Home

We have been asked how we can stand to be away from home for so long. It has been 6 1/2 months this time with a short two week return in April, just long enough to plant the garden. John's answer to this question is that "home has many faces for us".

Home for us during his recovery has been at my sister's in Burnaby where we share meals, laughter and pets. Rocky(the aging dog) naps alongside my patient in the afternoons. Lucky(the huge black cat) routinely demands treats and strokes. In the kitchen I share daily meal prep and essential glasses of wine with my sister.

We are very grateful to our hosts in Puerto Vallarta, Vancouver and Burnaby for sharing their homes with us. Also, our long absence wouldn't have been possible without the regular visits of our neighbour who collected mail and kept a watchful eye on our property. Many thanks to all.

Where will we call home next winter?
