Week 2-- Thursday and Friday

On Thursday, I got to miss the action at home again, but that was because I was privileged to attend another momentous occasion. I was happy to be able to attend Graham's graduation from Med School. We are very proud of him and all he has accomplished in the last years, and we have no doubt he will do well in his chosen profession. In a couple of weeks he and Kristy and Norah will be moving to Chilliwack, BC to continue his training for the next 2 years. We will miss them but we are glad for this opportunity for him.
Receiving his diploma. DR. Graham Friesen. Sounds good--doesn't it?! CONGRATULATIONS GRAHAM!!!
After attending the ceremony, and having lunch out with Kristy and Graham and Graham's parents, I got to bring Norah home with me for a couple of days at Papa Kerry's and Gramma Jo's. After supper we went out to see what had happened on the house today and we got to walk out onto the house floor and see the view we will be able to enjoy from our porch and windows.

Most of the floor joists were on and they got started screwing down the floor. They finished putting on the membrane on the outside of the basement, and worked on putting in the drain tile around the foundation . Friday they had the day off, so this is where the house stands as of week 2. WOW!!!

Friday morning, Kerry and Erik went down to GF to pick up some supplies. After they got home from there, the thoughts turned to farming again. The weather was warm and sunny and drying and so they went out and checked fields, and then came home and got the seeder set up, loaded and calibrated for canola so that they can get back to seeding again----hopefully tomorrow.

I'm glad you got to be at G's graduation. What a neat thing to experience. From what Norah has told me, she had a fabulous time with you guys last weekend.
