We got home from Vegreville at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday and left again at 10:00 this morning after spending just 40 hours at home!

During the 24 hours that we were actually awake, we attended a missionary service at the church that brought back great memories of one of the Southeast Asian countries we’ve visited and watched the Bible study and Marriage Course videos that we missed last week.

We had coffee with a dear friend and responded to a few phone messages. We spent quite awhile on the phone with an H&R Block income tax preparer making sure that we’d be able to meet Revenue Canada’s April 30th deadline. We usually file our own income tax returns but since we’re still dealing with foreign income this year it’s a bit complicated and we’re leaving it in the hands of the experts.

I did three loads of laundry and repacked the suitcase, a somewhat difficult task at this time of year when the season seems to change from day to day. Would we need winter, spring or summer wear? I tried to pack a bit of each.

The one day that we were home was also the day the golf course opened. What a stroke of good luck! We toured the newly renovated clubhouse, bought our season’s memberships and played a round. I even managed to have my best first round ever!

We walked to the library and exchanged our books.

This morning we watered the plants, put the garbage out and left for Calgary. No, Melaina hasn’t had the baby yet but she’s reached the point where she could use our help so we’ll continue the wait here. She’s been in serious nesting mode the past couple of days, cleaning house from top to bottom. Surely baby must be coming soon!
