My husband flew in a plane landing on a lake in eastern Canada for a fishing trip. He was dropped off and they didn't come back for a week. When I was told that I really worried. Especially when it was fall and he had to ride in canoes with the water almost freezing. If it would have tipped he would have hypothermia in a very short time. I rode in the small plane in our local airport and it was an experience. You have been a very busy, busy gal but I'm glad to see things are all working out for you now. Isn't it amazing to get "new" eyes?

So between celebrations and letting my eye recuperate, I haven't had much time to get on line. Terry is planning on getting his eye done in January, after we return from Arizona, and I'll get mine done in April after Hawaii. I can't wait!!! I hope all is well with you and your Rare One! Have a great week!

I sometimes think my eyes are good, then I put my glasses back on and pow. The world is more in focus. <br /><br />I have never been in a small plane. We were going to do helicopter tours over the Grand Canyon, but they sold out before we arrived. I think that might be for the best since I am terrible at flying. I would be terrified to land on water, I would think. <br /><br />I think that's funny that the Indians were so curious they were peering through the window. Probably not funny for your father when he wanted a little privacy though. <br /><br />Have a wonderful weekend!Theresa Mahoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10709965543595065306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-91352387380008392402017-11-24T16:07:03.745-07:002017-11-24T16:07:03.745-07:00Wow...another wonderful post!!!

If ever I had to take a plane anywhere, they'd have to knock me out for the duration I think. I'm so happy that the surgeries went well for you and your hubby.

I always go by boat when I travel! I wouldn't fancy travelling on a small plane landing on water or snow! You are braver than me! Glad your father struck up a few friendships with the local Christians. I've had a few good friends who were priests, which I appreciated. I like Christians, as most have a sound, religious morality. Blessings to you. Enjoy the rest of your day.<br /><br />Thank you. Love love, Andrew.

Hugh is so happy now both eyes have a new lens each. The surgeon explained how it was all done!!! The island, isolation, mail twice a year, running cold water!!! I guess having running water was a huge blessing, was there a tank stand and water tank to collect rain off the roof?And I have wondered for a long time, how did your Mum get the laundry dry?
