Another week has passed while we are on the road, and far away from the shore of Lake Superior. We enjoy Sunday morning with the congregation on Highway 36 south of Abilene. Southalls are hosting us; Shepherd, Ruhtt and family join us, and we enjoy Jonathan Straker—the preacher there. His sister Jacquie is also there, so we are pleased to get some news of that family. After church, Shepherd & Ruhtt treat us to a fine meal at a steak house in Abilene, and then we head north up highway 83 toward Canada. We run into snow in northern Texas, but persist for the short trip across Oklahoma before finally giving up for the night in Garden City, Kansas.
On Monday morning we carry on northward in fine driving conditions for most of the day. We run into snow again south of Minot, but drive through it across the border and finally stop for the night at Weyburn. We complete the drive up to Regina on Tuesday morning.
We spend the remainder of the week with the all Wendy's brothers gathering in Regina, enjoying time with them and continuing preparations for the big birthday celebration this afternoon. It is Ellis' 83rd birthday—Happy Birthday!
We have enjoyed getting into using video Skype on my new laptop. Shepherd & Ruhtt are set up and be chat with them for hours back in Abilene. Erin also joins in from Thunder Bay, so we get to see Kristian as well. Verner joins in from Dallas—this Skype stuff is pretty good!
Kristian comes down with an ear infection, so he's on antibiotics for that. He is also continuing treatments for the bacterial infection in his eyes—poor little guy. Erin is working to manage this with grandma close by—good job, Erin! She also needs to catch up on her studies, so she's probably (hopefully) in for busy times.
I have been able to chat (typing on line) with Travis a few times, and hope he'll get onto Skype soon.
Anyway, that's about it for this week!
