Christmas 07
Happy New Year to all -
We had a wonderful Christmas holiday with the PG Youngs. We felt we were treated royally & enjoyed every moment with them. Christmas Eve was special - started off with a wonderful supper - clam chowder (much better than mine) ! lovely program by the girls, carolling at friends’ homes, seeing the light display in a section of PG & watching the DVD ‘The Nativity’. Christmas morning - opening our presents etc. The Christmas dinner was superb. We are grateful we could go up to PG rather than have them come down!!
Lots of snow & the planes were entirely booked.
Came home in time to have the Schneiders visit en masse en route to the wedding of OJ’s niece. Jordan, Charla, & little Oliver stayed with us. We were so happy to see little Oliver tour the house, sweep the floor, dismantle the tree & be so charming!
On December 31 we will be alone , rest up, & contemplate the New Year.
Love to all

haste makes waste
hello to all my 'fans'
what is new at 174 oeming road?
grannie has done it again!! made herself into a dependant invalid.
rushing around as usual - grandpa drove me to get fitted for an orthotic for my left foot - it's supposed to help my back as i have to wait 6 months for my knee replacement & my back is getting the brunt of this ordeal.Anyway, i rush back from the car because my cane & my document folder have been left behind, I rush in at the first door (which happens to be the wrong door)& I trip over the door frame & find myself down on the floor head first. As a result I bleed profusely. A man at the reception desk runs to my aid with paper towels etc. Anyway I see that I need medical attention so we go see my doctor who, on examination sends me to the emergency at the U of A hospital.x-ray,ct scan follow - no major problem- ie - no broken bones. I get a cast for my right wrist & come home!I now have a swollen face (look like a badger)purple face, swollen nose (it may be broken)so now i am dependant on grandpa for many of my needs. I feel very blessed it was not worse.We are hosting the FHE Christmas social at our place Monday. The house is beautifully decorated - it is pot luck & grandpa says we will 'carry on'. He will have to make the clam chowder -under my supervision. Just thought you would like to know we are in control - except a bit of a trial. We do plan on flying to PG to be with the Youngs for a week.Hope all is well at your abodes
