DOGGY DAY

Children are a gift that reminds us of the wonder and joy of life!

I had barely caught my breath from my early morning walk when in came my friend with her two very excitable dogs.  The time went by very quickly as I caught up on her news.

Theresa had phoned to say they were going to come for a visit which was delightful news.  Later she and the children would be visiting Mickie's dad who is having health problems.  He will be in my prayers.

I phoned Sandra and she came over with her two dogs who immediately found the whole in the fence and had gone exploring in the neighbor's back yard.  We really do need to get that fence fixed.  It is a joint project with our neighbor.  I was very please to hear Sandra had gone to the doctor about her painful hips, shoulders etc.  He is sending her to a specialist.  I am so very fortunate not to be in any pain.
Ben and Morgan enjoy coming here and is was extra exciting when the Ice Cream man came.  They play happily building a dam for our pond, playing with Lego, Morgan explores her little hide away and put the magic light in there.  The neighbor's children came home and they had a visit over there play soccer.
It was good to have a visit with Theresa and talk a little about the plans for the visits of Kim and Tyler and the trip to Edmonton. 

Tyler will visit around so that it will not be too tiring for anyone.  Camping is a good idea. 

Melina and Ken had a much needed and hopefully restful week-end away.  Looking after a 1 and a 3 year old can be exhausting both day and night. 

Rick is moving into Kamloops after living on a beautiful spot on the lake.  Having a long drive back and forth to work can be very tiring.

I hope to plant my new flowers called Bea Bombs with dad's help today.  My shoulder is much better.
And no Randy I was not up moving furniture! !  lol

I managed to stay up to 9:30 after doing the watering.  I was extremely exhausted, but happy as a clam, but missing my little power naps. 

I am so thankful for my loving family and that we can have fun visits together and I do not need to fuss over them.  Theresa is so good having the children clean up after themselves.  Ben is so helpful and reminds me of Rick who helped me a lot when the others were little.  Theresa also helps with the dishes and I do appreciate all she does when she comes to visit.

We are looking forward so very much to seeing family here and in Edmonton.  The wedding will be a wonderful time just being together.  We wish Shandel and Cameron continued happiness as they deepen their commitment to each other.

Life is not easy and having some one to share your worries and your joys with makes life worth living.
