Hello, everybody. Charity and I are settling into life back in Canada. For the most part, things have been going well. When we arrived last week, the lilac trees were in bloom. My folks' garden is surrounded by lilacs and the scent of lilacs could be detected all over the place. It was nice.

Charity and I have been searching for jobs lately. It's not easy right now. There doesn't seem to be much available for high school social studies teachers. I will keep trying, though. Something will come up, if not for me, then for Charity.

I got our car back the other day. Apparently, leaving it sitting for a year was very good for it. My dad tried to start it and white smoke started billowing out from under the hood. So, now, about five hundred dollars later, I have my car back and it seems to be working all right. Still, that was an expense I had not counted on so soon after coming home.

I hope everyone is doing all right and I hope that you keep reading. Let me know what's new in your lives. Take care and God bless.
