One More Week...

I've been working like mad getting some projects finished that I never get around to doing when my husband is here, such as putting my hundreds of pictures into photo albums etc. I've only got one week left before Earl gets back from Brazil, and my dinning room table is still covered with piles of pictures. Maybe I am going to have to put them all back into my trunk for a while. Certainly has been quiet around here and I wrote and told Earl that I discovered he makes at least half the work and half the noise in this house, to which he replied, "yeah and you must make the other half!" I didn't go to Brazil this year, because I usually get the flu shortly after I get there. Now, 10 days before my husband comes home he tells me he came down with a bad flu! Normally we never get the flu when we are home. Earl, Luke and I all had a birthday over the last few weeks. Since Earl wasn't here, Pat & I celebrated with Luke … Luke & Pat took me out for dinner, and Pat & I took Luke for dinner too. Wow Luke turned 21. He can now consider himself old, I guess. Haha :p When Earl comes home we'll all celebrate with him then! Lynn & Dwight are coming home for a few months as well, so when they get to Salmon Arm, we'll have one big party again! We've had a really cold Spring, so I couldn't get any work done in my flower garden. In fact today, April 8th, it's snowing outside! We had the warmest Winter in Salmon Arm that I can remember, and now we've got the coldest Spring that I can ever remember! It is just quite unbelievable. On Good Friday, we had a special service at Living Waters in conjunction with Five Corners Pentecostal Church, and the house was packed! There was special music, and a really neat video … It was a very edifying service. Then, on Easter Sunday, we went to the Lepp's house and had a good ham dinner with them and their family. I really appreciate the fact that people remember me, especially when I'm home alone. Unfortunately, Ruth & Royden couldn't come, but the rest of the family was there and we enjoyed their company very much. Little Vincent is growing up and starting to talk! It was also his first birthday so we sang Happy Birthday to him and he was owed by it all. Ed is feeling good and we're just so happy for him, his last scan showed no cancer spots on his lungs or kidneys - Praise the Lord! Let's hope our weather warms up and we can actually get some flowers planted for this Summer. Ruth
