Bethanne, you really must stop that heavy drinking at bedtime.

For redbaron and for people who live in Montreal, you may be aware that the city's Royal Victoria Hospital is moving to its new site now. But the news media have missed the big story. The hospital is built over the original Decarie farmhouse built by Jean Decarie. And Jean had the honour of being my first, Canadian ancestor.

I have written the hospital suggesting a plaque in my honour - but I suppose they're pretty busy right now.
 
Nice sunny day today, although coolish. Warmer than what I was expecting it to feel based on the forecast. Chemguy and I bought more stuff for the garden. Now that the boxes are filled he'll be ordering mulch to go between the boxes this week. Got some nice edging today, along with a few other things.

One would think they should rename the hospital for you, or at least your ancestor.

What kinds of renovations are you planning? Would any of it have to do with accessibility?

We're going to put metal rods up by the ceiling. We need to hold the walls together lest they fall down. We're also going to take the carpet up in the Fellowship Hall and replace it with tile. We may also do some work in the kitchen. The work we're going to do is based around holding the structure together, not around accessibility per se. We already have a lift and 50% of our washrooms have been made over to be accessible. In other news, I'm last.
 
If somebody who uses a wheelchair can't get in the Front door- or get up at t the front on the aids or stage a worship place is not accessible. How are they going to read scripture or light candles or preach?

That's a good question Tabitha. At my church, someone who uses a wheelchair ♿ can get up to our worship space, and down to our Fellowship Hall using our lift. They can get up to the front to read Scripture or preach. How about at your church Tabitha?
 
we do not have a church buildng. we are renting and about to move. Yes the front door and dining eating area/washrooms and santuary are all one level. We do have a six inch rise to our moveable platform. If we were not moving we would ramp that from the side. Last church we had to ramp the front. It was done in oak and looked great.
 
After church today we had a meeting to vote on extending a call for a second full time minister. A lot of people got up to speak and then at last we had a vote and unanimously decided to call the new minister.

Sounds good.

I've been at my church ⛪ for about 15 years now, and I can't recall a single time when someone in a wheelchair ♿ spoke or sang from the front. How about at your church ⛪?
 
I'll raise my glass of wine Tabitha!
Went grocery shopping - lots of junk, but there are soups, fruits, yogurt and eggs. We passed nutella so I threw it in the cart. Chemguy looked at me and asked if I needed it and I responded that it could be eaten with a spoon. After that he stopped questioning my choices. :LOL:
I'm feeling very worn out now, probably won't LAST much longer.
 
I too went food shopping tonight. My son came as I'm pushing him to get all the skills he needs before he moves out.
 
probably not a whole lot! Been through the wisdom teeth removal-both myself and 2/3 kids. It was -for us-easier than anticipated. Wishing you well.
