This picture was taken yesterday morning (April 16th). At 8:00 am the phone rang; it was Ian "had we had breakfast yet?" No we hadn't so he asked us to wait and he would be here in about and hour and a half.
He had taken the Greyhound bus from Calgary to Saskatoon to purchase a truck he had seen advertised. An acquaintance had checked the vehicle out for him once Ian had a good report he agreed to purchase the truck. So here he was in Saskatoon just over an hour away from us.
I was so excited. Our children do not visit very often and I miss them all so very much. To have one of them, out of the blue, tell us they will be at the house within the two hours was wonderful.
Once here we headed out to Smitty's for breakfast and had a great time visiting. Discussing his work and how happy we are living here in Prince Albert. The shame was he could not stay long as he was on duty the next day. Once we were back at our house he took a short nap and then had a shower. Richard and Ian took a quick spin in the new vehicle going to NAPA for an air filter and Richard needed a replacement for the sledge hammer he had purchase from Canadian Tire just the other day, the handle had split on him. So they took Ian's truck and ran their errands.
It was sad that he could only stay for a short time, but I would take just a short quick visit like that than the years of not seeing any of our children.
This is one happy Mum still basking in the visit from her son.
