Summer here soon.

Do not know how it is for all you folks, but it seems the older we get, the faster time goes.
Our time since the March blog has been marked by the regular 3 week appointments with the oncologist, followed by chemo the next day. Around 4-5 days after the treatment Jane has been feeling lousy for at least a couple of days. Those days  for Jane usually come with more pain and discomfort. When you ask how she is doing her answer is "I'll be okay". On March 30 I (Marinus) turned 66. That number seems to also increase at an ever faster pace. But who is counting right? At the end of April the last of the doelings were picked up, which completed the sale deal and left us with just some breeding bucks, 2 breeding bulls, cows, veal, calves and 3 light horses. At the beginning of May we were able to make the round to see all our children and grand children, who are all experiencing good health for the most part and all are busy with family, church, work and play.
At that time we celebrated 2 belated birthdays and one on the day, plus Gideon (Kevin & Christine's second son) did profession of his faith in Jesus. All highlights we were blessed to be part of.
May brought us in Grey county a nice mix of sun and rain with temperatures finally reaching seasonal levels. All our land is now in hay and it is growing well. Some in our area are already cutting for silage. Yesterday we were able to again travel states side, as there are, between the Sall and Marcel Noordermeer families, 3 birthdays in 3 days. Kelly (Benjamin) is entering the last 6 -7 weeks of her pregnancy and doctor said this morning that all appears well. PTL.
Marcel had an operation on his shoulder  yesterday and is recovering and looking at 6 weeks with an immobilized shoulder. Hoping to see the crew there tomorrow.
This last weekend was also marked by the passing of Kevin's cousin Lisa (from Hamilton Michigan) Struggled with cancer for almost 8 years. It has fallen on her husband Rob, to raise their 3 young daughters alone. .This hit Jane hard as Lisa had been an encouragement for her and we had met her as recent as last Christmas at a family dinner from the Sall's.
We are thankful for each and every day. All your continued interest in what is happening in our lives is most encouraging. The support of our church family in Owen Sound is amazing.
We continue to press in for a complete healing for Jane, but above all that Jesus may be honoured in and thru our lives.
