Back to the "banana belt"

Well, we just got back from Saskatoon and they are working on their snow removal budget already. They have been plowing their streets and it really looks like winter. It wasn't many miles south before we are back to our bare fields and 8 degrees. We have got moved home for sure now. We will be going back to Saskatoon in a month to check in with a Dr. but all physio appointments are now transfered here as well as being able to pick up bandages etc. We are very pleased. I look forward more relaxing visits to the city. We will travel without our list of appointments and be back to a little shopping and a lot of visiting. Stephen flies home on Dec. 19th and back to Oklahoma on Jan 1st. Melissa may or may not have her baby before Christmas so our holiday plans are somewhat flexible at the time. As long as we are all together, we don't worry about where. It will be a wonderful Christmas.
Take care and God bless. Stan and Maxine :-)

If I were working on a snow removal budget, I'd buy one of these:

It just looks like fun, somehow. Well, probably not as much fun as not shoveling snow at all...

Hi Stan and Maxine,

It is wonderful to hear that you have returned home. We wish you health and happiness in the upcoming weeks and in the new year. It was very uplifting for me to see you at Lectureship. Thanks for taking the time to share your summer story. I appreciate your positive attitude and your deep trust in God. Both were evident in your conversation.

That granddaughter is "oh, so precious"! I've enjoyed the photos of her on Monica and Roy's blog. I'm sure she (and grandbaby #2) will have you making regular journeys to Saskatoon. Enjoy each precious moment together. I somehow know that you will!
God bless.

Your message of November 18th saying you had "moved home" was so wonderful to read! Maybe the best one yet--Stan, you have come such a long, long way with God's loving care. Four months ago to the day--July 18th--was the day Stan was admitted to the hospital here in Moose Jaw and spending time with you on that day, not being certain what was going on for sure was pretty scary. Would be interesting to know how many prayers have been offered up for your family in that four month time frame. We are just so glad that things are getting back to normal and know that you both will appreciate home all the more and appreciate life like never before. Take care of each other. Love you both!! -- Dan & Linda

Glad to hear that things are getting back to normal in your world. That little grand-daughter is the cutest!
