Christmas at Echo Lake

 We drove to Calgary Airport on the 23rd and met Jeremy, Julie, Kennedy and Mickey at Genesis where we boarded a Jet and went to Kalispell.  Jeremy's truck was at the airport and we drove to Eco Lake.  The next evening Jackson arrived.  It was a great Christmas.

30 September 2019 - Still Snowing

The power was out for a couple of hours this morning.  Bob has worked on cleaning the driveway and sidewalks for a couple of hours and is still not finished.

A branch broke off our ornamental crab-apple tree in the front yard.

29 September 2019

A week ago yesterday was the first day of the fall season.  Just under three months until winter begins?  Power is out in parts of the city.  School buses will not be running tomorrow.  Roads are terrible.

Calgary Visit

Portland Temple

This morning we went to the Temple with Margaret, Tom, David, Reva, and Beth.  Later we had dinner at The Olive Garden.

Washington

After a long day yesterday including me being told by  the US immigration man that he could keep me out of the US because I don't have a US passport we arrived in Portland.  Margaret and Tom met us and we came on to Vancouver.  I was tired.

Today we drove around looking at the beautiful green scenery in Washington and Oregon.  The weather is great.

Joan and Earl - 50 Years

Last night we braved the cold, snow and wind and went to Stirling to celebrate Joan and Earl's 50th Anniversary.  Every one of their twelve children were there and many of the grandchildren and one great-grandchild.  Wendy and her new baby were released from the hospital at noon and were able to attend.  Donald and Diane came from Brooks.

Lights at the Japanese Garden

The New Year started out cold and snowy.  On the 5th we visited the Japanese Gardens to enjoy the lights.  It was starting to warm up a bit.

The weather gradually warmed up and by Tuesday the roads were clear.  Unfortunately on Wednesday it started to snow again and today it is near -30 degrees.

2017 is Over

Where did November and December go?

We spent a few days in Calgary with Edward's family (except for Erica) while Edward and Jacqueline were away.

Christmas Eve we went to Taber and attended church with Sue-anne's family and stayed until boxing day.

We worked on a puzzle, played games, opened presents, ate and enjoyed our holiday - even with the low temperatures and cold.

Boxing day we returned to Lethbridge and met Julie, Jeremy, Kennedy, Jackson and Mickey for breakfast before they went to Montana.

Later in the day Edward and family arrived and spent a couple of days with us.

Nathan's family came and spent the end of the year with us.

It was a good Christmas except for missing Darwin and family.
