Well, i gotta say this hospital gig is not too bad, aside from the occasional medical crises, the 7:30 morning bugle calls and the bossy nurses ordering me into the shower , and asking me about my bowel movements . Here I am enjoying some Reid's chocolates ( thanks John and Dale) and watching The Schmenge Brothers Reunion, on Youtube.
Now in the spirit of Christmas I would like to share. I can't share the chocolates because they'll all be gone by the time you get here, BUT here is a link to the Schmenge Brothers video:

Hi folks,

Thought I should let you know that Edward Long, Uncle Frank's oldest son passed away today. I believe Edward was 68. He had been in very poor health for some time and was on dialysis for a few years. He will be cremated. His funeral will be sometime next week after his son Scott gets back from Afghanistan.
Please pass this news on to Ed. Georgina called me tonight to let me know about Edward. She also said that Edward was very concerned about Ed Jardine and has been asking Georgina for the updates on Ed's progress.

Thanks,
Ann

Ed has his laptop up and running. He would rather you contact him on the net rather than using the phone. He is not on Facebook and is not a fan. He can be reached at edward@bloggo.ca

Hi Folks,

Ken and Ann Klein and all the not so "little" Kleins would like to thank the Jardine Cousins for thinking of us and sending smoked salmon our way last weekend with Brenda's nephew who was travelling to this neck of the woods. It's a real treat and we greatly appreciate your thinking of us.
