Cathy from southern Ontario

Happy Easter to you and your family! Love that pic of your cat. I have a cat too but she is a persistent busybody, annoying loveable mutt of a cat. Was my son's but since he moved out to be a US Marine, we inherited her.
Here's some Easter goodies for you!

Thanks for your visit and your kind words, Cathy! And a Hoppy Easter to you, too!

How are the cats dealing with all construction chaos? You still seem upbeat about it. Just keep repeating, "New kitchen! New Kitchen!" if it gets to you!

Happy Easter Cathy and thank you for your very kind and heartfelt words. Muffin was a very loved member of the family. I miss her so much. It is the little things that get to you.
I still find myself looking for her and if there is left over chicken I will suddenly think that "Muffin will like this".
I know that she will live on forever in my heart and I will never forget her or her funny little ways.
Hope your Easter is happy and filled with love, laughter and the company of good friends and family.
Bless you.
Wendy

Glad you enjoyed your visit to Stowe. Unfortunately I don't make it to the mountains often. We are in a valley so we are surrounded by them and the view is beautiful from down here. My son is fascinated by the idea of them. He doesn't get that once you are in them it doesn't look that much different.

I agree, Cathy. I think having fun is what has kept our marriage strong for 39 years! Laughing and being silly are so much more enjoyable than silence or harsh words, don't you think?

Cathy, thank you for your support. We're trying to focus on all the fun we had with Simon. It gets better day by day.

Cathy, I have been overwhelmed by the kindness shown to me for my birthday. It really does make your day to find well wishers from all over the world.
From the bottom of my heart, I thank you.

Dear Cathy, I am sorry for the bad news, but like Kathy said that are many different things they can do today, stay positive, just one day at a time. and prayers for you.

I was sorry to hear of your diagnosis Cathy. Hopefully it is in the early dry stage and you can hold the problem in check with the vitamins and treatment. This seems to be a more prevalent problem in women lately. Chin up and stay positive. I'll keep you in my thoughts.

Warm thoughts and fervent prayers coming your way, Cathy. Anyone who can use "young" and "53" in the same sentence is going to be OK!

Cathy, good thoughts and prayers coming your way.

Cathy hope you get some comfort from talking to the people at CNIB. Glad also that your hubby is supportive. Wishing you the very best and will continue to keep you in my prayers and in my heart.
André is slowly getting his energy back but has to have a blood test because the count is low.
Guess we have to keep on looking at the bright side of it all. We are still planing on leaving for our campsite on the 15th of May. We stay there 4 months( without the internet) I am looking forward to the camping but will miss the contact with you and all the lovely people in Sudokuland. Take care and drop by anytime.

Cathy, so sorry to hear about the diagnosis. I'm thinking about you and hoping that it is slow in it's growth. Have the doctor's said how bad it is? Take care of yourself and much love xxx

You sound a wonderfully positive person Cathy...all the best

Cathy, whilst you keep others in your thoughts, I keep you in mine.
All the very best with treatments.

Cathy, how sweet of you to remember Simon in the middle of your so much more difficult news. May you fight it with everything you've got, and may you win.

Debby; so sorry to hear about the macular degener-
ation diagnosis. However, now there are several new therapies/treatments available. My prayers are that at least one works for you. Hopes, prayers and best wishes heading your way.

Sorry to hear about your eye problems.. my thoughts and prayers.

How goes it in the new Kitchen department .. is it finished yet..
My ensuite Renovations is coming along.. The Tiler is here this morning to lay Wall Tiles.. he did the floor a couple of days ago.

Hello to Arthur...
Hope your appointment at the Institute for the Blind was productive. And yes, we have some wonderful people on this site!

Cathy, I was at my eye doctor this morning and was mentionning your predicament. She gave me a sample of the Vitamine that they prescribe.
It is called Vitalux AREDS and made for your condition. She sounds very positive about the help of these vitamines. If it is different than what was prescribe, you may want to look into it.
I could mail you the sample that she gave me but it is not necessary if you already have seen those. It seems to be made by Novartis Ophthalmics. Take care!

Debby, I am sorry to hear about the diagnosis. My MIL has the same problem. Hers started in her 50's also. My prayers are with you. Take care!

Hello Cathy

I am very happy for your good news ,

Good luck .

Cathy, what wonderful, news!! I am so happy for you!

Hello to Arthur & his friends!
Congrats on diagnosing those pesky freckles! Talk about answered prayers!
Guess what? We are joining the ranks of remodeling/building! We are adding a room to the back of our house! It will have lots of floor to ceiling windows and room for a corner art studio! I won't have to put my painting paraphernalia away every time I want to eat!

Cathy, what wonderful news. There are a whole lot of meaningful things I could say, but to put it simply - I am delighted.

Cathy, that is wonderful news... :)

Oh Cathy, I am so happy for you. What wonderful news.

Cathy: How incredibly awesome that you don't have macular degeneration. I guess it really pays to always get a second opinion on something as serious as MD. I'd still be celebrating if I were you.

Excellent, excellent news!
Couldn't have happened to a nicer person. I am so pleased for you Cathy.
Let's be truly grateful.

Cathy.
I've been busy this weekend, and have only just caught up on yesterdays posts.
what fantastic news!
I'm so happy for you, its just wonderful.

Cathy, I am so glad to have been some comfort during what must have been a very difficult time. I must say though, that I think it is your husband who needs help.
All the best for what must now be a bright future.

Cathy, just to let you know that our sudoku family came through once again! My niece that so many of our sudokuists prayed for was released from the hospital this evening after 10 days. Oh! How we are blessed with this extended family!

Almost forgot... Hello to Arthur!

Hello Cathy - I stopped by for an update on the remodeling. (I have kind of been out of it for a while.) Is it close to being finished?

Hello Cathy - Thanks for the visit! Remodeling isn't fun, but the end results are amazing!!!! Thanks for the update. I hope to see pictures when you are finished!!! I could tell you stories about construction you wouldn't believe! I always said that I should write a book, but they would publish it under Fiction!!!! Those days are behind me and I am thankful for that. If the economy ever picks up, we hope to build a home in Virginia. (Our dream) But.....I dread the day construction will begin. Hang in there Cathy. I see you have a kitchen sink!!!!!! There is a light at the end of the tunnel!!!!

Have a great day, Cathy. Thank you for stopping!

Dear CATHY.
Many thanks for your lovely and very kind wishes for my Sister.
We thank GOD she doing well now.
Many thanks and wish you a very nice Day and Time.

Thank you, Cathy!!! I have been enjoying the day, told everyone today I'm going by Australian time and tomorrow I'll go by American time. Made numerous excuses to do as I please because . . . !!! You're such a sweetie!! Thank you!

Dear Cathy,
Thank you for your support while I have been ill. I never expected such a response from this site, everyone’s concern and caring has overwhelmed me. I can only say that it is the genuine people here who make this a very unique place to share our hopes, dreams, ups and downs. So thank you for being there.
