We're working on getting into a routine again. With me basically at home for the semester, I hope to get some stuff cleaned-out, pared-down and organized. It would really be nice if I could manage to pull off a few repairs and upgrades around the ole' homestead too.

The priorities will be on "helping" the kids to get back on track with their schoolwork, better fulfilling Church responsibilities and helping Ron with our business.

I am enrolled in a first aid course for the week end, and will begin volunteering for St. John's Ambulance at the course conclusion. I have missed volunteering in the community since I have moved here, so this should be an easy way for me to contribute.

If your wondering about the photo. . .We stop at Dairy Queen for treats on occasion. On our way home from the island last week, we made just such a stop. As we were leaving, I ordered two "kids" ice cream cups for our dogs. This is the first time I remember anyone ever customizing the ice cream in this way. Yes, the dogs seemed to appreciate their treats just as much as they usually do.
