Home was good :-)

We're back in Saskatoon for a couple of days after 5 nights at home! Stan was glad to be back doing some farm work and is inspired to keep getting toughened up so he can go home and have the stamina to do more.
We were back into S'toon by 11:30 am for day surgery to have the permcath removed. "Day" surgery is so named because that's how long it takes to get admitted and lay around until he had his 15 minute time in the operating room. We left hospital and went for supper about 7pm. The nurses were telling him that they see a lot of lines going in, but very few coming OUT so they were very happy for him. Today and tomorrow are pyshyical therapy appointments and they we're off to the farm again. The driving may get "old" before long, but for now it feels like the right thing to do.
Today is our 32nd Wedding Anniversary. I realized it could have been a very sad day for me, but instead I feel VERY blessed that we are together and will celebrate with our family. You have a great day, too!!

"In Gratitude We Celebrate... the joy the season brings
and the lives that overflow with an abundant of all good things,
And we give thanks for each day entrusted in our care,
For the love of family and friends and the blessing we have to share."

Well, Congratulations!
"At times you may have grown weary,
and you probably stepped on each other's toes, but your commitment to each other shows that you have what it takes to reach the goal." Happy 32nf Anniversary today to a special couple who deserve the prize.

Dear Maxine & Stan:
Happy, Happy 32nd anniversary!!! Wow!!! where did those years go so quickly, eh? We're not far behind you, so won't bash your age or anything! ha ha
Glad your time at the farm was good. Soon, God willing, you won't have to be making those miles. We will pray that that occurs in the near future.
P.S. Your grand daughter is beautiful!! Talk to you soon. Take care & may God continue to work in your lives.

Happy Anniversary. 32 years. I didn't realize you guys were that old.

Regarding driving to and from Saskatoon. I have a work mate who drives from Aldergrove to Downtown Vancouver everyday. 2 Hours each way.
Longer if traffic is bad. You can get used to anything.

Good to hear that you are doing so good Stan.

God Bless

Congratulations on your 32 years together. It doesn't seem all that long since your wedding day.

You have a beautiful little granddaughter. We pray God's continued blessings on all of you.

Congratulations to both of you. It is a very special anniversary this year! Glad your days at the farm were good, and trust the driving will go okay as winter comes along.

Happy Trails ahead.
Praise God for another anniversary, one that might have been difficult if not for the grace of God. Prayers are going up continually from here in Red Deer for you. Thank you for making it to Lectureship to encourage us all! Following your story (disease to healing, continuing recovery, grand daughter born, etc.) reminds me for some reason of Naman who was healed by dipping in the Jordan River. I have no idea what the connection is except that God brings blessings in some extraordinary ways!

In our extraordinary God's name,
