After a very rainy Monday, it was nice to wake up to a bright sunny day on Tuesday. It may not be the temperatures that a person is waiting for out doors but the sun makes a difference on how a person feels. The rain stopped long enough for Ed Friesen and his crew to pick up all the stuff at the side of the road last Saturday for the annual spring cleanup. We are grateful to you for a job well done. I hope there weren't too many sore muscles.
Rosenfeld had some excitement last week when a semi took out the light signal pole at the railroad crossing on Highway #30. Traffic was rerouted for a few hours when a crane came to lift the semi out of the ditch. The signal light is under repair so be aware of the big sign set up at the junction of PR #332 and Highway #30 right in front of Rosenfeld. Slow down and check the railway crossing- the train is bigger that you are.
School calendar
Junior Kindergarten, which begins this week Wednesday, spells the beginning of school for a group of a dozen or so young children. It's a very exciting day for them, especially for one who will have grandma, Irene Klassen, as his bus driver. It also means that this school year is fast coming to an end.
another hint to the end of this school year is upcoming field trips. grades 1 & 2 will be traveling on May 7 and Grades 5 & 6 hit the road on May 22. I will try to get reports on their excursions as they happen.
Many people think of May long weekend as the beginning of summer and to celebrate it the students have no classes on Monday, May 19.
Progress report
Okay people, you got me into trouble. Dave never reads my column but he tells me that the readers of The Carillon know too much about him. I stand by my report; he is a good cook.
To help my standing, I received a perching stool which has adjustable legs. This makes working at the kitchen counter doable and I have started doing a bit of cooking. It's interesting to see how the menu changes; Dave is a meat lover and I can go for days on pasta of cheese quesadillas.
My walking is improving along with my balance. It no longer appears that I've been into the sauce every day, though an occasional glass of wine does make it onto the menu. I went for a CT on my back and it confirmed what I thought; I have a herniated disc in my lower back which will take time to heal. In the meantime, the physiotherapist has given me more exercises to strengthen my abs. Oh whoop-de-doo. I guess like so many other people, I'm waiting for warmer weather but in the meantime I've started a 1,000 piece puzzle. So what ever Mother Nature brings I'm content to take it easy and keep healing. God bless.
