Christmas Wishes

Bernadette — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 18:51:28 +0000

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas. By the sounds of it everyone is getting a white one this year – and then some.
Happy 2009. Everyone stay safe, healthy and happy.
I will be booking the hall for the family reunion early in the new year. So I hope everyone has marked the date on their calendars.

Gift Exchange

Hard to believe the gift exchange is only a few weeks away now. I for one am really looking forward to it. It’s always a good time. Kind of disappointing that Allison and Brad won’t be able to make it this year but it is too close to exams for them. Maybe next year.

Nothing much new here. Everyone is back to the routine of school and work and keeping busy. Christmas is right around the corner now so I guess the next few weeks will be filled with shopping and getting ready.

Looking forward to seeing everyone. Bye for now.

Bernadette. What a quiet day, I bet. Jason didn’t come home but we had Jeff & family, as well as Allan’s Mom on Monday.

They still don’t know what is wrong with Allan. Hearing is okay & no pressure. Nothing showed when they did testing at the vascular clinic so I guess more testing. I guess that is good but he wants to know what is wrong.

Hope everyone has a good weekend. John is working days (8am – 8pm) Sat, Sun,and Monday so it will be dinner for 3 this year. It was hard finding a small enough turkey. Enjoy the beautiful weather and lots of good food!

Hi All

Just thought I’d add another message. Not too much happening here. Allison and Brad are back to school and John and I are back to a quiet house. Enjoying the sunny weather – finally!

I do have a question (if there’s anyone out there to read it) Where is the paper newsletter? I thought it should have returned back to me long ago. Must be really old news by now.

Off for summer!

Congratulations Meghan.

I think everyone took off the summer. It wasn’t good around here. Rain! Rain! Rain! Allan is still cutting hay & trying to get it off! Oh well, maybe next year will be better.

Jeff is still as busy as ever & looking for another mechanic. Abbie is in SK 7 Ben wants to go for a ride on the tractors or 4 wheeler with Grandpa! I think Grandpa likes it as much as Ben. Jason’s work picked up again & he’s woring weekenda and holidays as well as regular. At least he managed two weeks this summer. Sure great to see Lora (Grade 1 ) & Jayden (3 this month).

Me! I’m still enjoying retirement!

Had a great time at Maureen & Wayne’s arty for Dave & Keri.

Dave and Keri’s Wedding

John and Bernadette — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 03:20:53 +0000

We really enjoyed our trip out east for Dave and Keri’s wedding. We went with Leona and Paul and had a road trip. We went down into the states and crossed through the Adirondacks, then through Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine to New Brunswick. We took a few scenic routes on our way to Hubbards Nova Scotia and found quite a few places to get ice cream cones, and saw a lot of rain.

The wedding was very nice, the weather was perfect on Saturday and Sunday. The Coolen’s have a very nice spot out there in Nova Scotia and they put on a great party.

On our way back home we took a trip around the Cabot Trail, saw some whales, moose, and eagle and smoking brakes. Our next stop was Hopewell Rocks in New Brunswick for a walk on the ocean floor of the Bay of Fundy. Then onto Quebec City to partake in the 400th anniversary. Then back home for a rest.

Had a great time and would like to thank Dave and Keri for inviting us, and the Coolen’s for their wonderful hospitality.

Hello all I have been trying to find some time to add a post about the Vacation to Florida some of us went on in May. A good time was had by all (weiler’s, Hanselman’s and Van Mierlo’s) We stayed in Daytona for a week and spent most of the time on the beach. I’ve added a couple of pictures for you all to enjoy. And we even got Dad to wear shorts! And found the best ice cream place ever right beside where we were staying and then ate may too much of it. Like all vacations it went by too fast, but soon Cory and I will be headed out east to the rock where we hope to go out whale watching. I hope everyone is having a good summer.
