St John Surprises

Tonight we had a change of command and awards ceremony at St. John Ambulance.  Elizabeth earned her 1 year stripe and was also promoted to acting Corporal in the Cadet division.  She was very shocked! I received my 3 year service stripe tonight and was also surprised.

Adam seems to be doing well in Moose Jaw, Dax is working a lot of overnight shifts, Kaili seems to be buried under piles of homework every evening, and Elizabeth is beyond busy with all of her music stuff.

I have gotten word that I will be working full-time in the meat department once the renovation is finished in December.

Our house has gone to the dogs lately!  We have two house guests staying with us for a week or two.  Tater Kramer is a Jack Russell Terrier and Apollo Troy is a 1 yr old Golden Retriever from next door.  The cats are unimpressed, but Isis and Aurora are happy to have the playmates.

The mornings are quite cool, but the afternoons are really NICE right now and the trees are beginning to change colors.  We will be having a very small Thanksgiving celebration here on Monday. . .
