29 January 2010

Well, a lot has happened in the past month.
My mom died after a short battle with bladder cancer; she was 90. Her mind was stable up to the end. I miss her. I'm so glad we got to see her in October. Her friend, Anita, was so precious to help my ma out every day.

It has snowed and been cold. There was a thaw that saw the near collapse of the roads in the countryside. In front of our house the ruts were 8 inches deep. Finally it got cold again and the town could smooth the road and lay some gravel. It is not perfect, but it is SO much better.

Work has been stable. Very little flu.

We have been healthy.

The children had a wonderful time at a recent church outing.

Our seeds have arrived, and we are planning our gardens.

We can still pray and read our Bibles. May God continue to protect us.
