#1157 Vol.26 - Five Different Notes - June 30, 2026

Dear Friends,

As described last week, my sister Elsie's desk suite went off to my niece, Jalise, last Sunday morning. That was after I'd been praying about that daily for 13 months. Praise the LORD!

Now my goal has been to bring up the 8 foot desk of my own which has been waiting in the basement for these 18 years since I moved here in 2007. I managed to bring up the drawers I'd emptied. When an older man dropped in, he helped me to bring up a few of the heavier parts. But he got tuckered out, so there are still a few pieces to be brought up to make my desk complete.

(I sincerely hope it will not take another 13 months!)

Back to my sister Erma's plans to move here. I've been to several apartments to check them out for her, and she had now decided on the last one, on the second floor of the King Edward building. It is on 25th Street, just before the Kinsmen Park which has a merry-go- round, swings, a small train, which (when it has an engineer- on holidays, - it will take young kids and their parents on a looping railway around the whole park.)

I imagine that will be the case tomorrow, on July 1st - - Canada Day. But Erma is hoping to be here by the end of July.

Question: I'm looking for a new email sending service - hopefully a free one in the hopes that my emails will reach all my subscribers. Any suggestions?

Lastly: If you have missed any RoseBouquet issues over the last few months, you can still catch up as I put them up permanently on my website. Just click on this link to the index page -
my-place/2026-my-place-index.shtml

There you click on the titles of the issues that look unfamiliar to you. Read that one, then come back to the index page for the next issue.

I do plan to send out a 'printed-on-paper' issue as soon as I can figure out how to transfer photos from my iPhone to my desktop.

As Gr'ma would say, "I'm old as a cow and still always learning!!"

Blessings & Prayers,
Ruth Friesen!
