not all alone any more

We have had people coming and going for the past week. Will was here all week and helped Geoff get some things done around here, especially installing toilets. He went to Edmonton Friday night and brought Sam and Grace home on Sunday. Then he left for BC on Monday, driving the old truck which he and Geoff tuned up during the week too. Mom called last night and we were glad that Will and the truck made it safely that far.
Sam has got a job as a supervisor at the historic site for the summer; he starts on Thursday, although he was hoping he would have a bit more time between school and job. Grace is pt at the theatre, she'll have to find something additional I guess.
I have noticed that complaining about the weather hasn't helped us to move forward with spring. It is still cold and has snowed at least a little every day for a week. The crocuses and daffodils are trying to be brave but I wonder how much more they can take.
We go to Grande Prairie on Friday, Linda will drive here and then we will travel together. Looking forward to seeing the Longs and their house, plus all the changes in GP. Joanne is organizing a bit of a get together on Saturday night, so I hope a few of the old bunch are able to make it. May as well be travelling, doesn't look like there will be much garden planting until it warms up and dries out.
