Moving On

Moving On

It's that time of year I guess. My niece phoned the other night, she is very excited about her upcoming move from her small Saskatchewan community to the city of Saskatoon to attend University. Then yesterday, a neighbors daughter came over with a thank you gift for us, (she had her graduation photos taken in our yard). She will be moving next week to Ontario to attend school. Yesterday my sister and one of her sons also came up to visit. We spent a pleasant afternoon making some picture frames out of some old barn wood. She also brought her dog, a Golden Retreiver, so our dogs had a happy doggy afternoon. They always enjoy when Zoe comes to visit. The first thing she (the dog not my sister!!) did was take a dip in our big pond which my nephew found quite funny. Nephew (10 years old) is quite interested in keeping the fish from our pond over the winter for us, he likes beasties and took home a multi-colored caterpillar with him. He did warn me that he is really not too good at keeping fish pets alive; and wasn't sure if he would give them back when we return in spring, if they do survive. Hard to believe that my baby sister has been married for 23 years(yesterday) and that her oldest son is in Grade Eleven this year. My oldest son was their ring bearer, so that makes me feel a couple of months older also.

I guess we will also be moving on in a different direction with our lives, by taking the winter off to go to Mexico.

Our lives are all changing, in a variety of ways, and everyone is excited about their new paths. Hopefully we will all enjoy the travels that life takes us on.
