Friday:
We woke up this morning with little hope of getting down to South Jersey, but after a couple of hours we decided to give 'er a shot ! I went out and shoveled out Chelle's car( it was parked on the street, becuase the driveway is a mayjor slope), when i walked down the driveway, the snow went up to my thighs. I don't remeber seeing this much snow in FOREVER !!!! The small streets were pretty snowy, but once we hit the highways, they were pretty much perfect. We made it down to Mark and Chirsty's house in good time. We spent the afternoon hanging out with Paul Jonathan.. Dave was already there with Robin and Aaron ( Joy Gorgas's foster kids) , so some Candy Land games were played. Joy came and picked up the little kids after a couple of hours. We had taco salad for super was over, Mark got his guitar and we sang for about an hour. John Denver and gospel hymns, gorgas style. Little Paul really likes music, keeps him quiet. then at 8 we watched all the Olympics until about 11. then we sang some more and just hung out.

Just another day in paradise....
Wednesday, Feb 24, 2010
I have been spending time with Vic during the days. I really like taking care of people. When i was picking her up on time, she started to say something , so i waited until she said it.." I trust you Gen. " :) yay. She's often scared of being moved around, because it hurts. But apparently I can do it without her feeling anything. *ca ching* :)
whenever she asks me to do something for her, she often sais " im sorry".
Dude, its a priviledge to help her :)
Uncle Jim has come over every day to visit\bring over cookies. ( he's Dick Gorgas' brother , and he lives in across the street).

SNOW DAY !!! We are being hit with MAYJOR snow. Its falling fast and HEAVY! which is very un ussual for NJ.
So that meant that Aunt Lyn had the day off of work ( she's a Spanish Teacher), so she stayed home and took care of Vic. While, I went over to aunt Peg's house with Micelle, and we took care of her 4 boys. We went for a walk in the woods and went sledding for about an hour. it was sooo pretty !!! :)
Chelle and I are planning on going down to Dorothy for the weekend. Its Heather D'Amour's wedding shower, and we'll get the chance to see Paul Gorgas. :)

IM FREEEE !!!!!
Monday, January 22, 2010.
Chelle brought me over to Aunt Lyn's at around 11am. I spent the next couple of house talking with Vic, getting caught up with her. Its good to be with her again. :) Her health aid came at 2-4. ( thats when i blog and answer emails). Vic seems to be doing very good in comparision to last year. She's not in a lot of pain, and she wears her leg braces 24\7. Hopefully she'll be back in school by Monday. We'll see how well she does....
Vic and I hung out for the rest of the day until supper, playing on the computer and such things. Aunt Lyn made a good supper ( as usual), I love her cooking. Its so " American" :)
After supper, I wheeled Vic to the living room. I had to remember how to take her out of the wheelchair and into her Lazy Boy without bending her legs. I had forgotten, it has been a year since Ive done it. And like I had promised Vic, I took off her Knee Immoblizers to massage her legs.
" IMMM FFREEEEEE" !!! she said, with a big smile on her face.
I got some nice cream and massaged her legs, and tried to do it to the best of my knowledge. I tried to remember what my physio therapist had done to my leg\knee a few years back. After just a few minutes...
" * sigh*, you do it SO much better than the doctors at the hospital" - Vic.
I did her therapy excersizes with her and put back the immobilizers. " sorry vic" . she is so brave.
gen-e-vi-eve!!!!!!!!

We both got up really late, so we had to rush to get a chicken and potatoes in the crockpot, before running out for meeting. Sunday school was at 9:45. The adult "Class" was reading in Revelations. After sunday school , I went and said hi to everyone. It was nice to me in the mt.tabor assembly again ! I gave Grandma ( gorgas) the Red River Cereal that i had brought her ( you can't buy it in the States, so when i come down to Jersey, I always buy her some), and she was really pleased because she had just run out. So it was worth the effort of carrying the cereal on the train from montreal. :) and then Emma Gorgas ( 5) comes running up to me....
"geeenneevviiieeevveeee,oh i missed you " !!! haha, what a little drama queen. I missed these little girls. Chelle laughed and said " well, when Gen's in town Im not so special anymore" :) haha. sorry chelle!!
Katherine invited Chelle and I to her home for lunch , so on our way to Kat's house, we went back to Chelle's and turned off the crockpot. We had Baked Spaghetti and salad for lunch, and Katherine's home is very homey. :)
Gospel. Aaron Sacks took it and he talked about " Fate and Faith". very nice message.
Back at home, chelle and i forced outself to eat the meal that we had prepared for our lunch, even though we were stuffed full. Then we lazed around on her " couch" ( haha, its a bed), and looked at old pictures and listened to Gorgas type music.
Aunt Lyn and Victoria came home from the hospital at around 8pm , and we planned for me to arrive at their place monday morning.

Lazy Saturday.....

Chelle had an interview at 10am, so I slept in, read my bible and wrote down some songs. Aunt Peg's house has a lot of windows and it was nice to sit in the sun for a while. so cozy ! When chelle came back after a few hours we headed out to Aunt Pegs new house. We hung out and took care of the boys ( Joshua -8 Robert -8 Christopher-7 and Jonathan -1 ), while Aunt Peg did some jobs.
At 5pm, Chelle and I went back to her house and Shari ( Rosario) came over. We made supper together and hung out all evening. I made Cupcakes and we had strawberry and choclate frosting until we were full. We sat around Chelle's tiny kitchen until 9:30, and Shari went home. It was fun to hear Chelle and Shari talk about their childhoods. Its interesting to hear all the stories.....

Excuse me miss, I just had to tell you.....
Friday, Feb 19, 2010
I left from Aunti-Di's house on Friday morning at 8am. The train ride from Montreal to New York was just like it always is. Long and sorta boring ,since Ive already done it about 5 times. And just like all the previous times, we are always held up at the border. Because the train is left from Montreal, there are tons of people on the train who are immigrants, who most of the time don't speak english or french. So those are the people who are hauled off the train with their new born babies and luggage while the rest of the train waits...patienty?
This time on the train I hardly slept. I was given a sweet notebook a couple of days ago, so Im using it to write down my favourite songs. So I spent hours of the trip writing out songs and little flock hymns etc....
Once we reached Penn Station ( NYC), I had just enough time to call Chelle to tell her what time my train would arrive at, buy my ticket from Penn to Dover, and get on my last 2 hour train ride. ( side note: something always goes wrong\something exiting happens on my train rides to and from Jersey but at this point, everything had gotten pretty smoothly). So I was jus sitting waiting for something to happen since something usually does:P haah.
" Excuse me,,,,,,Excuse me....".
(I turned my head to the man sitting across the isle from me. )
" I don't want to bother you, but I just have something to tell you "
( Oh brother...I thought..here we go )
" I just want to tell you, that you look really pretty with that bandana on your head".
( I smiled and said " thank you", cross that I didn't have a choise except to accept the compliment..haha"
" And im sorry, I don't want to bother you, I just had to tell you "
hahaha. :)
Chelle met me as soon as i hopped off of the train and we drove to her place. She lives at Aunt Peg's old house , for now atleast. We spent the next 2 hours chatting it up and catching up on life. Its good to be back in Jersey again....
