No Snow for Over a Week

We have been enjoying very nice weather (except for some wind sometimes); it is great to drive on bare pavement.

We did our Thursday night class last Thursday, church on Sunday and Family Home Evening last night.Bob has been getting out more - doing a little shopping, home teaching & missionary meeting.

Joan dropped in on Thursday.

It has been very quiet around our house.

January Update

Bob is improving.  A week ago he went out for the first time since Christmas.  He went to church but was too uncomfortable to stay for Sunday School.  On Wednesday he drove downtown and came back quite sore, but he was driving again Friday and Saturday.  He had to go to the "Show and Shine".  Today he stayed for all of church.

My sister, Joan, came in for a visit on Wednesday.  

I went to Brooks with Sue-anne on Friday and watched Taylor's basketball game.  My brother, Donald,  came to the game so we could have a visit.

The snow was just about gone by Saturday and the streets were getting down to the pavement.  This morning we woke up to more snow and I had to shovel again today.

Otherwise it has been a very quiet couple of weeks.

Boxing Day

Edward, Jacqueline and family came for lunch on boxing day.  They went out to Taber in the afternoon and returned in the evening.  After super we did our Christmas puzzle.

 Today they all left to go to visit Jacqueline's family in Mountain View.

Christmas Breaks

All the grandchildren are on Christmas break.  We are having a break from routine.

On Monday evening Bob watched the Nativity Pageant at the church,  I didn't want to go out on the icy streets.

Tuesday we drove drove to Taber to spend Christmas with the Mosers.

The afternoon started with the "Clash of the Blades".  Two couples withdrew but the other three were very entertaining.  Grandad was disappointed that he couldn't find a partner so couldn't enter.  However, he did put on his skates for the hockey shootout and managed to fall and break two ribs.  He spent  two hours at emergency.

Today the temperature is warming up and the rink will not be in use for several days until the temperature drops again.

Thems the breaks.

The Winning Pair

Visitors in Lethbridge

Nathan, Tara and boys arrived on Friday evening.  Jeremy, Julie and family came on Saturday as did Sue-anne, Darryl and all.  Joan and Earl came on Saturday evening hoping to see the group, but they had all gone home.

Darn, I forgot to get a picture of Joan and Earl.

Earlier in the week we attended the Lethbridge Symphony's production of Les Mis.  The orchestra was wonderful and the whole production went well.  We did enjoy it.

We attended our first basketball game of the season on Friday afternoon.  We went out to Coaldale to watch Taylor and her team play against Okotoks.  It was a close game but Taber won.

O Christmas Tree

We have our Christmas Tree - not yet decorated.  The trees were pretty sparse at the lot where Bob purchased ours.  The lot owner expected to be out of trees by tonight.

Menorah on Top?

Last night we attended our Christmas Family Home evening - a dinner at Shirleys.
