At last, the sun shines again

The sun has shone upon us again, and with it comes melting snow and lifting spirits.  We have survived the "weather bomb" of 2010, and frankly, it wasn't so bad for me.  I just had to stay home and be comfy.  Murray took his parents, both aged 85, to Regina to a doctors appointment during the peak of the "bomb".  He was able to sneak through, with the roads being closed right after him.  Coming home, Hwy 1 was closed at Peavy Mart, and the "north way" was closed at Pilot Butte.  He came home through Zehner on the back roads.  I am not sure how his parents felt about it all, but at least they got home safely.

Michelle got storm stayed at her mothers place in Balcarres.  She brought Declan by on Thursday, and went to do some errands/shopping in town.  I kept the little man, who screamed mightily the entire time except for a couple of 2 minute breaks when he cried himself to sleep.  When he starts to wake up, he is just too cute.  His little face gets all crooked, one eye and then the other opens, he has a few huge yawns, looks around, and decides to cry in protest for another 10 minutes.  He is only two weeks old, but already he reminds me so much of Murray and Brad.  Serves you right, Bradley. Anyway, hopefully he starts to get a little more accustomed to the universe and settles down a bit for his poor tired mother soon.

Murray was forced to take a couple of days off, but happily he is able to be back at doing stuff today.   He has friends and customers lined up like dominoes to give him a hand at each stop, one forgotten promise and the whole thing collapses down. 

I am working at the United Church Fall Supper tonight, instead of going to the Abernethy Fall supper with Bonnie and Wade, or attending the jewellry making class with Dianne.  I am confident that the good Lord knows my sacrifice and I will be rewarded accordingly.
