Blown away! The iPhone Translator

 

Guess I am never too old to learn, eh? The other day when Stephie and I went shopping at a Chinese supermarket, we were challenged to communicate with one of their agents. He did not speak much English and our skills to communicate in his language were zero.

So,what did he do? He pulled out his trusty iPhone and through gesturing and pointing, we managed to somehow tell him what we were seeking.

Presto!  He found what we were looking for in no time. Another wonder of the iPhone translator.

Faithful to the end: My Precious Orchids

 

For so many years now I have had the good fortune to be able to grow orchids and keep them in the window of my living room. When I had enough vision, I loved to admire and marvel over their gorgeous colours. And now that I can no longer see them, I find enjoyment in touching their thick flowers.

I run my hand up and down their stalks and I fondle their thick luscious leaves. I simply love communicating with my precious orchids.

This hurts! When something precious is stolen

I don’t think that I am any different from the rest of society when it comes to feelings of loss and anger after something precious is stolen. Especially so when said something is unique, a sort of heirloom, and no one can be held responsible for said theft.

This is what happened to me when one of the contractors working at my condo complex stole my Mercedes car cushion. This was no ordinary cushion.  It was in the shape of a Mercedes car and could be opened up to be the shape of said car.

This is going to be very difficult to find on the Internet, let alone be replaced, and the one who stole it should be ashamed of themselves for having stolen from a person with a vision impairment.

We need more little Clairs! Oh Clair

How very fortunate I am to have had such an exceptional lady and human being be part of my life.  Albeit it was just a tad too short.

I got to know Clair when we both became members of the Air Canada advisory committee. From the very start when I met her, she walked the walk with me.

She guided me, listened to my input, was always there to assist, and at the end of the day her presence enriched my experience.

Clair was unique.  She had the gift of giving.  She was generous and kind, patient and compassionate. Clair observed, quietly contributed, and made the world a better place for all of us who were lucky to know her.

Rest in peace, Clair.  Thank you for having fought the good fight. Until we meet again!

It never gets easier! Saying goodbye to Mom once more

 

It never gets easier each time I have to leave Mom after another visit.

What I have accidentally discovered is that it is easier when she accompanies me to the airport. Not sure why it is easier this way but it sure is.

Could it be that it is more meaningful to have her come with me to the airport? Whatever it is, maybe it is because there are more people around us!

Then neither of us will feel sad when the final minute comes

Another sad moment: Preparing to return home

 This is never really easy for me and each time it only becomes a tad more difficult.

My visits to Mom are over so quickly. So much preparation to get there.

So much fun, and then that dreaded day to leave. Mom takes it well but her tears always hurt.

The good thing is that I’ll be back before you know it.

Too bad: Crystal's unfortunate action

As they say!  You almost always reap what you sow.  Or to look at it in a different way? Be honest in all you do!

This did not apply to poor Crystal, one of Mom’s care givers. In short, she did not tell her boss or us that she was 8 months pregnant and this is an absolute  must. Especially so for a care giver.

Mom had noticed it on this particular morning and then my sister in law confirmed it about an hour later.

We would never know why Crystal chose this path, but at the end of the day she could easily have brought harm to herself.
