Nova Scotia – Day 3&4 – And the Drum Beat Carries on

An update: there is much to tell, but where to start?

With Jaymie it has been kind of a rollercoaster, yesterday she broke down and quit trying to be strong on our behalf. It was hard to watch, but it was good for her. She ended up taking a “mental health” day – a day off from school to gather herself. Today she went back and had her best day at school yet; she is starting to make some new friends.

My garage - but he trailer is empty!

Mary Ann is trying to wrap her around the reservation system of the campground and some of their past book keeping which is quite frustrating at times. Between expired passwords, computers freezing and expired merchant services, she has had her hands full – nothing goes quick in Nova Scotia.

First wall,
 Don't ask me how long that took

Yesterday, I finally completed my first project – emptied the trailer that Jaymie and I brought in October – this was a major thing for me, to finally accomplish something. It so easy to do a little here and little there and not get anything accomplished. Today I finally got started on doing some renovations in our basement; I built the first wall – I am so proud.

This morning we were invited for coffee at Emanuel Church (Sweis Ubels’ church). We got to meet some people from that church. It is good to get away from the busyness of home to meet people.  It so easy to dismiss mornings like this as unproductive, but in reality, investing time in people is probably the most productive use of our time. .

Freshley Fallng Snow

We are suppose to get a good dump of snow tonight, but then go up to +12 tomorrow.

Take care and good night, miss you all - HJK
