Hello to all. I think about writing this days before I get it done. So back to August.  We had Tony's and Marshal for pizza on the 1st. Sunday night we had Galen's over after church and we finally got to sit around the fire. We have been working on a fire pit for 2 years now and its finally usable. It isn't completely done but that's ok for now. The kids and I went to town one day for groceries. Then one night Kelly and I went on a date night!! We have only had 2 of those since Nigel was born and this one was much needed. I need the break once in a while. The kids and I went to an auction sale for a little bit with Kelly one day. Kelly had 5 fire calls in one week so he was busy there. We had Lee's over one Sunday evening and sat around the fire. On the 10th I started painting the bathroom. It was one of those things that needed doing since we moved in and finally I got it done. We went to folks that night for supper as the guys where almost ready to start silage. the next day I painted the second coat and we where in the field for supper because they where doing silage. The 12th was my turn to make supper. I made Dr Pepper spicy pulled pork. It is easy to make because I can do it in a crock pot. I mowed lawn and finished in the bathroom. That night a terrible thing hit our house. The FLU. Nigel got it first and was sick most of the night. The next few days are kinda a blur in my mind. This nasty flu that the kids got lasted 5 WHOLE DAYS. The first couple of days where the worst. They didn't keep anything down till after 5 days. Heidi got it Saturday at 7:30 in the morning and barfed every 30 minutes till we finally took both of them in to the ER at 10:30 that night. Elaine and Mom had brought supper and mom stayed and cleaned the house because it was such a wreck. They gave Heidi Gravol suppositories to try and stop the barfing. She also had ear infection. Nigel was ok they just said to keep giving him milk in small amounts. So Kelly spent the night on the floor beside Heidi who was on the couch. She finally quite barfing around 5 in the morning.( it had slowed up a lot) Nigel was completely better by Tuesday but Kelly spent most of the day at home because I was so tired. I did mange to wash all of the outside windows. Folks brought supper that night.  Heidi better by Thursday. Such  a wonderful feeling!!! The cleaned the house on Friday because it felt so gross. Saturday I ran to Beaverlodge in the morning for a few groceries because we where have company for supper. Mark and Trista came for supper to plan program. Sunday we went to Del's for dinner. Monday we went to town. I had not gotten groceries for 3 weeks. Tuesday I made salsa and shampooed the carpet because it felt so gross. Wednesday we went to Galen's for supper and the ran the shampooer back in the AM. On Thursday the kids and I went to a local park for supper because there was company out from MI. Kelly came later in the evening. Friday I cleaned and made supper and took it to Tony's. Saturday the 29th was Elaine's birthday so I had everyone over for cake and ice cream. We where gonna have her folks but they where on a trip. Sunday was just a lazy day at home. In the evening we went to Dawson for supper. We hadn't been there for a long time. Well that's all for this time. Can't wait to here from all of you. Till next time......
