Re: Brother John

[Jo & John MacLean]

Hi little sister, good to hear from you and thanks for the wishes. I guess we were kind of out of the loop with being up north so didn't know who was home and who was away.  It sounds like the whole clan was in N.S. and I wish I could have been there also, but got home too late. Maybe next year as the leafs say. Cliff and I did not get flying today as the weather was marginal vfr around Kingston and East.  I am too old to take any chances with bad weather especially when I have passengers with me so we will wait until the weather envelope is suitable . Jo has gone up to the cottage with her mother and her friend Heather Bosman. Heathers husband passed away suddenly last year and Heather is having a hard time adjusting. He used to love raking leaves at the cottage when they would visit us there. A nice man and only 62 when he had the stroke. I am counting my blessings. Ha. We had a wonderful visit with Alan and his friends in Simpson, they made us feel at home and provided partys, barbeques and free flights and accommodations etc. just too much. We will bore you all with the trip  details when we see everyone again. Talk later , Love ,John

HI John
 
Want to wish you a very Happy 65th.. Just arrived back from Cape Breton about two hours ago and checking mail. We had a super trip but the old bones cannot take the long drive anymore. HA. Wishing you many more happy years and I agree with Don. When I regain my bearings after the trip will be in touch again. I have not heard from the rest of the gang and hope they all arrive safe and sound. We left before they did as they (Steve, Karen, Marina <Kyle and Aud. Ted and his daughter) planned to spend Wed Nite in Antigonish.
 
Take good care and you and Cliff have a safe trip.
 
Love to Jo.
 
Marlene

Thank you dear brother for the kind words. You can add golf hacker to the list. Ha. I also caught some fish but had to go to the North West territories to find fish. Saw some moose (Cow and  two calves) but did not shoot them. One of these years I may catch a moose as Jo calls it.  Don't really know what to do if I ever did catch one. Ha. I don't know where the past 30 or so years went. I think I skipped a dozen or so in there someplace. But I don't feel any different for becoming a senior but can now use those parking spaces legally.  I am waiting for the weather to clear so Cliff and I can go to Morrisburg area to get Cliffs plane. He had Magneto trouble on his way home from N.S. He has acquired a spare mag which I will change and ferry it home with him. I am flying my plane to pick him up and fly it to Iroquois where the plane sits.  Talk to you soon. Love john.
