Minus Thirty

Well we have had some thirty below weather, and although it has been some warmer yesterday and today it is supposed to go back down for the week-end.  It has also snowed a few times - nothing major.  Bob has done the shoveling this past week, so he is back to normal.   March will come in like a lion, so hopefully it will improve after that.

We had two welcome unexpected visits last week - Courtney and Devin came on Monday and Wendy and children came on Thursday.  We certainly enjoyed their visits.

My visiting teachers also came last week and home teachers came this week.

We went to Raymond a week ago Monday and had Family Home Evening at Evans.

I did visiting teaching this week and Bob did home teaching.  We also had our Thursday evening institute class - only two people showed up.  Maybe more will come this week?

Last night I went to Lorraine Boehme's for club and we had an enjoyable evening.

Two More Weeks Gone By

The week of February 2nd to 8th was rather ordinary until Thursday February 6th when the olympics started.  I managed to watch some skating in between watching sessions of Roots Tech that week-end.

We were happy on Wednesday when the temperature rose to above freezing.  There had been a lot of cold weather up until then.  A lot  of our snow disappeared.

This week I watched skating until Thursday at noon when Tara and four of the boys arrived. (Nathan and Liam were at winter deacons camp.)  It was great to have them here.  Sue-anne came in to visit on Thursday afternoon. They had a very short stay and left after lunch on Friday.

Friday evening we went to Coaldale to watch Taylor play basketball.  The Taber team won easily.

Today is back to normal.  Seems very quiet.

February and Snow

Last week-end we watched Langley play three basketball games at the Chinook High School.  In between we attended Fontella Boehme's funeral. 

On Monday I went to Moxie's for lunch with the club ladies.

Bob has been getting out more.  We went to the Temple on Wednesday.  The roads were dry until we turned off the highway into Cardston.  It was snowing and snowed more the closer we got to the Temple.  It snowed all the way home.  I had to shovel the walks again on Thursday.

Friday we went to the West Stake Centre for supper and to watch the J. Reuben Clark broadcast.  Bruce C. Hafen was the speaker and he did a great job.  He spoke about the balance between individual rights and society's needs and put the emphasis on marriage.

Today we went to Magrath to see Erica in the Vertigo Drum Corp.

No Snow for Over a Week

We have been enjoying very nice weather (except for some wind sometimes); it is great to drive on bare pavement.

We did our Thursday night class last Thursday, church on Sunday and Family Home Evening last night.Bob has been getting out more - doing a little shopping, home teaching & missionary meeting.

Joan dropped in on Thursday.

It has been very quiet around our house.

January Update

Bob is improving.  A week ago he went out for the first time since Christmas.  He went to church but was too uncomfortable to stay for Sunday School.  On Wednesday he drove downtown and came back quite sore, but he was driving again Friday and Saturday.  He had to go to the "Show and Shine".  Today he stayed for all of church.

My sister, Joan, came in for a visit on Wednesday.  

I went to Brooks with Sue-anne on Friday and watched Taylor's basketball game.  My brother, Donald,  came to the game so we could have a visit.

The snow was just about gone by Saturday and the streets were getting down to the pavement.  This morning we woke up to more snow and I had to shovel again today.

Otherwise it has been a very quiet couple of weeks.

Boxing Day

Edward, Jacqueline and family came for lunch on boxing day.  They went out to Taber in the afternoon and returned in the evening.  After super we did our Christmas puzzle.

 Today they all left to go to visit Jacqueline's family in Mountain View.
