Musings of a new Vancouverite. Friday, November 21, 2008. Homeless in Vancouver, Early Dementia, Learning to Read. I want my occupancy permit and my business licence! We are frustrated at not being able to get into our space. We have bought a computer and some office furniture. The retailers are keeping it for us until we can get it into the office. I am champing at the bit to get going. But the wheels of bureaucracy turn ever so slowly. Now I shall have to get down on my knees and beg my dentist to resc...

Prairie Crocus Transplanted: Sadness, Happiness, Sadness
http://cousey.blogspot.com/2009/02/sadness-happiness-sadness.html
Musings of a new Vancouverite. Sunday, February 15, 2009. Sadness, Happiness, Sadness. August 31, 1923 - February 8, 2009. These pictures were taken the last time I visited my father at the Ridgewood Personal Care Home in Saint John New Brunswick. I am struck by how old he looked and how much he looked like his mother, my grandmother Comeau. She was 86 when she died, too. When he returned from Europe he met my mother and they married on August 3, 1946. My parents had a total of 8 children, but three ...

Prairie Crocus Transplanted: December 2009
http://cousey.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Musings of a new Vancouverite. Thursday, December 17, 2009. Going to Visit Pa. Dennis Ousey June 14, 1947-December 16, 2005. Margot, Remy and I went to see grandpa at the cemetery today. Remy calls him "Pa." It was freaking cold and raining cats and dogs. We didn't stay long. Then we went shopping. A little retail therapy never hurts. It has been 1472 days since he left us. There are many people out there who miss him. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Going to Visit Pa. View my complete profile.

Prairie Crocus Transplanted: Five Years
http://cousey.blogspot.com/2010/12/five-years.html
Musings of a new Vancouverite. Thursday, December 16, 2010. Hello to all who knew Dennis Ousey. Today is the fifth anniversary of the day he died. We still mourn our loss. He was a good man and many are missing him. This afternoon Joel and Remy and I are going to the cemetery. And we may go for a trip up Grouse Mountain, a trip he enjoyed in the past. I hope to post pictures either here or on Facebook. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal; love leaves a memory no one can steal from an Irish headstone.

Prairie Dog Blog
http://dousey.blogspot.com/2007/04/winterpeg-dad-in-care-brother-reformed.html
Comment-link {margin-left:.6em;}. When in danger, prairie dogs will stand on their hind legs and alert the other prairie dogs in the town by yelping. Winterpeg, Dad-in-care, Brother Reformed. That's what it feels like today- still winter! I am so happy that he is in a safe place. I told the physio-therapist that he likes to play cards and I'm hoping they will play with him once in a while. It will keep him going longer. My cousin Lucy and I went shopping to buy him a few more clothes. Links to this post.
