We were being very mindful of the time trying very hard to get to church on time. First I had a bad stomach and then Dad and an eyelash in his eye that is very painful. I was also getting a headache so was almost thinking we would just stay home. It was late when we left home. Of course we were very thankful to be there. The new baby gave dad a sweet smile.
The strange thing was that two of the men I know from visiting at the Senior’s home where sitting right up front with the family. We knew we knew them but not expecting to see them there it took a while to remember where we knew them from.
After a nap and a small lunch ( I am so thankful for leftovers!) dad and I walked over to see if we could find the birds in the nest, but they were all swimming around. Dad learned the story of the mother duck who had her babies on the back porch of one of the families that live across from the park. Just imagine see these little ones being born one at a time. They carried them across the road when they were bigger. A lovely place to have a short walk.
The sermon was on Matthew 10:40 – 42. Jesus came to give us spiritual life and also to set us free. Free from all injustice and tyranny, this also included the family that was built on everyone being controlled by the father.
What a perfect day I like sitting out frontbut dad prefers to sits in his hideaway or shade deck.
We live in the flow of good intentions and sometimes we fail but mistakes can be forgiven and forgotten.
Life moves on!

So how are you feeling today? Was your headache just a headache?
I did not do much, Mitch and Brittany arrived about 9:30, safe and sound.

I thought they were arriving earlier. Hope you all enjoy their visit.
I hope I can talk dad into visiting Gordon but it depends how he feels. To-morrow he goes to the doctor. Wed. is the Strawberry Tea at church I will sell books as usual.
love mom
You did well to get to church, even if it was a little late! Good to hear that Larry is seeing his doctor tomorrow. Hope he feels better soon.
How wonderful to hear that you are getting back to your normal activities..like selling books at the church tea.
We have a busy week. Carl has cataract surgery on Thursday and then back in to Winnipeg Friday to see the surgeon and get the patch off. Wednesday I have an early appointment for Max and Bella at the groomers. They are too hot with all that fur...especially Bella. She has a tight curly poodle coat. I call her " my fluffy duffer!"
How is your garden doing Beth?
Love to you both,
Nancy
Thanks Nancy, We drove by goggle and saw your gate and parking lot and the road to the beach. Lots of bikes.
These appointments sure keep us busy.
My garden always needs work, right now roses need to be dead headed and it needs watering.
Drive safely.
love beth
Cold wet and windu here. Going to the ear specialist for Matthew today to see if his glue ear has cleared.
Ken
Yes, the gates are closed now and bikes are everywhere.
Drive by 24 Ateah Rd and you will see where we live. It is a lovely spot...on a hill. Not a BC type hill.....but it rises about 30 feet from the bottom of Ateah Rd. We are on the south side of the hill and many wild flowering fruit trees are in our yard. Also junipers, wild roses, and blueberries..both the smaller ones and the darker larger ones that are super sweet.
If I lived close by, I would give you a hand in your garden...I do love to garden.
I hope your appointment went well today, Larry.
Take care, love,
Nancy
