We’ve been busy getting ourselves mobile again, as it was we were storing the kids vehicle while they are in Mozambique, so we were okay. Earl decided to ‘buy back’ the van from ICBC, fix it up, and hopefully make a bit of extra cash. He visits all the pick-a-part places he can and has already found a fender, a hood and a mirror. Then he’ll have to give it a new paint job, it’s a two tone right now.
Winter came upon us so suddenly and caught us off guard. My plants are all wilted, and some of my homegrown tomatoes froze as well. I did manage to preserve most of them though, and I made lots of jam, overkill for sure, because we can never manage to eat it all before the next season rolls around. I will try to pawn some off on our grandchildren or whoever will take it!
We went to Edmonton for our FCA conference, we decided to leave five days early and visit Living Faith Bible School in Caroline, and share with the student body there. From there we went to visit the Hardisty Messianic congregation, then on to Westrose church for Sunday morning and finally on to the conference at Richfield. We saw a lot of our friends at Conference and the speakers were wonderful, we always enjoy our conferences so much. We came home just long enough to wash clothes, do some winterizing of our yard, and repack to go to Ft. McMurray for their annual missions conference. We decided to fly to Edmonton and hitch a ride with a friend. It just doesn’t make sense to drive for four day and stay only three! We’re getting too old for that! This time I’m taking a heavier winter coat. It seems like winter has hit all the western provinces at the same time.
We also managed to have a quick visit with our grandkids, Russell & Amanda! :)
