Laura's Wedding

Gabriela

It was a busy weekend at the Convent.  Our niece, Laura, was married in Woodstock on a very pretty spring day.  It was really good to see the whole family all dressed up and looking good.  Linda is pleased now that it is all over and everything went off without a hitch.  Scripture was 1 Corinthians 13.  The preacher explained that Paul didn't specifically write it for weddings.  This inspired me to read it and meditate on the passage all weekend..."For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then I shall know even as also I am known."  This really gives us something to chew on.

Green

The south loft at the cottage

Shades of green are growing up all around. Life continues in Happy Valley. Today I took a computer course on Excel at work. I am the type that likes the magic performed by a program such as it. It's like learning a new language.

Jane and Linda are enjoying getting the gardens ready for another spectacular hot summer. Linda's daughter, Laura, is getting married on Saturday. Linda made her daughter's bridal dress. She is a meticulous seamstress.

We praise the Lord for the many blessings he has bestowed on us.

High Gas Prices?!

This VW gets over 100km per liter of diesel!

We're going to win this battle over high fuel prices... by adopting an attitude of conservation, and looking for the cars that are fuel efficient.

No April Fool

Time to dust off the old laptop and put down a few lines on the blog. I'm sitting here by the window at the cottage on a beautiful spring morning watching the birds. Jane is at work. Despite all the talk of global warming, high gas prices and looming recession, things look pretty good in our neck of the woods when the sun is shining! Praise God. Last week Lorne came up for a stay, and we caught up on all the news and had a nice barbeque. The old red Benz is just about ready to be put away for the summer. We will get the Banana Benz out for the summer and hopefully run it on pure Veggie Oil. I'm excited.
