Some Summer Happenings

How God works never ceases to amaze me. He can take the most horrible situations and molds them into his plan. And sometimes, most times, always, we do not deserve the blessings he gives us.

When the school closed and I came back to Canada I prayed that ONE good thing would come out of this whole very not-good situation. But he did so much more than that.

These past couple weeks have been awesome. I think that living so far from home and from my family has made me realize how much I have taken them for granted in the past. Being home with them has been just fantastic.

This past weekend I got to spend some time with Tina, Calla and Pieter at the Peterborough Zoo. Some might say that zoos are just for kids, but I say that that just isn't so. Everyone should make a trip to a zoo every once in a while! It was especially exciting to bring Calla to the zoo since it was her first time, and she LOVES animals. Watching her run back and forth trying to catch up to the otters swimming was hilarious. As well as her many attempts to make friends with every child we saw. I dare say she's got some of her mother in her!

Tina and Calla returned to Vancouver yesterday, so my routine has returned to normal. But not for long. This next little while is going to get crazy! With showers and parties and weddings GALORE. Should be fun!

Only 9 days until the annual girls cottage weekend!

Zoos are not just for kids. You have my permission to yell that at anyone who says otherwise. :-)
