Summer if Officially Here

What a great June & start of July! Happy 4th to all the American's! We officially kicked off Stampede today and it was a great day to sleep in. Jack and I took Marshall to lunch today and what a beautiful man he is. We talked about many things and Jack and Marshall share some great memories of being in the hospital together. I have really gotten to know him much better with our quality visiting.
We also went to the Farmers Market and waited to meet Ryan there so he could take the DVD and get copies of the 50th Anniversary made. The market is great at this time of the year. So many fresh veggies - okay we also bought Simon Tarts (3 kinds); some buffalo burgers (can hardly wait for that) and they even have a wine store...so of course we had to take a visit through there. When Ryan came we went back in and checked out the fish store, the food court and even had some gelato (oh I paid for that...good thing that Ryan and Jack could finish mine).
Life is short is some ways. Nicole called to say that the gravel truck driver that was killed on Deerfoot trail on Wed. nite left behind his wife, 5 year old daughter and his 3 week old son. There is a church up by CCOC that is helping the family out with a fundraiser etc. We offered to help out as well, so we will have to see what else they need. Nicole knows this family through the street race group that she hangs out with on weekends. A very compassionate girl about people in need.
Dana, we are praying for you and your next challenge of brain surgery. We are so thankful to God for so many prayers answered that your cancer had not spread to the bones or bone marrow. We know that more prayers will be needed when you undergo brain surgery. So just keep up the positive thoughts and you will be travelling with us in early September to Washington. We love you....xoxoxoxo
