Wouldn’t you know it, every penny went to the vet for the various pet problems. So much for holidays. Since then they got a new Sheltie, Booster. They spent Christmas morning at Jackie and Wayne’s and that evening with Craig’s family.
Niki has
been very busy working. She’s still with
Mac’s and enjoying it very much. She also
started a part-time job with Flash
Media. For her work experience class
she was working for a dentist on Rochdale. She
had thought about going into dentistry but there is
too much of it
that just makes her feel sick. She also
enjoys spending whatever spare time she has with her boyfriend, TC.
Frank has been working for Western Inventories for a number of months now and enjoys it very much. Fortunately, they seem to like him too. They do a lot of traveling in large company vans, which was quite entertaining through the winter with bad road conditions. He’s been involved in the van doing a “360” on the highway at 100 kph. Also slid into a gas pump bay in Manitoba. Probably the most fun was when trying to get a van out of the ditch in the snow when they all heard a noise and jumped into the ditch. They narrowly avoided being hit by a jack-knifed semi that time. He’s had some car trouble too. He came out from enjoying a movie at the theatre to find that someone had wiped out most of the front end of his car in the mall parking lot. They didn’t hang around to take the credit for it either.
Ger is
having trouble deciding what he wants to be when he
grows up so he’s been
dabbling in a number of things.
He was brought on board to help save a
dollar store
franchise in the neighborhood recently but he might have been the kiss
of death
instead because the lock went on the door early in April.
Good thing he’s multi-talented, he has since
found something else that he is currently in training for. Di continues
to travel a lot for her job. Besides
spending a lot of time in P.A., Melfort and Moose
Jaw, she flew
to Vancouver for
a couple of days in March and was at Winnipeg for
a day
too. She has a new store scheduled to
open in Regina in early summer and is always scouting for new
possibilities. The food services rep
recently left the company so she will be doing “double duty” for
awhile. Diane
& Gerry spent the weekend at the spa in Moose Jaw
at the end of March. Ida came
into Regina to stay with Frank and
Niki while they were gone. The only one
who really needs a sitter is the dog Bandit. He enjoys “quality time” with his Grandma.
This
picture was taken of Bandit at Christmas . I’d say that he was just brimming with the
spirit of Christmas .
