Then shortly afternoon we packed up and headed off to the cabin for a quick get away with little girl, she once again made 3 new friends as soon as she got off the boat in the evening, she's always looking for someone to play with. Love that there are little girls close to her age for her to hang out with.
It is just so incredibly amazing how the fresh outside air, boat ride can just give one strength and oxygen that one's body is so looking for. It was such an absolutely beautiful evening, very calm, warm, sunny, who could ask for anything more, we did try our hand at fishing, i always gotta chuckle at little girl, she's fishing away and ooooh, oooh, i think i have one, na i think he got away, next thing ya know repeat, repeat, she did have her leech eaten off so hey, she must've had something. Did see a family on shore catch a beautiful walleye of 23" which is a must release, which they did, they did send it our way, well they tried, but i didn't care i didn't catch anything, it was just so relaxing to be out, on such a beautiful evening, just to get rejuvinated was wonderful. During the night i all of a sudden heard some rain drops, now if you know me, i find them very soothing, and they lul me to sleep. (Not the big drops with light flashes or booming, not so much my kind of thing) Now somtimes i actually wonder if i were born on a boat, na, i actually think i was, probably with a fishing rod in my hand too lol!! on a day with a gentle breeze with a gentle rain falling. Ah, my mother tells me, nope, oh well, i could just live on the water in a boat and get lulled to sleep by the gentle laps of water, ah... dreams.
Well this morning we were woken to a mix of sprinkling and rain, so we decided to bring in the boat, call it a day, well that called me for a day as well, how does one get tired, crawling into the truck while hubby drives boat onto trailer and then drive out when hooked up?? hm... i did have an idea that hit, but na, just would never do it, love my hubby way too much, but i had to laugh anyway at such a silly idea, what if i'd give er and hubby would go ker plunk into the water lol!! oh, ok, now that's not so funny, it only sounded funny temperarily lol!! Sometimes one's gotta get some type of laughter going, even if its that dry Friesen humor lol!! just to try and keep one's head about themselves, as things are going pretty tough, tough on the breathing end, tough on doing anything for that matter, so trying to stay positive is getting actually mighty difficult, my life is like a roller coaster by the minute, not by the day, one second tears next thing laughter,( ah you men who are reading will say, yep, that's women for ya, can't figure em' out lol!!) and we go on and on with this wonderful routine. trying to keep focus on the Lord and what he can do, not what i can't do.
I have been neglecting updating my prayer list this week with the busyness of everything but i hope you will continue to pray for those who truely need us. Please email me updates as i just can't get to calling everyone, it takes so much energy out of me now already talking so much on the phone.

this pic is taken of a cabin up at Lake of the Prairies, one weekend, my sis & hubby & hubby & i did a double date up there quite a few years ago, ah, one day i'd love to own a cabin like that, just plain, basic, but so cute, ah just like me lol!! ha! ha!! anyway, cabin is for rent and its called "Hank's Hide A Way."
Anyway, happenings this week: monday i will be supervisor to my crew who will with smiling faces put in my muchly reduced garden, hey its only 14 long rows instead of 22, really i did downsize. not sure everything will fit but we'll just make room. maybe a bit bigger lol!!
wednesday: head off to wpg. for my muchly awaited CT scan, now if i could only get results right away, that would be great, but na, no such luck, gotta wait till June 2. I don't have my calendar infront of me as what else is on the agenda next week, but i know i take Janae is to see Dr. Thess June 1, blood work June 3, think there's a massage in there somewhere, and if i need to go for another treatment for lymphoma i will need to book that in, so yep, for some reason life of busyness continues.
Hope you all had a safe, wonderful long weekend, diane
