Hi Folks;

It's 7:15; facilitated a training session all day for Schulich and Sue is off to Ottawa followed in quick succession with Montreal with the horse show stuff. I'll see her in ten days, but not without me first spending another four days in Saskatchewan-life is indeed hectic.

I just spoke with Terry Darby and he and Margie may come over for the night on Friday. It's always great to catch up with old friends spontaneously; Angie, following your note, I think we need to have some meaningful time with Jenny soon. Great that the picnic was fun and you paused to determine what to eat. That's always a major accomplishment for me.

Birgie, isn't that great that you can smell the water and absorb the moment where you live. I know that both Sue and I would really like to live on the water looking over the horizon-ocean or big lake, it doesn't matter. You are indeed very fortunate in so many ways. I'm thinking about you and cheering you on to have success with your diagnosis.

Neenie, you wolf in sheep's clothing; you need to lighten up and become a little more reckless. You are a gifted and talented artist having received such a predisposition from your mom and you need to give yourself some space. Just love life and all else will come in your direction including the special guy.

I have been driving Matt's jeep, a standard and I must say it's a lot of fun. When the threat of rain is gone, I will be taking the top off. The sun has been shimmering through the trees in the homestead and there is a whisper of wind; Ruby is nudging me for attention and life is indeed good. Let it be so for all of my family.
