Today they started the search.

My wife and her sister were reminiscing about their youth.  A list was soon forthcoming.  As the names emerged, the wondering began.

Soon they were on the internet.  One name was a mutual friend whom they had not seen for a decade or two.  The name popped up in an old database on phone numbers.  She no longer lived in that area. 

But, others of the same last name were there.  They could be relatives.

A phone call was placed.  This was a nephew.  He took down our phone number and contacted his aunt (privacy is a good policy).  Within minutes the friend phoned back.  More than a half hour later they had exchanged life stories and made each others day!!

Now, that’s a fun and good use of time and resources!!

Have you been following Barach Obama?  His speeches are more like sermons.  Well crafted and with seeming rhyme and rhythm.  There is even a "song(s)" based on one of his speeches called "Yes, we can".  If you go to YouTube you’ll find it there in various places — here is one link.

Which goes to prove — if you can speak, you can make music! 

The latest story. 

We have a native lady who has moved to Kindersley.  Supposedly a government office was involved in finding a place for her.  The idea was to provide a new start — away from other relatives and natives.  Where do you find a place in Saskatchewan where there are no natives?  Let’s try Kindersley.

Or so the story goes!!

Saw the surgeon today.  Looked over the xrays of my knees.  Things are in good shape.

A few more months and the swelling should all be down and things going smoothly.  Right now I can walk well with a bit of pain. 

Overall, the appointment was positive.  I’ll get back to driving, work back into work and generally head on down the road!!

Thanks again to all of you who continue to pray and care for us during this time.
