Day 147 ~ Thursday, May 28

A busy, busy day.

First, take the truck to the glass shop in Camrose.

Then, come back home to drop Jim off.

I went in to Wetaskiwin to give Kathryn a hand - including take her to the doctor.


On my way in to town, I stopped by this pond to watch a Goose family drama.....




Mom and Dad gather their children for a little trip across the pond.





At first, they did not notice that there was a 'dawdler'






But Daddy Goose quickly noticed someone was missing. He fell back and started loudly calling to his wayward offspring.




The little guy hurried to his father's call and soon the whole family was together again.






I dropped Kath at the clinic for her doctor appointment, then helped with some cleaning before Kathryn dyed and cut my hair.


Jim was busy while I was gone....




He made our first Square Foot Garden frame!


He also finished watering the potatoes - a huge job, since he first made a 'bowl' for each plant to hold water, giving each potential plant a good soak.





I was not at home long before we left for Camrose again to pick up the truck.


Back home to drop the truck off.


To Wetaskiwin to see Vinj come off the field from his first league soccer game, see Elizabeth come off the field from her game, and arrange to meet everyone at Rob and Lana's to give Emma a 'mini birthday party'.




We gave Emma her birthday gift.....the kid's version of 'Cranium'.




We did not play the game, exactly, but Emma and Sophia acted out some of the charade cards and the rest of us guessed what they were doing - while we ate the Dilly Bars and Buster Bars Vinj and Kath provided.



You have to wear these goofy glasses in order to read what you are to 'act out'...... then, if you wear bifocals, it is still hard to read because the print is so tiny.




We had a fun, laughter filled evening.



But we ended by taking Kathryn to the hospital for a stress test on Talia......Kath had been a little worried since her doctor's appointment and had not noticed any movement for quite some time.



The stress test showed that Talia's heartbeat was strong and regular - she also started moving around as soon as they put the monitor straps on Kath. So, Vinj and Kath were able to rest more peacefully that evening.



Me too.
