April 20

Happy Easter!  Well, hockey season I winding down.  One more week.  My gal jokingly refers to an Alvin Kolach kinda day.  Coffee with the Kelvington boys at 8, volleyball at 9:30, eat, hockey at 12:40, siesta, go for a long walk, eat, ukulele group at 7:30, home in time for TSN highlights, sleep, wake up to you know, read daily meditations, meditate, pray for everyone and everything, sleep more...repeat.  Next week is an Alvin Kolach kinda week.  Hockey Monday, Slow Pitch Tuesday, Volleyball Wednesday, Slow Pitch Thursday, Hockey Friday.  I'll have to make some adjustments now.  Substitute hockey with golf and pencil in kayaking/biking for volleyball. Life is good.  Oh yeah and I have another preaching gig on April 28.  Pastor Ali always asks me to preach the Sunday after Easter because he has to preach 8 times during Holy Week.  No problem for me.  Funny thing is:  the text is always about Doubting Thomas.  I always find a new way to approach the text.  My family is doing well.  Luv Bug had her first birthday on April 12.  Mary had the party on April 13.  There were 28 people at the brunch birthday party.  I was pleased to have my brother, Vince, and his wife, Booba, attending the party.  They came up on Friday so we could attend a dance at the Scandanavian Club.   I told Vince, "The Scandinavian Club dances will make you feel young mainly because the average age is 75.  Mary was back to work on April 15 after a year long maternity leave.  She is enjoying her new school, Warman Elementary.  Morgan continues to be a partner for Mary.  He drops Luv off at the daycare on his way to classes and picks her up.  Bug is adapting well to daycare.  One little girl at daycare can't pronounce Luvisa.  She calls Luv "Pizza".  Luv is walking now and learning a few words.  Of course, her first word was "Grandpa".  Haley and Dustin are doing well.  They hosted a lovely brunch yesterday.  Haley is leaving tomorrow to Las Vegas for Easter Break with some friends.   Dustin's business continues to do well.  As you probably know, I take my gang on a trip every year.  The trip is my Christmas, Birthday, Valentines, Easter gift to them.  We are already booked for next February.  Destination: Kauai, Hawaii.  My gal and I are already booked for nine day trip to Nashville in October.  We even have our tickets to the Grand Ole Opry.  Yee haw!  Our summer plans include a trip to Red Deer to see my sister's clan in May.  We are camping in Cypress Hills in June.  Hopefully, we are going to Craven Jamboree in July and the Gateway Festival in July as well.  Of course, I will be going to the lake to spend time with my gang.  Throw in two summer weddings and there you have it.  And...my momma turns 91 on April 22.  She is healthy and happy.  Mom loves to hear my Luv Bug stories.  Mary, Bug, and I have made a couple trips to Tisdale and Mom has come to my place for a visit with Bug and Mary.  Mom has some dear friends in Tisdale who relay Luv pictures through Facebook.  I am truly blessed.
