I suppose I should date these inserts so today is Saturday 10 of March 2012 Oh it was so nice to have a visit with Ken's sister and her husband, on Thursday. They are truck drivers from Manitoba and finally got a trip to Vancouver. They were here Thursday late morning and stayed the night. We thought it would be okay to leave the truck on the street but while he was cleaning it was told he had to move it or be towed. Well he didn't want to be towed so he took it back to where they had unloaded earlier in the day. Yeehaa I got to ride in the truck and it was neat. Want to do it more but little trips will have to do. The first time I was in a big rig was when I was in my early 20's when my boyfriend who was a trucker took me from Van to Aldergrove. That was the first time and now I got to do it again. Oh how I wish I could travel like that more. See the country and visit the states. The possibility of that is slim to none but there is still hope as long as I'm breathing. hehe. Yea right!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Ours was great, I went to a candle lighting service on the 22 of Dec and Christmas morning Ken and a friend came to church with me. The service was good and enjoyed by all that were there. Christmas dinner was great. Turkey, ham, all the other foods that go along with them. Yummy and then Strawberry Rhubarb pie and Blueberry Apple pie. I think I am getting kind of used to this new set up but it still takes time to get to know what is going on here. Please bear with me.
Feb 26 It was so nice to see an old friend in church this morning. It was martie grawe (SP) I'm not sure how to spell that but if you sound it out as it is written you will get it. hehe. Anyway this friend walked in and I knew I knew her. Then she was introduced and I said yes that is who it is. It has been a long time since I saw her. Some times friends go away and when they come back it is a pleasure to see them.
Waiting for a response from an agent who is looking over a nonfiction I wrote about my experience of having a hysterectomy. I thought it may help other women who have to have this procedure done. I have had it published on line at longstoryshort.us a number of years ago. Now maybe the agent will get a publisher to print it. If I don't hear from them by Wednesday 14 I'm suppose to e-mail back and request information. Oh the 3 weeks have been a long time. I know it isn't as long as 3-6-12 months to hear something.
March 20
Well I heard on March 12 that it wasn't what she wanted so have to try again. I think it would help some woman who has had to have a hysterectomy for any reason.

Wednesday evening was different. I had been asked to take over a prayer circle as the person who did it was off for the week. I felt a moments resistance for what did I know of leading a meditation prayer circle. But I let the Christ within do the work. S/he speaks through me very often and I thought this would be a good time to let go and let God. I think it worked very well. There was only a few people but that was okay with me. Now I know when I let go and let God anything can and does happen. Why don't we try it more often, not my way but Your way.
April 14, I forgot to enter the date the other day so will enter it today. This is a first! I'm entering from my laptop instead of the desk computer. I hope you had a wonderful Easter, I know I did. Ken and I spent Easter weekend at my nieces in Pritchard about 40 minutes east of Kamloops on #1. We went up on Thursday and came back Tuesday. Good Friday we went into Kamloops and my niece and I got Ken some sweatshirts at Value Village. He had about half an hour to get what he wanted but hadn't picked anything when we found him so we did the picking. Saturday my great niece and I went in for a few minutes to get a perm for me and a few other things for Sunday. Sunday dinner was ham, pineapple, baked potato and salad, then we had birthday cake and presents. I will be posting pictures of my new wine glass and my horses head. Lovely, I have great nieces.
I had my birthday present!!!! and I am satisfied, I think!!!! I had hoped to go to the Sunshine Coast for the weekend but when it was okay for me to work Monday afternoon I knew .we weren't going
anywhere for my birthday Sunday. I am glad I had my birthday on Easter.

April 27. It has been a wonderful month and now tomorrow my grandson will be sweet 16. He is sweet anyway but this makes it official, hehe. I completely forgot about his birthday since I was enjoying mine so much this year. It doesn't seem that long ago that I saw the image of him on the computer screen when him mom had the ultra sound. I loved him then as much as I do today. I wish him a long and healthy life with much love in his life and the ability to do what every makes him happy. Bless you my love. Grandma
What a wonderful day knowing God is alive and in my heart. I can do nothing alone only through the Christ within me can I do what is mine to do. I am never alone no matter how alone I feel. God is with me and with my family and loved ones. It is a wonderful day knowing God is with me always.
First day of spring.
About a week ago I was offered a gift. At first I didn't want to accept it as I felt I didn't really deserve such a gift. I asked for time to think about it and then realized that it had been offered with love and why couldn't I accept it with love. Then I remembered a poem I had written which makes it sound so easy but it isn't. I entitled the poem Just say Thank You
Just say Thank You
Giving is so easy
Why isn’t receiving?
Giving is God saying I love you
Why isn’t receiving the same?
Giving is a pleasure
Why can’t we receive in pleasure?
Giving is a gift
Why can’t we receive a gift with grace?
Giving is so easy
Can we just say thank you?
Giving is a blessing
Can we receive in blessing?
St Patrick's Day is over and now we look forward to Easter. Easter is the beginning of a new year for me as Easter and my birthday come close together this year. Some times it is the same day or as this year a week apart. I wish everyone a very happy Easter time. Enjoy the spring and new life blooming within all of us.
May 7 and I am still learning how to deal with this webpage. We had an interesting weekend. We went over to the Sunshine Coast to look at property, okay mobile homes in our financial range. We saw on in Gibsons that I liked but after we got home Ken had a bad feeling about it. I thought it was very nice, a nice sized master bedroom, a second nice size bdrm and a small one. The living room had been added on and the kitchen and very big living room was great. It was all very bright. The back yard was fenced in and there was a garden area in the front with a rhubarb patch that was lovely. Being as Ken didn't like it we are looking into one of the others the realitor showed us with a peak-a-boo view of the ocean. That one was a 2 bdrm and I don't actually remember much of it except it had a greenhouse and a nice yard that wasn't fenced in. We will have to wait and see.

Trying a new way of writing on my site. I'm bringing the newest to the top instead of at the bottom. It should be easier to understand instead of rereading what was and looking for what is new. Now what is new is on top. Think I like this color for writing and it is big enough to read without squinting.
May 20, I hope everyone is having a wonderful Victoria Day weekend. In Vancouver it is raining but not the winter cold rain.
May 17, I wish I knew what was being shown when someone checks in to my site. I have everything overlying but when I look at the preview it seem okay and space between. I have no real idea what you are seeing when you come. Can someone please contact me and say it is good, bad or needs a lot more work.
I would appreciate any and all comments. Thanks and I hope your long weekend is one of the best you have and why are you on the computer when you can be outside enjoying the sunshine. Okay why am I in the basement when I could be upstairs in the sunshine? Going how about you?
