Well I can't believe a month has slipped by since I last posted on here!
Life has been as busy as ever with gardening (check out those veggies from our garden), camp meeting, sight seeing, shopping, hospital visits and working.
Last week we said good bye to Justin (which was very sad) as he headed back to New Zealand. Mom and Dad were meant to go then too, but decided to stay another couple of weeks - which has been nice.
My nephew Mitchel had a motor bike accident last week, on his way to see Justin off at the airport. A car pulled out in front of him and he hit it at speed! Needless to say he never made it to the airport - instead he wound up in hospital! After waiting 5 days he finally had surgery to replace his elbow and pin his wrist back together. It hasn't been a very pleasant experience for him at all. He is one lucky cookie though - it could have been so much worse. i think he may get out of hospital today.
We visited Mitchel in hospital while he waited 5 days for his surgery. Went and lay out on the lawn.
YUMMY CHERRIES!!
These cherry trees are here on campus - they are amazing. I LOVE cherries. It has been wonderful being able to go and eat your fill every evening - fresh off the trees.
Mom and Dad enjoyed filling their bag (and their tummies) with cherries.
Tamzin using the 'cherry pitter' to remove the pits. What a mess that thing makes!
This sight seeing is hard work............
A Sabbath afternoon walk in the park - in the rain, with Connie, Mitchel, Aaron, Alissa, Ellen
The "Cuzzies" - Mitchel, Justin, Tamzin, Kyle & Aaron
This raccoon was funny - he went round all the rubbish cans looking for tasty treats!
Justin with the 'poles' at Stanly Park in Vancouver
Two weeks ago it was our 1 year anniversary for moving to Canada (hasn't that gone by fast!). The Halls had a celebration dinner for us on Friday evening. It was great. The youngin's serenaded us as we opened sabbath in the great outdoors.
This suspension bridge is about 20 minutes up the road from us.
Jordan dreaming his life away by the river - I wonder what he was dreaming about!
This coming Monday the kids and I are off down to California for ASI - they will be playing in the orchestra. It will be broadcast live on 3ABN. They will be backing Jennifer LaMountain and doing songs of their own. If you have 3ABN check it out. It is going to be a busy trip and we will be away a week. Alistair and Missey will hold the fort down at home (and take Mom and Dad to the airport)
Until next time.....................
