Back to everyday life......this has been a quiet week of sorts. I've been cleaning up from the weekend. Sleeping....coping with the everyday rain. You'd think we live on the coast!



Monday I was at home I think. Tuesday, I took my parents to Winnipeg. Mom had three appointments. 1) radiation 2) counsellor 3) mammogram. Did some quick basic grocery pickups and developed the weekend pictures. I even made enlargements for my living room already. Tuesday evening, Andrea had us over for supper. She is amazing! Great supper and even better relaxing evening. Wednesday-I spent an hour on the phone getting my internet going again. Then I spent 4 hours trying to hook up and cable up my laptop/home computer/anything, to try and get the videos from the weekend onto DVD's. Oh I wish I was a little more intelligent regarding computers. So, finally last night, I got a hookup onto a DVD recorder in my bedroom and made 1 DVD. Wouldn't you know it, the video was 2 minutes longer than the DVD had room for. And yeah, I could cut it off, but it was a really good song at the end! So, today, I bought more DVD's, and I tried to get it going again, but its not working. I guess it needs specific DVD's, and I didn't buy the right ones! UGH! This morning I did a quick trip to town and brought Del lunch-along with his boss and other workers-and then I came home to nap. Yes, I'm back at work tonight. I am starting 3 twelve hour nights. On a summer weekend. Maybe there will be a blessing with the rain.



Mom is half done with the radiation. Shes holding up quite well.



I'm running out of projects for the boys. I think I'm gonna get them started on cleaning out our bush. I'm not comfortable giving them a chain saw quite yet, when I'm not around. So, maybe I'll have them pull out deadfall and they can cut it up when I'm home. I don't know.
Alright, I'm off to dream up a supper thats fit for this family. Do you think grilled cheese will do?? :-)
