The Best Christmas Pagent Ever

I went to Gibsons to see the play Suzanne and the girls are in for 8 nights. It had 24 kids and was just fantastic. Suzanne had the lead and Hana was the lead for the kids.

Goodbye to James Canning and Laura

We attended a very nice service for Julie's Dad this morning. He was 86 and had been ailing for the past 6 months. This afternoon we said goodbye to our cousin Laura, a woman who was always filled with love and joy. Rosemary made a lap quilt for her when we heard she was ill in October and her family will give it to hospice in her honour.

Nikki and Bill Open House

One great advantage to staying north this winter is all the fun activities we usually miss. We thoroughly enjoyed the Open House at Nikki's and Bill's Sunday. Some of her grad class I knew from hockey and lacrosse days with the kids. I originally met Nikki at the garbage cans in the back lane in New West when the boys were babies and convinced them to move to Crescent Beach in 1963.

Family Dinner

Ron and I went back into Vancouver to Aunt Gwyn's and hosted the Christmas dinner for 32 people (6 were age 18 mons to 10) We had a fabulous time. We are the luckiest people because we all just love our family.

An Encore Career

Doesn't today's wordage crack you up? I applied and was accepted for a job -with James and Suzanne's company - JumpCharge Marketing, so this will be my 'encore career'. Here's Suze and I in Vancouver where I signed up my first client for the sms texting program.

Won the 99th Grey Cup

We had a great get together at Liz' for the game. It was very exciting and we had lots of fun.

A Very Sad Moment in Life.

We lost our very dear cousin Laura yesterday from Melonoma. She was a special gem in our lives, always filled with joy. As kids we played ping pong and had Easter egg hunts out in Haney. As adults, we enjoyed her, husband Dave and her 2 wonderful daughters, husbands and grandbabies. She will forever be remembered with love.
