Here is another one my face book like posts. I like them because they are easy to write, and should be easy to read as well.
Mae:
~ is thankful to God for a good and safe trip back to our home in Texas.
~had fun visiting Yellow Stone National Park, as well as Mt Rushmore and Crazy Horse monuments on our way back down from Canada.
~ was glad that we had the opportunity to go by those places for the kids. They really enjoyed that , and we got lots of pictures.
~ thought is was neat to return to Yellow Stone with our 6 kids: one of the places my hubby and I went on our honeymoon trip over 12 years ago!! ( we didn't get a speeding warning this tme ! :)
~ is missing her home in Alberta already!! And missing my friends to be sure!!
~ is thinking of some great things to share here on my blog. ( hopefully soon )
~ is trying to get back in a good routine again with school and everything else.
~ wishes she had high speed Internet to post pictures here. ( just may have to use my brother's high speed )
~ is so very thankful for a blessed summer in Alberta, and hoping for another one this coming year!!
~ will always refer to our place here in Texas as , "one of our homes" ( you can take the girl out of Canada, but you can't take the Canada out of the girl!)
~ is looking toward our future home in Heaven. We have to remember where our "home" really is. Were only passing through here. Our " home" is Above.
Well until next time,
In Him,
Mae

fall and me
It is FALL time!! My most favorite season!
It is so pretty with the fall colors: wish you could see what I see. Also wished i could post pictures, but my internet is too slow for that.
Here is some fall happenings here where I am in northern Alberta.
Grain farmers are harvesting their fields. Right by us the wheat fields are done, and now canola is next. It has been a bit rainy here, so has set back farmers for a couple days. I love seeing the swathers and combines in action, and the trucks taking the grain away. I have took pictures and even use my video camera some!!
The leaves are turning colors and falling. I love seeing leaves all over the yard. I don't know, it just looks so pretty to me!! The color around here is just yellow though, no reds like on maple trees.
The weather is cooler, but not cold. Not to me anyway. I am loving it!! Most mornings have been in the 40s F and day time is around 50s and 60s F. Right now it is 52F. This weather makes me want to be out side and run around like a child!! In fact I have been playing games out side with the kids in the evenings. We have the best place for hid-n-seek. Lots of out buildings and bushes and so on.
The gardens are all finished. I just canned the last of the tomatoes i had yesterday. They were picked green and as they ripened here in the house, i canned them. The root vegetables are all dug. Carrots and potatoes go in the root cellar. We have butter cup squash and zucchini squash in our basement. Lots of frozen vegys in the freezer.
Schooling is going full swing. I have Nathan in grade 6, Clayton in grade 3, and Sam in grade 1.
Keeps me very busy with them, and tending the other little ones. But everyone is doing good.
Baby Benjamin is really growing and doing wonderfully!! He wakes only once or twice during the night. I would say my best yet!
I so love this time of year and i have so loved all our time here!! So grateful for that!
At this point we have plans of heading back to Texas for the winter, and then returning again in the spring. I will miss it much.
But will be nice to see everyone in Texas again too.
Until next time,
In Him,
Mae

A poem for moms
I just wanted to share this cute poem that is on a hall hanging of mine.
Fingerprints
I know you get discouraged,
Because I am so small
And Always leave my fingerprints
On furniture
But everyday I'm growing,
I'll be all grown up someday,
And all the smudges that I did
Will surely fade away.
So here's another bunch of them
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small.
