Haircut

Well. Matt is still in Weekes. The van is running but is still not in great shape. The smell of gas is still there when they start it and let it idle, and it bucks every once in a while when they are driving. So is still a waiting game. The plans are for them to come on Wed. or Thurs, but we will have to make different arrangements for a few days for accommodations. We have been having water problems out of our walkout basement. We thought It would be a quick fix but no can do! We now have a 5 foot trench to find out where the water was coming from. Hopefully that will be filled in and cement poured sometime this week.
Matt was able to see Denita's new baby, so cute. Denita was even able to cut Matt's hair and trim his facial hair. I guess he is looking spiffy!
Because of the van, Matt hasn't been at rehab, so is stiff and losing a bit of his function, so really needs to have therapy. Mom & Dad will try to get Matt to Melfort this week and do more therapy at home.
Dad is busy getting the fall yard work done and trying to get as much stuff ready as they can. I hope they get here soon, I have been puttting off doing my fall work until dad can do it!
Please pray that the weather will again be nicer and that we will get our cement poured so Matt has a way into the house from the basement. Otherwise he will have to sleep in the dining room! I truly believe God is looking out for Matt and that great things are in store for him. God knows our family isn't great with patience and we are on his "continuing education" program. This verse is great, with Thanksgiving day soon upon us. Philippians 4:6-7 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Jesus Christ".

Hi Matthew. Not sure when you are leaving for Red Deer but hope you have a great trip. You better leave before the snow flies. Ha!
It sure was cool today.

We finished combining Friday afternoon. Sure was happy about that.

Have a good trip and good workouts with your sister and helpers.

Love Aunty Sandy
