Here is a very special greeting from Tasha (Natasha) and Callum our great niece and nephew. They are Gawain and Becky's two children and Gawain is presently stationed in Australia with the S.B.S.--in the Marines! Fancy just going outside and having a beach for Christmas! Gawain says he misses the snow though!!

On with the blog!

This is part of our buffet on the 23rd Dec. It has become a tradition to have this buffet on that day with our family and friends! It is a great pot-luck supper and everyone contributes a dish. After supper we all wait for "Santa" to arrive and he hands out little presents to all. The kids especially love this part! (So do the adults and the cameras are flashing all over!)

HAPPY 36TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY!

Here, another year rolls around and yesterday was our 36th wedding anniversary!

Although this picture was taken a couple of years ago we haven't changed a lot! At least, I thinks so!

We went to the Riverview Lodge for supper--a tradition--as that was where we had our wedding reception.

the day we got married it was 27 below zero Fahrenheit--35 below C. We flew to Toronot and it was just zero F. and then the next day we flew to Barbados--our first visit to the tropics and it was 87 F !!!
We just got hooked on that gorgeous climate!

I was given away by Uncle Albin and Sally was my matron-of-honour. I will dig out the photo of the family which shows th boys in steps and stairs!

Sorry I haven't been blogging recently. I had been fighting off an infected finger nail and was on intra-
venous antibiotics 24 hrs. a day for 10 days. Now I have just finished the oral antibiotics but as my finger is still healing it is still hard to type!

I will do a catch ip blog shortly.

Guin and Allen are flying home for Christmas so it will be lovely to see them again!

Got to go now!
Love Mom, etc.

Melly with baby Ava are in Dryden for Christmas --down from Winnipeg and C.J. is home from university--yeah!

It is wonderful to have the whole famiy home!

P.S.Love again! xoxox
