West Edmonton Mall

Well no trip to Edmonton is complete unless you visit West Edmonton Mall. Trish my brother Andrews wife and his children Joshiah, Jennie, Emma and Erin took us for a visit.

Christmas in August?

I made it to the Sim household to find a turkey thawing out in the sink. Well the Sims and Dunsmores along with the Shellembergs(Vanessas parents) did 5 Christmases together while the Sims lived in Ontario, so what a great opportunity to relive some good memories and cooking a full turkey dinner. Mike, Vanessas boyfriend is seen here carving the turkey. We had a great time, the turkey though turned out "spongy?" according to some meaning being an old bird.

New dates for Edmonton stay

Changed the dates to Aug 16th to September 2nd.

Anisten is so excited!

Wow, I am so excited to be writting this down. Due to a miraculous situation, Anisten and I will be going to Edmonton to visit family and friends.

God is Good and he planned every detail and we will be going from Wednesday August 16 to Sunday August 27.

I asked Anisten what she thought about going on a plane ride and she just SHRIEKED so my next question was "Where would you like the plane to take us?" "EDMONTON" was the reply, no surprise there.

My 2 brothers live there with their families and off course "Madison" her best long time friend. Edmonton was my home town when I first came to Canada in 1980.

So my mom will have to take care of Shadie, Dietrich and Spotty as we enjoy visiting the City of Champions. I of course will take the digital camera and may do some postings. Oh the wonders of modern technology from the internet to digital cameras and Airplanes!

something that makes you say uhm...

"Good judgement comes from experience.

And experience, well that comes from having bad judgement."

I am here!

I have not posted much over the last bit and everyone is probably thinking I am too depressed to do so. Well God is good and my days are good(with the occasional little blip).

I am home this week and done with the kitchen job at Kiddies Kollege. Even though being in the kitchen is not my first choice working with Leslie ensured a good time.

Now I am looking for the next way to bring the money into the bank. The jobs available at the middle school(public school board) that I have done a work placement for have been put on the permanent job board and if no one applies then I will get a chance to apply once it goes to the casual side. I have been told that people don't apply for jobs here in the Malton area of Mississauga as it has a high multicultural population and therefor its challenges so I have a higher chance in securing a job right here in my own back yard (so to speak). So I would greatly appreciate your prayers as getting a job is very much a need.

I am trying to cut down costs so I have ordered a new VOIP service so I won't have to pay for my regular phone service and that has been a quick learning curve in technology. So if you call and my phone has been disconnected don't worry it will be only temporary as the changes are taking effect and the number will remain the same with the new service. I am going to have to find someone to help me wire the system so all the phones I plug into the jacks will work. This will save me about a third and it comes with many more calling features included even my most hated of all phone services call waiting. And the big bonus will be the airmiles. Maybe one day I will get enough to do...
