Blossoming Lethbridge

This week there are many trees in bloom including our ornamental crab apple tree and our saskatoon bushes. 

We went to the Temple Wednesday and had lunch with Joan. 

Club was at Stirling at the home of Darlene Neilson on Wednesday evening.

Thursday we inspected apartments in South Lethbridge and Stirling.  We also visited Joan for the second day in a row.

Monday we went to Raymond and had family home evening at the Evans home.

Tuesday we went to Taber and attended the band concert that Taylor and Langley were in.  Besides the Meyer Band and the St. Mary's band a group from Calgary called the Polyjesters performed.  My favorite number that they did was La Vie en rose.  The band played well but I didn't like all the pieces they played. The last number by the mass band was my favorite. 

Wednesday we went to Cardston to the Temple.

Thursday we visited West Lethbridge and North Lethbridge and did apartment inspections.

We were thinking of going to Brooks on Friday, but stayed home instead.

Saturday Sue-anne and Courtney dropped in on their way home from Edmonton.  Courtney is home for the summer and starts her summer job on Monday.

A Taber Twilight

Coming out of the band concert on Tuesday evening I took a picture of the sky.  It made me think that where we were in China a few years ago there was no twilight.  It went from light to dark very quickly

Improved Yard

On the 10th we decided to go out to celebrate Bob's birthday since the day before had been a tiring day.  He wanted to go to Two Guys Pizza, but it was crowded and while we waited someone opened a can of beer and it squirted on Bob so we went home.  After Bob changed his clothes we went to Mocha Cabana and had a leisurely supper.  It was noisy, but the food was good.

Saturday and Sunday was stake conference.  They released our stake president as he has been called as an area seventy and put our bishop in as stake president.  For the time being he is both bishop and stake president.

It has been a quieter week.  I did visiting teaching on Thursday and also a ward RS meeting.  Sue-anne drpped in on Friday evening.  Today was a stake RS activity.

Our yard is looking good..  The apple tree was trimmed, the grass mowed and the autumn cleanup done on the flower beds.  Our tulips are in bloom.

Bob's Birthday or Transfer Day

Transfer day happened on Bob's birthday.  The mission closed up five apartments in our area, so Bob was busy all week emptying apartments and hauling things to the storage at the airport.

Thursday, Bob's birthday,  was the worst day.  He left at eight a.m. and went to the west side for a load.  He brought the truck back full and changed clothes and we went to the transfer meeting.  In the afternoon he took the load out to the storage shed and unloaded.  In the evening it was back to the west side for another load.  He is out at the shed unloading it now and will return the truck.

By the way, does anyone want a pool table with a broken leg?  How about an old TV or a couch with a broken leg or even a bookcase?  Why on earth would missionaries have a pool table in their apartment or a TV? (They claim the TV doesn't work.)

The next task is to contact the landlords and arrange to walk through the apartments and return the keys..

Easter Weekend

Tara and the boys left about one p.m. on Saturday.  Shortly after Sue-anne, Carter, Jeremy and Jackson arrived for a visit.

Sunday Jeremy, Julie, Jackson, and Mickey came for breakfast and to watch conference with us.  They left about one p.m. and we were alone again with our Easter cake and chocolates.

Yummy Yummy

My car had some hoses replaced this past week.  There were some warm days and a lot of wind. It is cooler now, but well above freezing.

On Thursday we went to Coaldale and Taber inspecting apartments.  We had dinner at the Mosers.  When we got home Tara, Lochlan and Matt arrived to visit.

Tara has been busy.

It May be Spring

We drove back from Canmore on Wednesday stopping in Calgary to run an errand.  We were home by 2:00 p.m.  Becky and I were in charge of club last evening so I spent the day working on the supper.

Today is supposed to be 20 degrees Celsius.

Here are some of Bob's photos taken in Canmore.
