We have been so busy

Thursday I took my parents to the local hospital to get blood tests and xrays.  Getting my dad out of the house and into the car is quite the ordeal as he can barely walk so has to be taken out in a wheelchair and there isn't a ramp.  My brother Philippe was on hand to help and I said they need a ramp here.  So he got right on it and started getting some lumber to put it together.  We made it to the hospital and back home without any incident.  Now we have to go to the doctor's office next week to get the results.

Friday we had a stay at home day and puttered around unpacking some more boxes until we got some really good news.  Our house was sold.  It was a really good offer with no conditions and we got our price so really there was no decision to be made other than to accept the offer.  So we just had to get another bottle of champagne.

We had decided to barbecue chicken wings for supper that night.  However we don't have a gas barbecue here so we got out our old Happy Cooker.  Its been a long time since we barbecued with charcoal so it took a little while before we remembered that we needed to cook with the lid off to get the coals really good and hot.  So it took a long time for those chicken wings to get cooked. Fortunately we had started barbecuing very early and we were excited about the offer so didn't mind waiting for the wings to be cooked.
