Congratulations to Seth and Bailee Eaton on their wedding day. They were married on August 5 in Medicine Hat. It was a beautiful wedding on a beautiful day!
I'm glad to hear that Shaune Switzer is feeling better. He was in the Oyen hospital for a night, then went to Medicine Hat for a CT scan. Showed an abscess behind his tonsil. Then, once back in Oyen, they flew into Calgary (to save the ambulance for the Oyen area, and the flight was coming back to Calgary from the Hat). It was an amazing, smooth ride.
Last night, the ENT(ear/nose/throat specialist) tried to extract pockets of infection from the top of his throat. Quite difficult, but Shaune was a champ! He was admitted to Foothills for aggressive IV antibiotics. He got home from the hospital and right into the combine—the life of a farmer.
Marika, Trent, and family were to Kelowna. They left on August 17. Brandt's ball team won provincials AA U13 tier 1, and which means that they play in westerns, which is the top team from BC, AB, SK, and MAN. Games start Friday AM. The boys played one game and won. The tournament was cancelled due to the wildfires, so they headed home.
Trevor, Katie and Charlotte were home on August 12. On their way here, they found out that Fort Smith was evacuated due to fires. Jeremy, Ashley, Sawyer and Billie came home on the 13th for the night.
Trevor and Katie went to Lac la Biche to visit Katie's family. On Sunday, Trevor took Katie to Edmonton to fly to Inuvik to work at the hospital there. They are asking nurses from NWT that had been evacuated and could come to help at the hospital there. Trevor and Charlotte came back to the farm to help with the harvest as Marvin is unable to help at all this year. There was little to harvest. They do not know when they will be able to go back home at this time.
Congratulations to Brian and Heather on their 50th wedding anniversary and 70th birthday celebration. It was a great time, and so good to see so many people there. Great job on the pig roasting, Greg.
There were lots of kids at the Cereal Kids rodeo. Quinnlee and Maverick took part in it and had a great time.
Clark and Byrne Huston were to see Johnny Reed Concert at the Drumheller Badlands in the valley. After the concert, they went to Laura and Dwayne's for a farewell to Khiara, who is going to Nova Scotia to attend University. Have a great year, Khiara and I know you will do great there.
Clark and Byrne were to the Labor Day Classic football game in Calgary. They were very happy with the outcome of the game.
Jim and Georgine were to Sibbald on the long weekend to take yearlings to Lethbridge to auction.
Malissa and Ty Corbiell and Ty's parents, Brad and Tammy Corbiell were also home for the long weekend and loaded cattle to take to the auction in Lethbridge.
