the newlyweds...

are getting along just fine; I can't wait to see their place. The Allen's got some lovely gifts and they have been busy nesting and momma just has to see their place! ;)
Mr Allen is back to school in his final year and Mrs Allen went back to work in the oncology dept at SJRH.

Anne, from Green Gables?




We did a bit of site seeing, after the wedding before dropping Kash off in M'ton. We had a great time then to M'ton and took the girl to Ponderosa for supper. She starts classes tomorrow; orientation day today (and she's texted me dozens of times). She had to go to the bank to let them know, she's a big girl now and needs to increase her limit allowable for withdrawls.
:s

May I introduce to you...

Ativan will be a friend for the hour...

After 2 unsuccessful ERCP's here in F'ton and 1 more unsuccessful one in M'ton, I will finally have an MRCP tomorrow in F'ton at 1 pm. I'll have a little sedative to keep me calm; I'm a bit skiddish about closed in spaces so I'll appreciate your prayer.
It was a while hearing from anyone; there seems to be too many Dr's on my case. Since leaving the Maritimes, I've had two new doctors and then there is the specialist in F'ton and then a specialist in M'ton, the surgeon in Halifax, etc...
I had to do a little calling around but things are going to get looked into. I'm praising God for the health care system in Canada!

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

"O Canada! Our home and native land!

True patriot love in all thy sons command.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise,

The True North, strong and free!

From far and wide, O Canada,

We stand on guard for thee.

God keep our land glorious and free!

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee."


Praising God for my citizenship in this glorious land...

♥ HaPpY FaThEr'S DaY, DaD ♥

Thank you, Lord for a Dad who cares for all our needs...
He's a new Dad here but he knows just what it takes to be a great provider

Here, Dad looks on as Kasha finds her birthstone ring he picked out

and here, Dad gets to reap the benefits of his faithfulness in attendence at church services and in taking Kasha to music lessons (even when it hurt in more ways than one)

Relaxing at a camp ground in Moose Jaw, SK ~ we all had such a great time, didn't we?

And last year Dad (with the help of his heavenly Father) found us a house to call our own...

Thank you, Lord ~ he's just perfect for us; You knew just what You were doing!

My Kasha is Graduating...







These are some of a few of Kasha's grad pics; I always promised her a poofy dress but in light of Lance and Melissa's wedding, it was looking pretty gloomy. But Laura W (now married) sold Kash her dress for $100. We're sure this dress was about $400-500 ~ what a blessing to get it for such a deal... we are praising God for Laura! ;)

New eavestrough too...


What can I say?
God has blessed us again and we are thankful!

My husband has been VERY busy...

We went from all this to...
to this...
And finally ~ our gorgeous walkway!

I don't think we'll see as much gray dirt in the house...

Thank you, Lord for a hard working husband, the money for the supplies, the great weather, etc...

Lord, you are too good to us! ♥

I had to beg him to buy this...

Cliff's new (second hand) toy; we got a really good deal. I had to beg him to buy this. He has wanted one forever and we've never been able to afford it. Okay, so we can't afford a new on, but a new to us one! ;)
we'll try to remember to take some pics!
He just doesn't seem to be able to stay away from it but I'm just as excited for him as he is! God is good!

Maisy is petrified of the bike and Cliffton is trying to sooth her; she has herself all worked up into a tizzy!

Flowers...

My mother's day gift from Lance; so pretty!


my card hung with he and Melissa's invitation; I keep it there to remeind me to pray for them, daily...

And I got this single rose from my mother in law for nurses week; isn't she sweet! ♥

Remember my walkway?


Well, nothing ever came of it 'cause we couldn't make up our minds. So, here is the walkway on it's way to getting done...

A gift...


For momma from her boy (who has been a man for a long time ~ but always be my boy)! ♥ Though, this is a sign he's really ready for married life ~ keep up the good work, Son!

Happy 18th B'day, Kasha...

Why do our kids have to grow up?

I really don't want them to miss out on the great things God has in store for them as adults but I feel lonesome just thinking about the both of them gone...

Am I too selfish wanting them to stay small and needy?
Thank you, Lord, for the use of your children ~ You have used them to teach me many lessons, You used one to bless our home with the gospel and it's never been the same since. If they should get too independent, instead of calling home, I pray they learn to call on You ~ and Lord, I'm gonna need your help too! Help me to get busy serving You more so I'm not lonesome ~ for your name's sake, Amen!

Lance & Melissa...


I had the best b'day gift ever this year. On Valentine's Day I turned 46 but for the entire year, I told people I was turning 47. Imagine my surprise when I did the math at work and figured out I was only 46 ~ it felt like I had my clock turned back!
And then, I was leaving work ~ walking down the stairs, I got a text message from my son, Lance. He sent me a picture of a hand with a lovely diamond on it. Yes, he'd asked Melissa to marry him and she accepted.
I got a year and a daughter in law for my b'day! ;)

Day 3 of Cliffton's 4 days off...

this is how our day has been going...
here is our water supply the last few days...


for flushing

This is a Christmas gift for which I'm truly thankful for along with electricity, of course...

yep, a new submersible pump with a price tag of $500

My happy husband ~ okay so he's not thrilled, but he is thankful for Frank, an older electrician neighbor who has been helping for 2 days...

And finally, the CULPRIT/CULPRET...
(not sure of it's male or female) and that determines the spelling, I guess!
It's an old submersible pump that fell down the well and couldn't be retrieved so the well drillers drilled on down thru to submerge a pump that could be accessible. Up til now, this was just a story we heard ~ now, there is truth to it...
Cliffton pulled it up with every once of strength in him and even Frank was surprised at his strength ~ I'm not, I see it all the time ~blush~
So, now the $500 purchase was taken back to Home Hardware and the $ is back in the bank account!
~woohoo~
We're running water again!
And thankful for God's provision of strength, praying friends and answered prayer! ♥
