I woke up for the first time about 4 am. Lying there in bed listening to Leo, newly diagnosed with sleep apnea, snore. And stop. Yeah, I can see where he stops breathing for 70 seconds at a time. I guess he will get the magic gadget to keep him puffing more regularly. I wonder [...]

On with the kitchen makeover
I am so tired tonight. I guess I am still recovering from my cold and at the same time trying to do too much. And having the house is such disorder from ripping out the kitchen…. well I think it is safe to say we will not do another kitchen renovation in my lifetime. Last [...]

Happy belated Birthday
Sara turned 18 on Monday. This was my ditchen. So we did not have any big celebration here. Instead last night we went to BP’s for supper to celebrate it our proper low key style. Sara is a sweetheart. Unfortunately, I think my gift to her this week may have been this cold.

Recovering
This week I have been recovering from the conference weekend. I knew that I was exhausted at the end of it. Exhausted enough to make me vulnerable to a nasty virus that has made me feel pretty miserable with a cold. In fact as far as I can remember, this is one of the worst [...]

And for the past few days I have been busy with my part in what has been a great Covenant Annual Meeting. My part has been to organize and see that childcare happens. For the most part it has and has gone well thanks to all the volunteers I had help from. Today was long [...]

And our world traveler just came in the door.
Welcome home Sara. The plane was an hour late leaving Edmonton. We will hear tales of the trip tomorrow. And for many days to come.

Another one of those crazy busy days
….leading into an even crazier busier weekend. Leo is off on one of his cross Canada tours. In Ontario right now. That actually frees up some time. My meals get sort of skimpy bordering on fast food. Cause I have lots to do. Today started out with another very difficult procedure that took two hours [...]
