I'm back

Well I am back after a short absence. Basically I've been busy going to work. The other week I actually took time out to spend time with Marie and her family. She recently lost her husband to cancer. We all trekked to the school where we built 3 rather large snowmen. Today Marie informed us that she was Grandma again for the second time. Her son and daughter-in-law had a baby girl today weighing over ten pounds!. On Saturday was my sister-in-law Phyllis's birthday. We were there for most of the day. It was really nice to see my brothers and sister in laws. My oldest brother was sick with a cold so they weren't there. For supper we all went to the Savoy restaurant. Lots of good food. My brother Hank informed us that they have booked an 18 day Panama cruise in the beginning of May. Sounds good to me. Today George, Barb and I drove into Vancouver for Barb's appt. with Dr. Legere. It was nice to have good driving conditions again. Well our beautiful snow is becoming our slush. Our Church has purchased acreage in Matsqui Village. It is actually a nut farm. On Sunday afternoon the men of the Church are going to pray around the property and have a barbecue. I'm a little puzzled as to why the women are not being invloved in this. I've always thought of women to be great prayer warriors. Actually I am not that excited about wandering around on the soggy property and eating barbecued meat in the drizzly rain. Tonight for dessert I made rice pudding. It sure tasted good on this grey looking day. Now that my tummy is full I think I shall indulge in a nice warm bubble bath. I have three days off in a row and plan to do as little as possible. Maybe tomorrow I will take my gift certificates to the shopping mall and treat myself.Keep looking up. You never know when God will surprise you with sunshine.
