Our plan was to spend the afternoon visiting Vixdad's parents and then go to dinner at our neices's home. Just as we were leaving the hotel vixdad's sister called to say dad had fallen and the paramedic were on the way. So we rushed thre to find my SIL and BIL ther with the paramedics. Dad was loaded on a gurney and we all set off for the hospital where we ended up visiting in the emergency room... They decided to admit dad for tests. Mum stayed with SIL and BIL and we were sent packing to the nieces as we were told great preparations had been made and the niece was not to be disappointed

We did have a lovely visit. The nieces husband made steaks for us in the special French water cooking method, FJL. Skip will know the right name for it...the meat is sealed in air tight plastic and then held in allow temperature bath for 24 or more hours then finished with a quick sear on the grill. The meat was beautifully tender and perfectly medium rare all the way through. They also had made a Parmesan and artichoke hot dip with pita to dip and some home made cibatta bread with a oil and balsamic dipping sauce cease resale and lovely steamed newpotates

There was home made sakatoonberry pie and ice cream along with coffee for dessert. The beans were ground just before brewing and everything was delicious

They managed all this with a 4 year old a 2 year old and a 8 day old to care for... Little wonder SIL insisted we not call with regrets

Sounds like a great meal, Vixmom.

The word is dad did not break any bones but may be a little weak yet from his recent surgery. He came home rather sooner than the dr would have liked on his own insistence due to our impending visit. So vibes appreciated

We will go to the hospital in the morning to check on DAd and the rest of the day is up in the air now

I had the most wonderful time with the nieces children. We were concerned as to hw they would take to us as the eldest has autism, the 2 year old hasn't seen us since he was a newborn.. But they ere wonderfully welcoming and happy to see us

Watched three of the five The Fall episodes. Very good. Strange in certain ways, but that's not always a negative.
