Thursday 12 February—Thursday 26 March
Here we are back in Granville with what looks like a very full time of being with our Granville grandies and weekly visits to Silverdale to catch up with Vera. It has been very hot and also wet throughout the visit.
With Nyssa and Brad both being on afternoon/evening shifts we have been spending most afternoons in the house and staying until the two youngest head to bed. Both of us have been involved in assisting with high school assignments; that’s an experience. We have also helped out around the house as needed—sorting cupboards, gutter work, clearing can collection, getting the kids to different activities, etc. Reen was also busy with Charlize and Harry constructing 3D Puzzles, lots of fun. It all keeps us busy. We got to spend time with both Nyssa and Joel for their birthdays which was great; are they getting old or are we?
During this time on each Monday and Wednesday morning we have been assisting friends from GCBC pack up their home of 34 years to get ready to move into a retirement village. Reen has also been scanning photos for them.
It is always good to catch up with our friends from Church while we are in town and catch up on their news and activities. Our Friday afternoon/evenings each week are times of catching up with Richard & Heather; which we enjoy.
Dean has also managed to do some jobs around the 5R as needed. He and Richard worked hard one Tuesday to run cable under the 5R from the router to the Starlink dish which will be positioned on the back corner of the 5R roof. Dean also added in a new power point for connecting the dish to power. It sits really well on the roof and everything works. He also installed a 12V fan in the back corner of our bedroom which cools us really well.
Reen has been busy sorting out medical appointments, scans, referrals, tests, etc. Our future travels at the moment are fitting around doctor visits.
