Our grandson, a healthy and active toddler, is three years old today.  I think he has finally figured out the “two years old” answer to “How old are you?”, but may not be ready to move on to the three year old stage.

My parent’s hit their 57th anniversary yesterday.  Mere days ago they were starting their 25th as we began our married life.  And in 1951 the future was bright as Dad stepped out of the harvest fields to marry the love of his life, Mary Gladys Virginia Merritt.  The love of his life is still his companion — and through the changes of life they hang in together!  What a great heritage and example!

Well, this is the look back in place.  There were a few minor changes my host server had to change.  The email he sent to me is very explanatory but the basics come down to a few clicks of buttons and knowing which buttons they should be.

So, I’ll get back to journalling life around here.  Just to let you know, we spent the latter part of Sunday and most of Monday in Saskatoon on time off.  Came back to view a very interesting movie sponsored by our local arts council.  The name of the movie?  “The Visitor”.  Certainly showed  the conundrum of the immigration system — and because we are dealing with an immigration situation in our congregation this was particularly applicable.

God bless in your day today!!

So, the website/blog has been down on my XP machine.  My wife’s machine has Vista and we are up and running.  Must just be some glitch along the way!!

Thanks  to those of you who read this blog regularly. 

Yesterday something happened at my hosting site.  You accessed the site and saw a root directory and no blog.  You phoned me.  I contacted my site host.  He pushed a few buttons, and, “voila”, I’m back!

Imagine 100 years ago!  You wouldn’t have been able to phone me.  You might have sent a telegram.  Or walked over.  Or ridden a horse.  Or perhaps gotten in one of those new fangled vehicles called cars.

And when you delivered your message, I would have said — “You’ve go to be kidding!  The internet – what’s that?  A blog — are you stuttering?  A root directory — we’ve only got a root cellar!”
