We have had a week of great weather, but being in Alberta we have had a thunderstorm almost every evening. Okay with me, then I don't have to water my garden!
Last weekend Matt travelled up to Calgary with mom and dad to watch the Riders get beat. He was not impressed. On Saturday night they went to the neighbors for a block party and Matt had a great time. Mom stayed and watched the kids. Sunday evening they popped over to celebrate the last of Father's Day with a wiener roast. What a great evening. Very little bugs and no wind. We were having such a good time we didn't notice the time. The girls were still up, running around with flashlights and those light that light up when you break them. I suddenly realized it was 10:30 pm and they had school the next day! 2 very cranky girls the next morning (and a cranky mommy).
I am so thankful dad came for a few weeks. Last night he was here for 8 hours, cutting the grass, weeding the garden, maintaining the lawnmowers. I don't know how I will keep up when he goes back to Sask.
Matt's trailer shoud be here today and mom already has a check list of the garage sales she wants to go to. I already have quite a bit to put in my trailer and the girls have decked it out with crayons, coloring books, and dolls! John has been working pretty steady for the last week and is on call all weekend, so he won't have much say what goes in until he gets back from the World Cup soccer in South Africa.
Matt is going to the hospital on Monday for a refresher on exercises with Sonja, so Airene can start working again on his left hand.
Can't wait to start camping, we already spend the evenings in there with popcorn and books. Haven't slept in it yet, still must get a battery and propane. But already it feels like a second home (in our yard!).

Hi Matt,
You probably don’t remember me, since the last time I saw you, you were 5 or 6 years old. My name is Michael Webster and I was a friend of Shelley’s.
The other evening I found myself at my computer wondering what had become of Shelley’s two little brothers and I performed a Google search for you and Nolan. There, I found this blog. At first I wasn’t sure if it was the same Matt Gustafson that I was searching for, but as soon as I saw the picture with you and Amy I knew it was the little boy that I remember, all grown up.
I have never forgotten playing hockey with you and Nolan on the pond at the farm and pulling the two of you around the yard behind the snow machine; or playing catch in the summer. Even then there was a tent trailer set up in the farmyard; it is nice to see things haven’t changed.
The strength and character of your family left a lasting impression on me and those qualities are still clearly evident in both you and your family and my thoughts and prayers are with you as you continue your recovery.
Even though I lost contact with your family they have always held a special place in my heart and if there is ever anything that I, or my family, can do to help please let me know.
Enjoy the summer, looks like it might finally be here!
Sincerely,
Michael Webster
