Shannon and Duke come over for tea.

Opps no photo of Shannon, sorry Shannon. Duke is 2 weeks older than Blue and even more playful. We take the dogs over to the fairgrounds/baseball diamond/softball diamonds/chuckwagon grounds.

Duke likes to be chased but Blue is way to fast for Duke. Duke has trouble getting in has licks in outside, but inside Blue cannot use his speed and Duke can use his bulk.

The outside antics are fun to watch. Blue is much faster and can stop and turn on a dime. Poor Duke cannot turn that sharp or run that fast. Both do their fair share of face plants , general tripping up and out of control roles.

Every once in a while they actually slow down.

Blue Enjoys hot fresh laundry

Blue enjoys laundry, especially the part when he can help cool down the laundry fresh out of the dryer.

Off to the fairgrounds for some off leash time.

4 Weddings and No Funeral

Every year in the spring the town of St.Walburg puts on a play. The play is written and performed by locals often sprinkling in some local humour. We managed to get the last tickets available for Sunday Night. Thank you Maurice. This year’s production is called ‘4 Weddings and No Funeral’.

Teri’s brother David loves live small town performances and we are pleased he could come. Brother and sister teasing each other.

Saturday Morning Breakfast.

Breakfast in Saskatoon with Thel before we all left for our homes.

Thel Celebrates 50 Years in Pharmacy.

Back in March 1985 I bought a drug store in St.Walburg, Sask. I bought this store from Thelma. Thelma remained in the community of St.Walburg and continues to work 1 day a week for the store I bought in 1985.

I owned this store until winter of 2008 and it provided for Teri and I very well over the years. Thanks Thel for giving me the opportunity to own my own store.

Today we went to Saskatoon to help Thel celebrate her 50 years as a practicing pharmacist.

Visiting in Calgary

This morning I took Mom out shopping then had lunch at her building. In the afternoon I went to visit my other sister in Calgary, Heather.

Mom in I in her apartment.

My Sister Heather with her son Kent. Kent just happened to arrive while I was there. Great Timing.

Then the long road trip back to St.Walburg.

Road Trip to Calgary to Visit Mom

On the 24th Teri stayed home to watch the grandkids after school for the next few days and I made the road trip to visit Mom in Calgary.

Mom is still doing very well all considered.

Today we went for supper over at my sister Jackie’s home.

This is the painting that Jackie and friends had fun doing. Jackie had breast cancer. Before her operation, Jackie and her friends commissioned a local BC artist to to this painting. The center of each daisy has been painted by a boob of Jackie or one of her friends. The two rocks are the men in Jackie’s life, her husband and her son. The background is a small lake in BC that Jackie and Family go to every summer.
