Spring has arrived with a big burst of greenery.The trees are proudly dis[playing not only the
magnificence flowers that delight the soul and mind. Our back yard is full of cherry blossoms as well as camillias.
Sunday has arrived with it's promise of blessings.
Church depends on the arrival of Rick on his way back to Kamloops after a family visit and a conference in Town. Too bad there was no room at the Sylvia but others have been greeted with no room also.
Yesterday was busy and a happy. Had some neighborly visits with our friends. Now grass cutting is in full swing and also car washing. The funny thing the fellow with the newest cleanest car is polishing and shining to his heart's delight.
Our departure to Ben's soccer game was late because we had not heard the message on the answering machine. Dad and I were so pleased to get a handicapped parking right between to fields. We heard Ben's voice coaching the team on and were delighted with being so close. The goalie was good and he looked like Ben but as they came off the field for half-time we realized it was not our favorite goalie after all. I left day his feet to sore to walk and took off to check fields. I am thinking if something appears too good it is probably not as good as you would like. Came back to look at the field higher above the one where we were and sure enough it was the voice of Ben all along and so chose to walk up the little hill but we were not with the other parents and grandparents.
We were especially proud of Ben when an opposing player was hurt he went over to see if he was okay!
This is Ben in action saving a potential goal. The score was 2 -l for Ben's team.
I went over to have a visit with Theresa and Morgan who was doing the hula-hoop.
She is so loving she ran around to the far side to give Grandpa a hug.
I had time for a short nap before dad and I drove to Carol and Panteli's for supper.
Excellent!
Sandra will be departing for home and I know how sad that can be although she is also happy to be with Randy too.

How nice of you and Larry to go to Ben's soccer games. It is the encouragement that he gets from family that is so important isn't it? Combine that with all the talent that this fella has and it is a win win situation! GOOOO BEN! It is good to see the compassion he has too, when an opposing player is injured.
Today is a sports day in our house and I must get my butt in gear and make supper. Our son is coming...Mark. We are having chicken breasts baked, with wild rice and veggies. There has been 2 curling games...the men's worlds games. Now the season opening game of the Blue Jays and the Winnipeg Jets play hockey tonight.
It is very cold and I think the two blackbirds with the golden eyes have perished. They arrived here three days ago and today were no where to be seen. The overnight lows have been -18 here. Too cold for the migrant birds...they arrived too early. Usually they are male birds wanting to start their territory before the ladies arrive.
Have a lovely Sunday,
Love, Nancy
