Dear Harold I was delighted to get your email It sounds like you haven't been getting perfect weather also I stayed in all weekend with our freezing rainetc. didn't go to church on sunday or out of the house all weekend I had my dentist aptment on tuesday at 3p.m. and when my laneway was still blocked with ice and snop I finally tel ephoned my gue and about eleven thirty he got my message and came at  eleven and I could see it was a struggle forhim pushing at the ice at the bottom of the driveway. He was worried about damaging the stone flag stones just made a foot wide path through the ice and we pit more salt pellets and finally pickling sault! MY apptment was for 90 minutes did I tel you last week after my six months check up He said there was infection in behind my two front teeth had toremove them and put capsin for the next two weeks until he gets the new ones to replace them I am playing bridge this afternoon but the replacements don't look too bad for the next two weeks feels i bit rough in behind them with my tongue and I am supposed to not bite roughly for the next two weeks It will probably cost me several thousand dollars. I think he was wondering if I could afford it but I said to go ahead  Chris is coming for three nights --on the twentieth . He uses the bath tub so I will wait till you come to look at the  light in the shower also I think my beeper needs new battery I seem to have a lot of appointments this month my drivers test next tuesday dr nimigan may 3rd Dr beaubien on may18th have to take a taxi up to the hospital for me blood test on the fourth of may two weeks before --I will be paying the dentist on the first of may  I think Ruth and I will be going up north the last week inmay to see nora and Aylish and Annes new house, She goes back to work on June14th and Emily on the 30th of April will have to see Nora on a week end.Emma sent me some pictures of their wedding they came through my mail slot separately last night nine pictures five of them of Lucy she had sent them to 443 Rosedale instead od 433 so I wonder what neighbour sent them here last night The street is only one block long I will have to get one of you to walk down and see who that was at 443Rosedale It sounds as if you are having a lovely time Ruth mentioned she liked the horses All for now love Mother
