October 19, 2021


 Our Thanksgiving celebration lasted the full week as Trevor, Tammie, Jadyn and Treyvn finally made it to Seattle on Tuesday as Rissa and her family left here the same day. Because they were late arriving, they stayed overnight at the Marriott, driving up on Wednesday. We so appreciate them making the effort to get here and not giving up on us. Tom left for the his Wednesday evening Temple service and we ate before taking the children to the Temple do baptisms. Max and Jack met them there and helped out with the baptizing and recording and Trevor helped with confirmations. We gave the children money to go to “Wendy’s” to get something to eat and Trevor, Tammie and I went to do sealings with Tom. Tammie had some family names she wanted done and David Bigler managed to get things cleared for her to complete the work she desired to perform. There was such a lovely spirit in the sealing room and I think we all felt it. Trevor’s family went to the North Shore after I made a visit to Roots with them. It was their day at their North Shore home and we met them there for Chinese food in the evening. The Hardy boys came over later to help Trevor give Tom a beautiful blessing. Trevor and Tammie went to a Coquitlam gym early Friday morning and then went to White Spot with the kids and Jack and came home to clean up our garage. All of our kids have been so good to us. Cindy and family came over to visit with the Walkers before they set out for Seattle. Brendon and the three oldest children arrived an hour and a half later just missing their cousins. Brendon left the children with us and he went to the Temple. They then went to a Hotel where they were staying with the rest of their ward youth and members. We did our Temple shift on Saturday and Brendon and the children did a baptism session as well as an activity before heading home. We have had a wonderful family filled week!

We have done some medical testing for Tom amid the children being here and after their leaving. We did a bone scan at the Abbotsford Hospital on Friday as Trevor’s family were leaving and today we were up early and off to Initio Clinic in Burnaby where Tom was finally able to received him PMSA pet scan. We took the burned disc, which recorded the test, directly to a courier to have it sent to Germany. Now we wait for the results. We stayed home and zoomed church on Sunday as we are trying to keep ourselves healthy for tests, treatments and travel if necessary. Our dear friend Wendy Jack has helped us speed up some of our tests and we so appreciate her efforts and the prayers and help of so many.

Our house cleaner “Tom” arrived today to do the parts of the roof  he missed cleaning the first time. Terry Gledstone, our upholstery fellow called today saying our kitchen chair fabric had arrived and could I get a chair over so they could cut out the fabric for all six chairs at once and have them sew before his seamstress leaves for month. I took it over after lunch. He is such a nice fellow and so kind.

Busy lives but blessed and today I have a radioactive husband. I love him so much!
