week 9


The weather is beautiful and the sun is shining. We're not missing any of that Alberta wind. The boys are doing well. Sterling had a classmate here yesterday until 8pm working on a project and I think Kaedo is still recovering from his weekend. Back on schedule this week which includes a return to soccer. He is looking forward to that. The weather is still nice enough to be biking so we'll see if Sterling gets his tire pumped up and gets out there. Craig is playing in the "toilet bowl" for the crummy teams in football, on Saturday and I'm doing another craft event. I am furiously crocheting trying to get enough done for the weekend. All my custom orders from the show are complete and sent or delivered, so now it is actual product to sell that needs to be completed. Wish me luck. My hips hurt from sitting so much!

Ketchup will love three walks a day and that will really help your hips. I speak from experience as mine get sore from sitting. Our new mattress has been wonderful though, no soreness anywhere in the morning and my hips used to really hurt until I got walking around.

Glad you got all your custom orders done, and ahead of schedule. Hopefully the rest of the week won't be such a huge rush. Hope you get lots of business on Saturday. I would think that would be a hard one to judge as you have no idea how many people may come to the store. At least the craft show had previous years to compare with. Good Luck!

Did some more Christmas shopping today and birthday shopping for our favorite son-in-law. I can say that now without hurting anyone's feelings. I was finished Christmas shopping last week but I started again. It is fun when you're not under the gun.

Great visit with mom yesterday. Took her by handibus to the Dr. and we ate lunch in the foyer as it was too windy for her to go outside but we couldn't eat in the reception area. She thought it was a great time.

Two semis, one RV trailer and one cargo trailer tipped over between Calgary and Lethbridge...and that's just the ones that hadn't been removed yet. Talk about wind! Today has been frightful also, had to pull in a slide as I was afraid it's awning would rip off.

Meeting friends for Happy Hour tomorrow at Bullys. Love it there and so does Ros as the slots are her favorite thing to do. Neither Denis nor Pete like to play so they just have a good old natter.

Missing our friends that have gone south but not their comments on the weather. Found out today that our friends in Shaunavon have sold their place and will begin full time RVing on Dec 23rd. Their awesome 5th wheel even has a fireplace.

Hope everyone is having this wonderful mild weather, 15C here today but hope you don`t have the wind to go with it.

Love to all

Great photo once again of the growing boys! Nice chatting with you today Shannon - hope the rest of your day went well. We went to visit mom and were thinking of taking her out but when we arrived there, she wasn't in the best of moods so thought we'd wait for another time. Had a nice visit with her in her room. Stan, Robert, Hank & Uncle Ike came to Herbert Manor as well this afternoon to visit Stan's Uncle Dave (Ike's brother) so the highway was busy with people from S.C.! We too have wind Irene but doesn't sound as strong as yours. The weather is beautiful and lots of snow is melting quickly. The weekend is supposed to be very nice and maybe all the white stuff will be gone.

Hope your craft event goes well for you Shannon and Craig - be careful with your big football game. Just talked to your brother tonight and he's hurting from a hockey injury Monday night.

BIG HUGS TO ALL!
