Life

What a shock to look out my window this morning and see of all things a blizzard and a good one too.

Mother’s day Mother’s Day is so special for us all. It’s a special day to remember our mother’s. When ever things got out of hand our mother was always there. No matter where or how tired she was mother was always there. Mother is long gone now but sometimes during the night I wake up thinking about her.

John Keefe has just returned from a holiday trip to Juneau, Alaska where he visited his daughter Ingrid and her husband Tim Fraychineaud. Tim is teaching school there and also teaches swimming and diving. Juneau is a very busy little city plus being the capital of Alaska.

Easter has come and gone, all but the happy memories that are left behind. We had such a wonderful time with family and friends.

When Jesus stepped into the public scene, he did something shocking.

It’s Saturday morning bright and early and I am starting my news a day or so a bit early. What a morning this is 16 of April and we have just had a foot of snow dumped onto us. It’s like the old boy said “You can’t win for losing” and looks like that’s it today

On Sunday afternoon last I had the pleasure to be invited to the First Mennonite Church for a spring-fest in honour of seniors of the community. There were 100 attended and 25 youth served the seniors lunch. Before the lunch was served there was a program of music and singing and also a hymn sing for everyone and also gave a prayer before the meal. It was so nice to see so many young folks taking an active part in the program.

Another week sneaking up on us as it's Wednesday already. No sun yet but it's not snowing either. I feel sorry for the little birds as there is not too much to eat around here yet. I feed them every day and the deer come up onto our veranda and clean out the feeder. I guess they are hungry too.

Our long awaited spring I think has come at long last. The birds think so anyway. Robins are back and so are the Red winged Blackbirds and some Bluebirds
