FAVOURITE THINGS FRIDAY!


Today I am thankul that we didn't get this much snow.
.
About 75 miles north west of us they got hammered!
This photo is from the Weather Network of Beeton Ontario which is a small town. London Ontario also got so much that schools, buses etc were halted and snow days were issued! Fun for kids, but not if you had to shovel 40 inches of snow in four days!
.
Here in Whitby, we got a smattering...just enough to push the snow off the driveway..I'm thankful.
.
Today...wahoo...is my six week check up with the good doctor who replaced my hip. I wonder what they do with the old bones? Anyway, let's see what he says about the little problem of a little bit of extra length on the leg.
.
Yesterday, I actually went out in the car by myself. I cannot tell you the feeling of freedom! I called a girlfriend from the car saying I felt so free and she asked if I had my passport with me and if so, swing by and pick her up as she needed to go somewhere too!

Just the probability of snow shuts down my town. LOL! Glad you don't have to use that new hip to shovel snow today. Here's hoping your doctor's appointment brings you good news. :o) Happy Friday! :o)

Now that's a great girlfriend who is ready to jump at a moment with you to run away. :D

I'm glad the healing seems to be going so well and am thankful you don't have to deal with that much snow also!

I'm happy for your continued recovery and renewed feeling of freedom. Hubby got a new hip last year, and I was happy when he could drive himself again too!

Happy Happy Happy - for not too much snow and the great progress on your hip.

Sunshine said...

Tsk tsk Nanci! On the cell phone while driving - good thing you didn't get caught, or that would have been a quick end to your freedom! :)
I'm surprised you didn't take the old hip home - I totally would have asked for it!

Glad you're feeling good!

Shannon said...

I hope your appointment goes well. 40 inches! Wow, I am glad that it missed you. We got 12 inches last Tuesday. But 40 inches. LOL!

Marie said...

i'd go nuts if 40" fell...13 is our forecast for the weekend and that is setting me over the edge. congrat's on the new hip .... good luck with the doc!

Marg said...

Now 40" is a lot of snow. I can safely say that will never happen here, not even 2".
So pleased to hear all is well with your hip, although a little bit extra length sounds interesting, to say the least. Good luck with the doc. appointment, I can't believe it's been 6 weeks already, it seems to have gone so fast.

Michelle said...

Many congrats on the continued progress with your hip, although the extra leg length sounds....dicey? Challenging? But hey, getting out and about on your own is truly a favorite that we all take for granted until we can't.

that is a lot of snow, we have not gotten any yet this December, maybe some flurries tomorrow night we will see - it will be cold enough.

Glad the massive snow falls missed you. I cant fathom driving in that kind of weather at all.
It rained like the dickens here Tuesday and that was bad enough.

Hope the checkup went well. I could tell you what they do with the unwanted bones but it might gross you out. I asked for my gallstones when I had my last surgery.

I hope big snow continues to miss you. Amnd that you get to escape again soon.

(I had visions of you in a convertible burning down the highway at 100 miles an hour when I read that part)

What kind of mischief did you two get into on your first day of freedom? I'm sure the dr will say all is well.....but let us know what he does say :0)

I bet you had a high old time, driving the car on your own! Snow looks all soft and floofy like a cloudy cushion but I know it's really cold and wet and it's no fun having to shovel it.......but it is pretty. I'll swap you some snow for our floods, yes, the river is up again, 2nd time this year.

Quiltgal said...

Isn't it great to feel real freedom. Glad yourout and about.

Elizabeth said...

That's A LOT of snow. I think it would be my favorite thing too if that happened in the town over by not my town. I really dislike the cold and snow, but live where we get lots of snow in the winter too. Glad you're doing well and up and about.
