SUMMERTIME


A beautiful warm summer day that as I went for an early walk I was reminded that i was walking with Jesus and that is who gives me strength which is enriched by the love of family and the good times at church and at our groups.

The church hall looked so inviting as it was being set up for the spring strawberry tea. It takes a group of many willing hands to make this a happy day for all who come and help and for those who come and enjoy good food. Strawberries are in season for such a short time and each year can taste a little different. The ones we had where sweet and delicious.

Yesterday was a relaxing day with Carol and Panteli. We drove to New Westminster to pick up the gluten-free bread and then delivered it and had a quick drive by of our old house. Sad to see.

Carol spruced up the garden which I know has gotten very over-grown and wild and crazy. Something like life that you figure and plan but then things just happen. My song is "One Day at a Time Sweet Jesus". The simple songs that we use to sing have great meaning for me and although there are great hymns with powerful and words with deep meaning it is the simple songs that come back to me.

God had fun at our home group meeting where we laughed and told jokes and enjoyed being together. I was blessed by the prayers that where prayed for me and through all the time together there was a spirit of grace and thankfulness. We had Fun!

I phoned you early yesterday, cant remember why. Randy is home today and there is a bag hanging at the front door for you and dad. Oh, and Carol forgot a computer bag and a book. Are you going out on Saturday or this weekend at all to Chilliwack?

Yes, we may drive out Friday, to-morrow, to give Ben a card and to go open a bank account with him.
Depending on how we feel. Dad is taking on a big job with the pond in the front yard and I think it is too much.

So it would be a good break for him.

We are not going for Ben's party on Sat. It will be lots of noise and fun for all his friends. Too much for us and too much for Theresa but good she will have her mom there to help.

love mom
