Happy Friday everyone! Hope you are having wonderful weather like we are. Today it was about 35°C and as you will see in the video below, it was quite warm as well, but then the cool weather moved in to create one of the best recipes we've enjoyed in a while....A good old thunderstorm !
It's been an adventurous week. As I was uploading this video, Craig sadly discovered our big van had a completely flattened tire! So I will be posting a video about today soon!
Hi guys! Alright, here is the grand finale of my exciting Walk And Talk. And remember what I said about walking!!! (It's in the video) For all of us who use wheels for legs, it is
Speaking of Canada Day, here I am about 24 years ago in Ottawa! My earlier walking days
totally cool to use the phrase or word WALK or Walking. For decades I have always used it in reference to myself or others who use wheels for legs and for years, to describe moving from one place to another. On occasion, there are folks who are uncomfortable using the "W" word to describe that motion when we use wheels for legs. They sometimes have even pointed out to me that I do not walk! I understand they mean well, (I think they do) but it is very difficult to bite my tongue and not be sarcastic. "No way! You mean I can't walk!? That explains a lot!" See, hard to not be. Sorry, I didn't mean to offend anyone.
So please know, if you use a wheelchair, it is way okay to say you are going for a walk or some such thing. If you are someone who is not in need of having to use wheels for legs and are worried about using the Walk word, it's okay to say it. Yes, there are a few of my peers who may insist on specifying that the wheeled or rolled or went for a cruise, etc. But in all my years, I haven't met any person who would be offended if you used the "W" word in reference to their movement.

Thanks for stopping by.
See you soon. Hope you get to go for a walk wheels or legs! If you know me, I mostly stay at home inside, creating(I am an artist.) So a walk is a big deal for me. But not in the old days!
Oh, and An update on Craig's new replacement power assist wheels status. We will receive a quote from the dealer Monday so we can pay the client portion before they can order the set. We decided to try the TWION brand by Alber. Craig says "Twion" sounds like Elmer Fudd talking (think Bugs Bunny). He is trying on or will TWION, the Twion wheels. "You Wasscally Wabbit, you!"
I chose to campout last night in my power tilt wheelchair, planning on some big celebration fireworks, to go to sleep whenever we wanted to. But sadly, the country and our city cancelled them, thanks to you know what! So sad, but find out what ended up happening. I broke my walk into two parts, so here is: Walk And Talk and Sight Seeing Around our neighbourhood!I know this isn't about my creativity, but I want to share it for fun anyway. Sorry for the wobbliness and the times my hand hit the camera mike. Other than that, please try to enjoy Part One of my early morning Walk and Talk Vlog, Sight Seeing our neighbourhood!
