Hello blog, I haven't written in a while. It was great to be in Calgary, and spend time with Catherine and Paul and wonderful AVA! I also helped Andrew move. When I got back though, things got bad. We went out to the parade and sailpast on Saturday night the 24th, not having heard from Alex all day which was a worry. We got a message from him later on that night admitting that he had got in trouble - car impounded for 30 days and a 90 day driving suspension. It's been a hard month for him and for us too. I am sorry for him but also frustrated that he hasn't got a job. I know we will get through this. Thank goodness for the rest of our family! Heather visited last night and today. She and Alex helped decorate the tree. It was fun.
