We got the word!
Our son left to work on a cruise ship in mid-July. He has finished his contract and arrives home on Saturday.
At 11:35 – at night – like, around midnight. Right when all good parents should be in bed.
His flight comes in to Saskatoon. A two hour drive. Best done during the day when you are awake. When the sun is shining. And the temperature is above zero.
Not like tonight. The forecast is calling for -51 windchill. Of course, you have to step outside and get into the wind to get the chill. Around here we call it the “big chill.”
So, since we have missed winter this year, maybe I’ll get up in the middle of the night and experience winter.
NOT!!
Hi there,
Welcome home to Tim & happy travelling to
the big city.
Harold & Mary
Wow! that is a lot of catching up to do — his first trip to your new home…first chance to see his new nephew — and six months of growing up — As parents that is a lot to catch up on but can be oh so enjoyable and the warmth in the heart that your son will be at home (or at least in Saskatchewan — Take time to just renew and enoy each other — it is not easy having an adult child who is used to running his own life — but that is how we get to see the wonderful young man he has become.
Our best wishes to Tim — looking forward to hearing tidbits of his exciting life.
