I have come back here to view my last post many times in the past few months and still have a hard time with the fact that Mark is gone and just where we really go from here. It has been 5 months today since Marks accident on January 2^nd and it has only seemed to get easier a little tiny itty bitty bit at a time. I have gotten to the point of having maybe a couple days in a row that I feel like things are starting to get easier only to feel like I just have been hit by a Mack truck and the next few days are CRAP!!! Time will heal I’m sure but the scars are and will be permanent. I’m told this is all normal but I sometimes have to wonder what the blazes is “normal” about losing a son, it hurts like nothing else has ever hurt before!!!!

I have tried to work on my layout and some small progress has been made but not a lot….. or at least I don’t think it has. Sometime I’ll post an update at some point but I just haven’t felt like it. My passion for the hobby just isn’t there right now but I have some good friends that keep me involved one way or another in the hobby.

I just thought I would let you all know I’m still here and haven’t given up but I haven’t got the drive to push myself into getting a whole lot done yet either.

I had an opportunity to pick up a jewelers work bench for my shop. What a bonus for me!!!!! No more sore back due to being hunched over while working on projects.

Well there has been no real accomplishment in the last little while on the room. However I did get some Ballasting done on my UMG modules for the Show in Truro NS on October 18th. I finally have the hallway leading to my train room ready for primer but sanding and probably touch ups are still needed in the room itself.

As you may know Football is taking up a lot of my time right now. My son is playing for The Moncton Football Association in the Bantam league. This past weekend his team won the “Cities” Championship. Now this coming weekend we are in Saint John to play their Champions then off to Fredericton the Following weekend if they beat Saint John. If they win both of those games then it’s off to Nova Scotia to play for the Maritime Championship. I’ll keep you updated.
