Turns out R and A don’t need a babysitter till August 18… I’m thinking I should just tell them to advertise… and if they can’t find a suitable sitter, to call me and I’ll go (Wow, I looked at real estate in CR again… and prices still seem to be dropping!) (A has applied for a job with the City of C… they could eventually move if he got it…)
Yesterday I continued clearing off and packing up the stuff on the bookcases on the stair landing (which I started on Friday). Worked pretty hard. I have another pile of stuff to get rid of now!
After hubby got up late afternoon, we went and bought quite a lot of groceries – for amazing prices! Theme: minimal cooking (too hot!) and yet healthy! Thank You, Father!
Big forest fires started burning yesterday afternoon in Glenrosa and other parts of West Kelowna. Now 17,000 people have been evacuated (well, 11,000 evacuated, 6,000 on altert) and the fire has really spread because of the high winds and extreme hot, dry conditions. Now the sky here is getting hazy and it’s smelling smokey. (Meantime there was a huge storm in Alberta last night with hurricane force winds!).
This morning I made and took puffed wheat squares and oatmeal unbaked cookies to church-in-the-park. Ate a couple of slices of French toast. Lots of chatting. Pastor P talked about suffering and sorrows, and comfort in the Lord. He asked me to close in prayer.
Oh yes! J brought me a grocery cart yesterday to replace the one that “walked off.” And it’s bigger and better! Yay! Thank You, Papa!
