Fall Colors

Grace update

I forgot to announce, almost 2 weeks ago,

that Inez came back from a visit with Grace

with some exciting (and shocking) news....

Grace had a bath, washed her hair AND

got her toe nails cut....this last one

will mean more to those of you who have seen

her toe nails lately!

I was very surprised to hear about

this productive day.  I think she will need

a big rest after all that!

Yesterday Terry & I went to visit her.

(She is always much happier when he joins me)

She visited happily and told us that

Becky had another baby boy.

When we asked her if she had seen Rae lately,

she said she had a visit from Rae,

but that you can't take anything he says seriously!

Before we left, she reminded us to bring her

some more chocolate bars.

Oh ya, Inez also told me that she

L-L-Liked!!!! the birthday card I had brought her.

She liked it!!!  I'm happy.

Harvest Time

Harvest Day for our potato crop

 

We did have a few injured potatoes as we went along!

  Thanks to Jenna & Derek for helping!

 

Time for some relaxing while they dry a bit...

And the crop is in...Jenna is holding

the little piggy head that we found.

Thank You God for making them grow!

Nice day for a fall picnic

 We had a little celebration for Mom and Dad

during the afternoon since we hadn't gotten

together during the summer.

It was a very nice afternoon...

and it was nice that Inez and Elwood were

still here to join us.

We will miss you, Don!

Uncle Don left us on September 12, 2013.

His funeral was held on September 16, 2013.

His story was one of hope, that though

he went through many trials and struggles,

he persevered and overcame.

His funeral service was a message of the

hope we have in Christ.

Please keep his 14 year old son, Zach,

in your prayers!

Happy Birthday, Patricia!

Happy Birthday to a great friend.

I have followed Patricia for many years now.

First, I worked with her at White Cross Drugs 

while in high school, 

then followed her to Shell Canada,

then she got married; I got married

she had a baby girl; I had a baby girl

she worked for the school division; 

I worked for the school division

her daughter went to U of R for her BBA;

my daughter went to U of R for her BBA.

Happy Birthday dear friend.... 

Everyone who gets entangled in my 'photo ops'

is sick of re-takes as my camera consistently

says "blink detected" and I make them pose

for one more shot...Jim is testing the 

theory by closing his eyes!

Wedding Shower

 Charissa's bridesmaids had a bridal shower

for her yesterday in Regina.  Good food, gifts and friends.

Rainy Day Wedding

Even though the ceremony was delayed

due to rain, it was a beautiful day

filled with love and joy.

Congratulations Emmett & Chantel!

The Last "First"

 Today was the Last First....

The last "first day" of school for our family

as Kelsey has now entered Grade 12.

Teen weekend windup at Kenosee

 Sizzling Summer End was a great way

to spend the long weekend before 'reality' set in today!

What a great cleaning staff I had to work with!

 Chicken, ribs, corn on the cob, baked potatoes,
greek salad and garlic toast...yum!

Ethan wants some more!
