My bunny, My bunny, Oh i love my bunny..........

2nd year had their last family social - an ICE CREAM social! :')
One special event for Shane was a presentation.....













.....by Cliff & Norm specifically, but from the 2nd year PTC crew generally, of a stack of wood......
























This stack of wook represents the love of wood and hate of throwing any good piece out because it may come in handy. :) Shane really enjoyed his gift and is now left with how to keep it. :)

Pics taken by Hemp on my behalf. Thank you Hemperly!!!

South African Update...

Thursday night, Markus (who we know from our time at Conestoga Bible Camp), came up to eat supper with us and to show us his pictures fron his time in S.A. this past semester. We had an AWESOME time seeing his pictures and hearing all his stories!

Thanks for coming up, Markus!! It was so much fun... even if we all were dead tired in the morning! Continue to walk with God, remembering He cares so much for you, even in the hard times.













Markus and his 3 huge albums! :)

Dan Biddeson

We had a great time visiting with a former student! Dan was in the area visiting relatives, so we had him in for lunch on Thursday. It was good to catch up and we may hook up for a quick visit when we take our trip to Thunder Bay in June/July.

Last Staff Ladies Meeting

today, us staff ladies, 1st & 2nd year, met for the last time as ladies for the year. we relaxed at 'coffee culture' in hanover, a very cool coffee place, and figured out the fall semester socials. the summers are too crazy to try to get together, so this has worked out great and we got our fall calendar all squared away! :)

thanks ladies for all of your hard work and the hours that you put into planning and making socials happen! i will miss working with you all and the fun that you each bring to the training staff. i appreciate each of you and the gifts God has engifted you with. may you contine to walk with God and work in unity. :)

Last week shane & i began out immunizations! joys i know! you all are jelous. :) here's shane getting his shot....














wednesday we had a specialist appt. in toronto to check on shane's swelling feet. we went down the night before to stay with fred & carol who graciously put us up for the night. :) he, dr. keystone rulled out a tropical disease and diagnosed him with vericos veins. this is a relief that it is not even something more along the lines of liver or heart problems....














on the way home we bought him support socks that will help his circulation and leg water retention.
