and it's Friday!

Another week has gone by! Stan has had a good week and this afternoon Monica joined us for a 2 km walk, about mile! There has been some pain in his shoulder as it is not completely healed and Stan still pushes himself a little further.... trying to get that extra stretch and strength back. He is encouraged to not work as hard at it until the healing is complete. Physical therapy is still a good thing and they are trying to fit him into a longer time slot for the "pulleys" which means the gym. We have been out and about a little more, more than just appointments!

I have been busy this week finishing off Monica's baby quilt. Today we both worked on quilting a project that my Mom, Grace, had started and planned to give to Monica. That was fun for us both to make the project "tri-generational" Next I will pick fabric to start on a special quilt for Melissa's baby. This is a nice place to be with the babies on their way!
We miss home, but progress is still being made here and we still need the medical connections is Saskatoon. 'Til next time, Stan and Maxine :-)

Thanks for Friday's update--Stan, we are so glad things are still coming along so well--but don't overdue it--listen to the physio people--and of course to Maxine!!
How exciting to be preparing for the new babies. What a treasure the quilt will be--a bit of Greatgrama Grace, Grama Maxine and Mom Monica stitched into it! Maybe Granpa Stan could get in on the action as well!!
Take care--you are both still in our thoughts and prayers!!
Love from, Dan & Linda

So glad to hear of the amazing progress. I just recently learned of your blog. Our congregation here, in the Lloydminster, has been praying for Stan and your family on a continuous basis. Take Care, Rolland and Laurie Bouchard

It is nice to hear that things are going well you have made so much progress since I saw and it it wonderful to read about it "every Friday" although we check everyday for news of "grampa" and maybe baby news!! You are always in our thoughts and prayers, take your time getting better.
