heroes are rare. (including your beautiful wife)πŸ’›

It feels like the entire world is on edge, doesn’t it?

Please remember the people who provide customer service, healthcare, and education also feel that stress.

Shall we collectively try to remember to give people a break?

Can we try to find something to laugh about together?

Love,
April πŸ’›

I never thought I would see the day when I found some respect for the literal dumbest Canadians who managed to drive across the 2nd largest country in the world in the middle of winter, shut down our capital for a month and stop over 3 billion $ of goods from crossing the border (this is a subskeet)
