Mom and Matt made it okay to Weekes. The weather was great. Mom said the trip went really well and they are glad they kept the winter tires on, because there is still lots of snow in the yard. Mom said that dad has gained 20 lbs, which is still underwieght for him however we will take it! He is looking much better. I found out that he had a episode a few weeks ago and Dr Pieterse feels dad needs a carotid ultraound to see if there is a blockage in his carotid arteries (feeds the brain blood). The appt is for April 22 in Saskatoon .
A big thanks to Bob Lindenback for making a ramp in the house for Matt. Mom just has to paint it. It is so much better than the metal one, and Matt doesn't have to change his chair setting (he can go straight into the house without having to stop and re adjust his chair settings).
Mom, Aunty Karen, and Aunty Sandy are planning on attending the Weekes Ladies retreat on the weekend. Have fun ladies! Also they are going to celebrate Aunty Margaret's birthday Friday night before they (Terry and Aunty Margaret)leave on a trip to Mexico.
Bobby and Amy are really enjoying the farm and they found the mud puddle that we used to play in when we were kids. They think Grandpa looks so 'silly" because he has a Grizzly Adams style beard.
Matt is looking forward to wing night with some friends and going uptown for crib and coffee.
Hope everyone is planning to spend some time with family this Easter holiday and remember what the holiday means (it just isn't all about the food and chocolate!).

That is great that George gained 20 lbs. I can give him 20 lbs of mine if he would like a little more. Ha!
