My heart is still so heavy for my friends! I know they are hurting and I’m so powerless to help or encourage in anyway except to love and pray for them! There are many difficult days ahead and I hope that God can be the comfort to them all that He continues to be for me!

The following was a shot of the sunrise as I was driving to work this morning. It’s a little blurry however I am liking the promise of the sunrise on a brand-new day!


I had a meeting at the office this morning and now I’m on my way to Saskatoon for a meeting I have to attend tomorrow morning.


My trip was uneventful and I arrived at some dear friends in time to have supper together and they kindly had constrained me to stay with them tonight! As you can see in the photo attached this was no hardship at all. The following is a picture of the dessert they shared and the room prepared for me!



How I love these folks, what an uplifting evening and time! The heartwarming welcome and spirit in this home is second to none!

I awoke to a text from Kelsey the two alarm fire in Calgary last night was Taylor's house! It's where the girls stayed the night before they left for Arizona!


Thank goodness for a comforting meeting this morning! Not sure how things will unfold from here! For now we just standby as the minutes tick by! Sometimes that's the hardest part! We found out just now that they think there was someone in the house! How my heart aches for our friends.

This is definitely pre-occupying the majority of my day! My mind keeps going over every scenario and I'm still no further ahead! Now I have to go on with my own responsibilities and somehow keep focus while all of me struggles with all of the unanswered questions right now!

Finally made Cub the homemade hamburgers he's been asking for! They were good and along with corn on the cob made a very scrumptious supper! Now just time for a quick bath and I'm off to gospel meeting! I'm anxious to go as I know it will help calm the turmoil roiling around inside me right now!

It was a very comforting meeting. I love when I feel God's promise so intensley! "Joy and sorrow interwoven, love in all I see!"

It's 7:30 AM and I could be sleeping! However bodily functions, a geriatric old cat and my foggy old brain all seem to have other ideas! Hence one of the reasons for starting this now!

I do know that to preserve my sanity and keep from getting sucked into a pit of poor me! I'm going to have to get up and get busy with something as the alternative means getting to deal with difficult things later on!

I do hear the dog rustling about now too so with him added to the mix it shouldn't be too long and this day is truly underway!

Another death fairly close to home in our city! A young mother has succumbed to cancer and leaves a young husband and two  little children! I didn't know her personally but know lots of people who did! It also has such a large impact because of her young age!

The girls adventure continues and slowly temperatures in their part of the world are returning to what you would expect desert temperatures would be!

It's 10:11 AM, just had a very nice visit with my mother-in-law on the phone! Managed to get cleaned up from breakfast while we were chatting! Now that the dishes are done and kitchen cleaned its time to focus on the next task!

It's a very good thing I made my bed already as it would certainly be tempting to crawl back in there right now! It's still quite cool in the house and the be is so warm and cozy that its very tempting today!

It's about 1:30 PM on Saturday Aft and I'm currently in a car wash! I did chill for about an hour and then walked Hobbes am now getting ready to head to the barn to walk Leo!


Walked and groomed Leo! He's ready for spring and starting to shed his winter coat! It was super nice and warm out so I really enjoyed my time with the old fellow! At the very end he lunged at me but he missed fortunately!

So I downloaded some food directions my little sister put me on too! Lets see if it works! I am also going to start getting and recording check marks! I think this will help my sleeping! I will of course journal it here!

Glor has decided that Cubber and I should go out for supper so we will likely do that!

For a little while this afternoon it was fun to chill in the living room with Gloria and Liam and of course Tigger and Hobbes!



I did end up going out for supper with Liam! Starting tomorrow I'm going to cut way back on the amount of carbs I eat! So tonight I started this by ordering vegetables as my sides! I tried to give my toast to Cub, but he didn't want it and I ate it instead!
