The Circus Came to Town

We have had almost four inches of rain in the last four and a half days. The kids are getting very bored with being inside the house. I even let them watch two DVD's today - that is almost unheard of in our house. Last I checked they aren't predicting rain for tomorrow. My garden has been stagnant for a long time. My harvest expectations get lower every week.

The circus came to our house yesterday in the form of our children. They decided to put on a show for Gerald and I - tickets and all. We had a great time.

Tomorrow before lunch Gerald and I head to Grace Hospital in Winnipeg. His knee surgery is scheduled for 2:00 pm. If all goes well he should be leaving the hospital a few hours later. I told Gerald I was a little worried about him - this is his second surgery in two years. Last year he had his three hernias repaired.

I am starting to work on the school room. We are planning on starting school next Monday. The kids said they are excited to be in the next grade and see what's in their books but are not ready to start school. I told them we are starting whether they are ready or not. We have had 15 weeks of summer vacation - it is time to hit the books again. And, they are calling for rain several days next week so we will likely be inside the house anyway.

Trying to keep dry,
