Lots of Company

Was finally able to speak with mom and Matt. We were in Calgary for Jacki's birthday and just got back tonight. Matt looks so good because he got rid of his facial hair. He says he looks 15 but I think he looks great!
Matt is still not feeling great in the am and early pm, but by 4 pm he feels like his normal self. Mom was really pushing Matt Saturday to do his exercises. However she did it after he had his sleeping pills, so not good planning. But Matt always puts on his best performance and was able to hold the "bridge" position for 25 seconds. Matt is laying in bed and mom helps to bend his knees and hold them. Then he lifts his butt off the bed and has to hold that position. He was teasing mom that she couldn't hold that postion for 25 seconds! Go team Matt!! She also makes him move his left hand all the time and even though it makes him spasm it is improving, even if it is slow.
The weather hasn't been cooperating in Sask so not too much touring outside. But thank goodness for lots of company, it always makes the time go faster.
Played Wii against mom. They decided on golf. Matt beat mom. She didn't do too bad but her putting needs some work. So with two good arms mom couldn't beat Matt. Wait until the left really starts pulling ahead, then you could even beat me!!
Tonight Matt and I were asking trivia questions related to the bible. Matt had a few that were so difficult for me so I better start reading some more!
Psalms 147:10-11 "His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, nor his delight in the legs of a man; the Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love."

Looks like your mom is giving you a good workout. All for the best too I guess.

Larissa got home from Briercrest on Saturday night. I actually went down with the truck since her little car doesn't hold very much and we basically had both packed pretty good. Now she's going to work for Reg for the summer farming, with the exception of going to Ketchen Lake Bible Camp during July.

I kind of had to laugh at her last night because she asked her dad what the hours were going to be. His response - when does the sun get up and when does the sun go down. I guess that just about says it all.

Tonight, Larissa and I are going to go to Kelvin Young's fiance shower at the Neely Lake Hall. I haven't been there in a long time. It always amazes outsiders that that old school building is still used for anything.

I think we're coming up to Saskatoon this Saturday. Maybe we'll slip in to see you. Depends if we can drag Reg away from the farm for more than a couple of hours.

Take care.
