No Snow this Week!

We have had strong wind and huge clouds of dust dust blowing from the west.  Today the wind has died down but it is rather dreary looking outside.

Last week we did some visiting teaching and home teaching.  I attended our ward Relief Society meeting on Thursday evening and learned a bit about gardening.  Friday we went off to Calgary to keep Mickey company (and drive her to her swimming practices) while Julie, Jackson and Jeremy were in Texas water skiing.  Unfortunately the furnace gave out while we were there and it was cold.  Fortunately we were able to arrange for a repair man to get it fixed by Saturday evening.  We had supper with Tara and the boys on Saturday (Nathan was in Washington, DC).  Sunday we had  dinner with Edward's family and then drove home.  It had been snowing Saturday and Sunday.

This week I had my club ladies at our house on Thursday evening.  Friday morning we attended Peg Young's funeral.  We had known her since we first moved to Lethbridge in 1968.  We saw many people that we hadn't seen for a long time.   That evening  Nathan and boys came and spent the night and Saturday with us while Tara worked on making chocolates for a fund raising project for the boys' pipe band.  Langley was playing in a basketball tournament here in Lethbridge on Friday and Saturday.  We managed to watch two of her games.  Jeremy and family were here for a bit on Saturday.  They brought Kennedy's furniture to leave while she is home in Calgary for the summer. 

The weeks just keep passing on.  We have now been back in Lethbridge for six months.

Still Spring - Still Snow

On Saturday evening it began to snow and it was still snowing Monday evening.  There still is snow covering the ground because it is too cold for it to melt.

Last week we enjoyed having Jacqueline, Lincoln  and Miranda for a bit on Monday and Sue-anne dropped in on Thursday.  We went out to lunch on Tuesday for Bob's birthday.  Saturday we went to Cardston to the Temple.  On the way back we went through blowing snow, freezing rain and at one point there was several inches of slush on the road.  We were happy to get home.

On Monday evening we had our family home evening group at our house and enjoyed the evening.

There have been too many pictures with snow so no pictures this time.

Just Because it's Spring

Just because it's spring my tulips are up:

We have had a very mild winter with only two or three dumps of snow and one period of very cold weather around Christmas time.  However, ever since the first of March we have had snow and mostly cold weather.  We did get a week of good weather the first of April and thought spring was on the way but that was only an April fool trick.

We had a very happy Easter.  Jeremy, Julie and their children came on Good Friday and stayed the week-end (although we had to share them with Julie's family).  Sue-anne, Darryl and family came on the Saturday.  Jacqueline, Miranda and Lincoln stayed overnight on Thursday on their way to Salt Lake.

Today all the Easter holidays and spring breaks are over and the children go back to school.  We  continue on with our less hectic life.
