Home Again

Two weeks away from the blog – feels like a snow storm passed by and the roads were impassable.  You enjoy the solitude but you’re ready for your return to the usual.

We enjoyed 10 days at a beautiful cabin in Northern Saskatchewan.   Here’s one of the pictures taken while at  the lake.  I’ve never seen a mushroom quite like this!!

After the lake, we spent a few hours at home (washing clothes and preparing for a trip to Saskatoon).  This past weekend I performed a wedding for a 77 year old we have known for years.  Her groom was 92.  What fun!

At home today I cleaned up a few things and now am resting.  Tomorrow is back to work.  We’re looking forward to a Vacation Bible School beginning next week.  Still a few things to prepare, but life is good.

Holidays here they come

We’re off for a few days.  Lakes and cities combined.  Enjoy your days upcoming – we’ll enjoy ours.  Probably won’t here from me for a week or two.  One of the places we are headed is out of regular communication range.  Hoping to come back tanned and refreshed.

New clothes

Summer holidays has pushed my wife and I to clothe ourselves in new and fashionable ways.  OK, so we will be in a remote and isolated area.  We’ll venture only as far as a canoe or a quick ride to the dump will take us.  And we’ll probably see more bears than people.

But we’ll see each other.  More than usual.  And maybe it is time to update those decades old shorts and swimsuits.

So, off to the consignment store first.  There Tommy Hilfiger clothing are on for cut rates.   And they fit and have already been washed to minimize shrinkage.  Jill gets some capri pants and I fall into some shorts.

Salvation Army thrift store is next.  Again, the costs are low and the benefits high.  A pair of swim trunks and blue jeans.

Finally off to that high priced place called Walmart.  One purchase there is about equivalent to our two previous store receipts.  Nevertheless, we find suitable outerwear and come home happy.

Now, that’s what I call a good day of shopping!!

Selfish request

On Monday I wanted to play ball.  Phoned up a ball player and asked when would be a good day to get together.  Thursday at 7:00 was the answer.  Called a bunch of people.  13 showed up to play.  And others to watch.

What fun!!
