Back In Weekes

Mom and Matt left yesterday followed behind by Jacki and the kids. They left at 1130 and got to Weekes at 1130 at night. Lots of stops along the way and hit some pretty heavy rain between Melfort and Crooked River. They missed the lovely weather we had last night. It was the strongest wind we have ever experienced since the hail storm 2 years ago. It broke one the trees on the south side of the house and the lightning and thunder was continuous for 2 hours. The rain was perpendicular and was impossible to drive in. The same wind blew through Camrose and caused devastation at the Big Valley Jamboree, killing one person adn injuring 15. Let's just say, we spent the time in the basement just in case.
Hope everyone from Weekes will get a chance to visit with Matt while he is home. He will be there until the 14th of August and then up to Saskatoon for the wedding. They were going to go to church this am but just couldn't get themselves in working form, the kids getting up at 6 am and making for a very short night of sleeping.
Auntie Margaret and Terry came to visit on the Thursday night before Matt and Mom left and we had such a good visit. Terry came into town with me and I picked up portable ramp for Matt, so he could get into Auntie Karen's house and anyone else's. It folds out to 8 feet so works quite well to get into places with a few stairs. It was brand new and cost $800 where they usually cost $1200-1400. Stills seems like alot of money.
Matt will continue to have a bit of therapy with mom and they took the standing frame too. Hopefully he won't lose too much while he is gone.
