Wednesday Apr 4/12 update
It is with great sadness that we report the passing of our
beloved stepfather, Lucien Hebert, husband of our mother, Yvonne Bourassa
Hebert, at 3:30 this morning. It is
ironic that this has occurred on what would have been our father Horace's 110th
birthday.
I pulled a muscle in my back again and spent most of the day
waiting for pain medication to kick in.
We tried a new house cleaner today named Maria. Maria speaks some English which really helps
and Bella seems to be really pleased with her work.
Tonight we met Greg at Big Kabudas Burgers. His wife Leona didn’t make it as she is
fasting and cleansing for a colonoscopy tomorrow. They
are the couple looking to move here from Belize .
Then we walked to downtown from there. I actually had to walk fast to relieve some
of the back pain. If I walked as slow as
Bella the pain was excruciating. There
was an Easter choral concert (Encuentro de Musica Sacra) in the Old Cathedral
and we also met Garth and Orilla Bogart from Edmonton there as well. Being able to sit in a straight-backed chair
was very soothing. The concert was very
quick, only 10 musical pieces but the first two groups, plus the finale with
all groups, were excellent. Two
selections are on YouTube:
Again, the price was right, ….free. I then got a nice back massage in the cab as
it went over the cobblestone streets.
The old cathedral is so picturesque at night being all white
and bathed in light. The new cathedral
is pretty, but not nearly as nice at night.
Enjoy the pics and movies.
That was today’s excitement. Hugs
to all.
