Hi Lori, it’s so wonderful to hear from you sweetheart! Yes I did get your PM, but I’m backed up with messages, because my boys have been off school for March break, so I’m catching up as fast as I can! Okay, what you need to do to know when it’s on in your area, is to check the listings on your PBS station. Now, here’s the link to find which is your PBS station and then go from there.

You see, in my area, I have 2 PBS stations: one in Vermont and one in NY. I’ve “seen” the show 3 times already! The “Hitman returns” program will be aired at various times throughout the month, but if you miss it, you can buy it on CD/DVD in the store. It’s been out since last Tuesday. You see, today, Michael was taping those “in  between” segments during pledge breaks. It’s not a separate program, it’s just segments to be inserted during the show. If you look for it in the store,, it’s called “Hitman returns, David Foster & friends” and it’s sold in a CD case. I hope that helps sweetheart. I’ll write to you soon Lori, hope that helps for now. Take care. Big hugs, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada

Hi Lori, how are you? I’m pretty good, saw both my daughters over the weekend. Oh I’m glad you like Scotty, I thought you would. I agree about the talent on AI this year: it’s gonna be a tough race. I have to say I loved Simon because he had mellowed over the years but don’t really miss him. Steven Tyler makes things interesting. He’s in Aerosmith, by the way. Last week’s AI show on Thursday with Stevie Wonder was so amazing! I’m really glad to hear your ankle and foot are doing better! Oh girl, I know what it’s like to try and be independent! Sorry you couldn’t go to church, but it’s cool that you can listen on-line. I hope for you that you can go for walks soon Lori. The thing is that we had a taste of spring and then it was taken away. When I went to my daughter’s yesterday, it was bitterly cold, -16 with wind chill factor. Well, lucky you only gained 3 lbs Lori! Lol Did you have to take a wine break because of your meds?  Well, I understand it’s not easy taking a break from things you love. No harm in venting a little. My son’s new room is coming along: the painting’s almost done and I have to work on making curtains, slowly but surely. I’ve been studying “Les misérables” for the past couple of weeks, both the book and the musical and quite enjoyed it. Well, nice talking to you too Lori, have a great week! Take care. Big hugs to you and woofs to sir Chancelot, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada

Hi Lori, in response to your message, I commend you for choosing to cut out something you love.  I should cut out junk from my diet, although I am quite reasonable with it and exercize more lately. Oh, so your parents are French?  I can’t remember the last time I’ve had a drink: the strongest stuff I have is coffee! :D Oh, I thought because of your leg, you might have been on some medication. How is it this week? Better, I hope. Is the weather and winds still horrendous or is it starting to feel like spring finally? Oh wow, I didn’t know you could have your lashes and brows darkened… Dare I ask how the new hairdresser worked out? :D I must say I’m not adventurous with my hair and don’t even care that I have some silver in it now: what you see is what you get. I never want to worry about roots: to me, it’s a waste of time and money.  My hairdresser knows me and I’m out of there within 15 minutes. My eldest son’s new room is coming along nicely: we just need to clean the carpet and he should move in next week. He’ll be glad when all the work is over with! Lol Hey, another day, another challenge and as long as we’re alive,  we trek ahead: a little music for the soul and staying in touch with friends for the heart and we’ll be just fine! Take good care of yourself Lori and sir Chancelot. Big hugs, sincerely, your friend Sylvie from Qc

Hi Lori, I’m glad you enjoyed “A song for mama”, it makes me cry no matter what. Sorry to hear you’ve lost your mom too. From what I understand, Michael will be singing with Delta Goodrem, an Australian singer on DWTS. Their duet on “Gems” is called “I’m not ready” and maybe that’s what they’ll be singing, we don’t know yet. Oh I’m so glad you’ve finally been able to go out! I did go on a walk with my eldest son yesterday, but we’ve had a horrid couple of weeks weather-wise here. At least, it finally made my tulips open: I have huge yellow ones and pink ones too! It’s too bad they don’t last very long… I hope the pain in your legs is getting better. At least, I think going out should pick you up and feel more energized to exercize. I’ve heard that we might get a special version of “Gems in Canada, so I’ll be keeping an eye on Amazon and keep you posted on the news. Take good care of yourself Lori and I’ll look forward to hear from you. Big hugs to you and woofs to sir Chancelot, sincerely, Sylvie in Qc xxx
