Well, everyone is gone and it just sucks!! Heather and the kids left yesterday and boy was the house quiet after we got home from Church. We invited our Haitian friends that just moved to Calgary over for dinner so at least we had that to look forward to. The Dorilas family was in Haiti when we were there and they are just wonderful. Trufley (the dad) was a big help to us with maintaining the house, finding property and apartments to rent and basically just anything we needed him for he was willing to do. Yolette was the Relief Society President in our home ward and since she spoke English we could visit when we attended that ward (not that often). They had two adorable little kids, Joannie and Mackly and since moving to Canada five years ago have added Jonathan. The children are 9, 7 and 4, so they had fun with the toys and the trampoline when they were here. Trufley works for Colin Steele and Yolette will start to work for him as a bookkeeper in the fall. Yolette's sister who was my dear, dear friend and our Stake RS President in Haiti is also moving here with her husband and little girl. They will all live in Rockyview Ward, so it looks like a little Haitian contigent will be in our Stake. We just love these wonderful people so we are excited.
On Thursday Don and I are off to "Cago" to visit Julie and TJ. We will attend a Cubs game at Wrigley Field on Friday and then on Saturday we go to the PGA tournament at Medina. We're excited and I'll take lots of pictures since blogs with pictures are more exciting. D & J

You are suffering from PVB...but in your case in stands for Post Visitor Blues. I understand it completely. I still think Trufley Dorilas could be a character from Harry Potter. I love his name :-) The kids start school tomorrow so I'm off to clean out all there old clothes that don't fit anymore... love you!
I miss you momma! Thanks for everything. Pictures are lots of fun! Only a few days and you are off again so don't be too sad. Love you.
Can't wait for you to come to my house. I won't have to suffer from PVB until you leave on the 24th. I've been avoiding it all summer and boy will I be in for it when it all shakes down! I HATE IT TOO!
Janet! So nice to see you and Don on the blog wagon. You've had a busy summer with all your grandbabes - looks like you've had so much fun. Wish I could see you here in 'Cago. Love you lots and lots -
