Well the weekend of the wedding was a wet one. There was a few brief periods where it didn't rain but we still weren't able to have a fire and a good old wiener roast. I think I missed that the most. It was good to see so many of the family and on Friday we all visited in Auntie Karen and Uncle Neil's garage. Matt didn't get to sleep until 4 am and that made for a long Saturday. Jamie's wedding was lovely and it was all in the same place so we didn't need to travel from place to place. It was in the lower level of the Army and Navy building but it had an elevator so Matt could attend. He didn't last long and needed to have a sleep in the van. Gary was out there because Bobby was asleep in their van. So he kept an eye out for Matt. After a short nap he was feeling better and enjoyed visiting and watching teh kids go crazy on the dance floor, or was that the adults!
Sunday we had a birthday party for Jada and Shaunie. It was also dad's birthday too but he did not attend as he stayed in Weekes. There was a pinata, stick the flower on the the picture, a cupcake cake. A great time was had by young and young at heart. Many of the family were heading back to their respective homes but there were a few that stayed until Monday. We had such a late start on Sunday night that Mom and Matt decided to stay one more night and head back today. It was a good idea. By the time we hit Provost it was dusk and their were so many deer out that we often would have to come to a dead stop and then could only travel 70 kms per hour. We didn't get home until 12am.
Mom and Matt are still not here but should be arriving shortly. They had stopped at Parkridge to see if any one could take a look at Matt's wheelchair. It is on it's last legs and unfortunately they will not fix it until it is completely broke down. Then they ship it off for 2-3 weeks to get repaired. That doesn't help much when that is currently Matt's only mode of transportation. They had to miss rehab today but has another appt booked for Wednesday.
Great to see everyone at the wedding/reunion. next year it will be in Shell Lake. Rain, rain go away!

Hello everybody. Another summer gone and dont know where it went. Was hoping to get down to weekes and see you before you went back, but as you know i didnt make it again. They make me work the odd Sunday and i hate it. Should be a law against working on Sunday. ( just whinning) Hope you had a good trip back after the big wedding.Couple more weekes and there will be another one, guess i better start getting ready. Not much happening here just work so will say buy for now. Foam Lake crew.
Hi Matthew. It was so good to see you and everyone else at the wedding/reunion. We had a wonderful time despite the weather.
And yes, I think we all missed sitting around the fire and roasting wieners. Nothing like a roasted wiener over the firepit.
Hope you and your mom had a good trip back to Red Deer. That mom, never afraid to drive that big van by herself. It was so good to spend time with your mom again. I miss her.
Happy Birthday George. We all thought of you at the birthday party.
Take care and talk to you again soon.
Love Auntie Sandy
