I have not done a post for some time now. Not because I have nothing to say. I always have something to say. Lol lol But somehow time has just slipped away from me.

The end of June as the kids were all finishing a long rough school year Jamie and I decided to take each grandchild for a couple days and spend some alone time with them. We were so excited to do so. It started with Hannah. It was very hot then so we took her to Jasper for a day and did some shopping had a really nice lunch on a rooftop then headed back home to Edson. She is growing up so fast. We loved having her. Then that’s where it stopped.😢 One thing after another the whole summer is gone and nobody else came to spend time with us. Maybe we can have some time with them through the year. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

Our oldest grandson graduated this year, a Covid graduation which is so not nice. These poor kids get ripped off. We are so proud of Zack and wish him so much happiness out in the real world. ❤️

July was a hot month and the first week with almost plus 40 temperatures our air conditioner didn’t work in the “New” trailer. Oh my gawd we almost melted. A trailer is like living in a tin can with both ends closed and a torch blowing on it. Of course it happened on the long weekend and we couldn’t get a service man until after the long weekend. It turned out to be just a glitch in the thermostat. But we had a rough few days.

The end of July we had something really BAD happen. Actually probably my worst nightmare. It has been really hard for me to even talk about. I have had many nightmare since and will probably have nightmares for months to come. But I want the truth to be told and for it to come from me. Jamie and I went home to Edmonton for the long weekend with the intentions for him to drive Mac’s Harley Davidson motor bike back to Edson. I was of course very hesitant about the idea and voiced my opinion to everyone who would listen. Including Jamie. I got a lot of oh my gawd he is a grown man let him ride it will be good for him. We went to Mac’s house on August 2nd to pick the bike up. (The day before Jamie’s 63rd birthday. ) Jamie put a new battery into it. And we were off. As we drove out of the subdivision me following him with our truck. I whispered a prayer (for real) and asked BJ to keep an eye on his Dad for me and let him be safe. The whole drive I was counting down the kilometres to home (Edson). About 45 minutes from home it started to rain, I was worried when the rain started. Jamie got in behind a truck pulling a holiday trailer and slowed right down to about 80. I was still following. A big semi pulled out around me another truck and trailer behind me and just floored it. The truck sucked Jamie over then Jamie pulled back and hit a Wrong Way sign it flew up over him towards me in the truck. Jamie hit the ditch he and the bike rolled down about a 10 foot deep ditch. I stopped my truck in horror on the highway and ran to him. A young man in a truck following the semi saw the accident and stopped to help. He later told us that he just knew the bike driver was dead. Jamie luckily survived, a MIRACLE, with no real injuries. A few scrapes and bruises. We did go to the hospital to get him checked out. The bike was totalled. The police said they could not believe there was not a fatality. I know “BJ” was Jamie’s guardian Angel that day. 😇❤️. Now the last thing I will say about this is that Jamie and I are putting this whole nightmare behind us. We don’t want any I told you so’s? or what were you thinking? How could you be so stupid ? Believe me we have beat ourselves up enough. Let’s just say Jamie’s bike career is OVER. And so is Mac’s I hope!!! forever. I know this is a second, third, fourth, fifth chance for us to have a good life together. So we better make it count. ❤️ How many more can we have ?

Jamie and I are still so happy in our fifth wheel. We have not ever regretted our decision to live this way. We have really come to love Edson. And even more than that have made some awesome friends who I know will be friends for life. We all get together every Saturday night for a fire and some good food. And we have started golfing with them on Sundays. We were all in a company golf tournament last weekend and I kicked ass. Just sayin 😀

Not sure what the future has in store for us. For now we will take it a day at a time. I hope we get to stay in Edson for a while longer. This has come to feel like home.

My health is still good and I don’t take that for granted ever. BUT!!! I have had a really bad 3 full going on 4 weeks of a headache. That have turned into migraines two or three times a week. This has really got me down. It is so hard to function with headaches all the time. I am still getting Botox for migraines/headaches. But my doctor was away all this month. I finally go for my shots on Monday, I can’t wait. Because I get immediate relief and lasting relief. I also think that the stress of the accident has caused some of my headaches. I can’t help but relive it over and over. It is and was a nightmare I never want to have to go through again.

Today’s saying : Your whispered prayers are always answered. 🙏🏻

Saying two : The sweetest time of the day is when you pray. Because you are talking to the ones who love you most. 😇❤️
