Temple Attendance

Our little branch in Wallaceburg went yesterday to the Temple.  Ten of us went to Toronto and another couple went to Detroit..  That is terrific for such a small branch.  One brother did work for his family for the first time.  He was so excited.  It was neat just to watch the glow on his face.  Things are beginning to turn around.  We started a new program just last week.  We now have 2 services in Wallaceburg on Sunday .  One 3 hour meeting in our rented building and a one hour meeting at 7 pm on the island.  It's exciting ...but also a very long day.

What A Fun Month With Lindsey Jeff and the Kids

Nathan and Clara came to visit with their cousins for a while. Nathan was the brave one when we went to see Heather's new baby chicks...he was the first to get the inside action.

Landon wasn't quite sure this was a fun experience.

Both he and Tyler however enjoyed their daily stolls with Nana and Papa.

More fun and treats at aunt Heather's.

Best of all was the splashing fun in the out door pool.

You can't see Landon cause he had just covered me with water from his bucket.

Lots of excitment the morning after a huge wind storm.  The neighbours tree ended up in our yard.

It was a real clean up job.....you can't even see the neighbours  fence or our bridge as it was covered with branches.

Landon and Tyler thought it was quite entertaining watching the guys saw up the heavy branches.

We ate most of our meals outdoors as the weather was great and the kids enjoyed it.

The kids spent hours throwing rocks in the pool and dipping in their cups or pails in the cool water.  It's hard to not have them here....but we look forward to December when we will all be together again.

Some New Improvements At The Cottage

Lindsey did this beautiful hearth.  What a great difference this has made.  It actually makes the fireplace look bigger. now.  It's also easy clean and I love that.

I had fun making some additions in the back.  Note the lovely wood pile. Not quite sure what I will do with it yet.

The bench is empty as Nana and Papa are out fishing with the grand kids.

Bill did a new driveway this year and we still have lots of gravel left over so he used some to enhance the fire pit.

Bill put in new stones and solar lights.  It looks neat at night.
