Our Week. . .

. . .in review.

Andrew has been quite busy with McDonalds this past week and even had to ride his bike to work from St. Jacobs one day. I was at work at the post office there and couldn't get him to work in time, so he rode with me and biked to Elmira (only about 4 miles or so). He was just glad he didn't have to ride from home (15 miles), so he didn't mind having to get out of bed at 6:30 to go with me to work.

I have been working 2 jobs this week; mornings at the post office, and afternoons at the youth centre. I am glad for both jobs, but when they come on the same day it gets pretty busy. The kids have been enjoying coming to the YC every day with me to play RockBand and Guitar Hero. I have mixed feelings about them playing these rock songs every day and some of the songs I won't let them play. We have been doing some fun day trips at the YC; including movies, swimming, water park, mini golf and we have an ongoing contest this summer which has other fun activities. Needless to say, the summer is going by very FAST. Not a whole lot of time for riding, but the bugs are TERRIBLE in the woods anyway.

Hannah and Leah did the neighbor's chores this week. He raises German Shepherds and had several pups there. They enjoyed playing with them and got paid well. Daniel and Julia did another neighbor's chores and had to collect chicken eggs every day. Sadly, one of the chickens died while we were doing the chores. I guess you don't call in the vet for a chicken!

Aunt Jane came for several days last weekend and we enjoyed having her. We also had Ken and Mardell Dietz, Ken and Bernice Schneider, and Walt and Betty Herrmann for supper one evening. This small house can be stretched to hold a good sized group when needed!

Jim has kept busy at work, but is ASKING if we can go horseback riding again sometime this weekend! We've got to find a better helmet for him though!
