Cleaning up and finding

After a church retirement farewell for a priest friend I went looking for some reminiscences of him. I did not find them but I found some other stuff that I had forgotten about.

I finally threw away my HTML and web pages books. Now it is so simple to use a blog or other templates for web pages.

I also threw away some old house maintenance manuals and files. I have what I need and it is all organized.

What I did find was some old diaries. I knew I had certain ones from when I was at school and university. I also found one that I wrote and did not remember having about my first months in Ottawa in 1974. It makes for very interesting reading.

What was important to me then and much still continues to be - except for work which is done.

How I fitted in with people in church communities and who mattered to me. A friend who was a good support got mentioned often. Other people in Ottawa and in Toronto whom I were missing a lot got mentioned often. This is what was happening for me then.

Just yesterday I received in my email a newsletter from the church I attended there. It has been many years since I have been in that part of Toronto.

I was concerned about horse activities and having Charisma here in Ottawa. She was in foal in 1974 and I did not bring her here until the year after. She then spent 20 years at Greenbelt Riding School.
