Caught a little too much sun yesterday as we sat in the back yard enjoying the glorius weather here in Edmonton, which continues today and hopefully for the rest of the week. And as I sat there reading Lord Of The Rings on my new chaise lounger I couldn't help think how great this was to have a couple of months off and be ordered to do nothing but relax and take it easy. The guilt swept over me for all of two seconds and I then went back to my reading. But I am truely grateful that my recovery seems to be progressing so quickly and with having a clean bill of health after the surgery I can really enjoy the time off without having to worry about further treatments. As I mentioned in a previous post, we are planning to head to Saskatchewan this weekend for my niece's wedding. Chris, Nikki and I are going to leave Friday morning and take a liesurely drive down to the Cypress Hills via Drumheller to pick Sandi up from Eagle's Nest Ranch and then proceed to Regina from there. Dianne, Angela and Lee are going to leave Friday afternoon after work, stopping in Saskatoon overnight to meet us in Sedley on Saturday. Then, after the wedding, we will all head back on Sunday making it a real whirlwind tour as some people have to be back at work on Monday. I will be taking the camera, of course, so I hope to have a few shots up on the site early next week.
I have put a link to Loni Well's website to the left for anyone interested in hearing her story. She is the daughter of some friends of ours who is facing some serious health problems and needs an immediate kidney transplant. There was an article about her in the Edmonton Journal last Saturday which included a picture of our Sandi and there has also been other articles on TV as well as in print. I've reproduced the article here.Please take some time to check out the site and add your prayers to the rest of us for Loni's recovery.
