Week of the Chinook

The wind has been howling for several days and just about all of the snow has gone.  Even most of the ice on the road has disappeared.  It is plus fourteen today.  As all good things must end, we hear that the weather is changing and there will be snow on the week-end.

Bob walked around the lake today and took pictures of the ducks.

Cold, Cold, Cold and Snow

Here we are alone once more after the enjoyable company over the Christmas break.  The temperature has been well below freezing:  - 29 degrees C. this morning.  It was a good week to stay home.  However we did go out Thursday and inspect apartments.  Friday evening we took two sister missionaries to  The Keg for supper.

We had a visit from Sue-anne on Wednesday.

A New Year

Nathan, Tara and family went to Taber with us for New Years Day.  It was the last day that Courtney and Taylor would be home before returning to university.

Saturday we spent a relaxing day - a bit of shopping, knitting, reading, computers and even TV sports.

Today after church and dinner, Nathan and family returned to Calgary.

New Year's Eve

Nathan, Tara, Orson, Liam, Keaton, Lochlan and Matthias arrived about 4:00 p.m.  We had Chinese Food and played monopoly and scrabble.  The two oldest males retired early.  Tara and I and the boys stayed up to ring in 2016.

2015 wasn't the greatest year and hopefully 2016 will be better.

2015 did end wonderfully well.  We spent time with all our children and families during December.  What could be better?

December 26 - 28

After breakfast on boxing day, Bob and I drove home to Lethbridge.  It was a beautiful, sunny day, but very cold.

Edward and family were a couple of hours behind us.  Sue-anne and family arrived later.  After supper, there were games to play.

In the evening Jeremy and Edward's families and Bob and I attended the New West Theatre to see "All Spruced Up".

Sunday we attended church, ate, napped and visited.

Edward's family left today to go to Mountain View.

Christmas at Jeremy and Julie's Home

We left Lethbridge this morning to spend Christmas in Calgary with Jeremy and Julie and family.
