![]() This picture is one that Chris took and more
beautiful
pictures can be found on his web-site: http://uhler.smugmug.com/ Sonya and Nick went to Cuba for 10
days for
their honeymoon. On their first full
day there they were starting to do some snorkeling when Sonya
inadvertently
stepped on a fish or a stingray of some sort. She
felt a great pain in her foot and saw blood. Naturally,
her first thought was,
"Shark!!" When they got her to the beach the life
guard told them to get to the doctor immediately. She
already had a black “ball” on her foot and black spreading up
her ankle to her leg. They gave her an
anti-venom injection, as well as pain killers and who knows what else. She still isn’t sure what she stepped on
because it was hard to be fully understood between their broken Spanish
and the
locals’ broken English. I expect her
broken Spanish wasn’t terribly coherent at the time either. While
there, they were chatting with a Canadian
who works in Cuba on a project. During
their conversation they found out that this guy lives in Fort Sask.,
coincidentally right across the street from Joy & Reg! JEANNE & FRED
BRANCH
Jeanne
& Fred have continued to be quite busy.
Jeanne spends a lot of time in the lottery booth and Fred
continues to
do a lot of handyman work for relatives and neighbors, including
monitoring Art’s
blood sugar on a daily basis. |
They
had some company at the end of June when Terry, Judy,
Daniel and Shelby came
for a visit in their motorhome. Jeanne
& Fred returned to Yellowknife with
them in the motorhome and had a great
visit there, flying home on July 19th. We
got a great picture here of Fred & Danny fishing together at
Yellowknife and they actually caught something! Jeanne
& Fred were in Bulyea for
the homecoming on the long August weekend as well
as going to Strasbourg
on the July 1st weekend for their
homecoming. Jeanne & Jackie will be
celebrating a full year of owning their lottery booth on Oct. 6th. Terry,
Judy, Danny and Shelby (the dog) had a great journey in their
motorhome in June
when they drove down to Saskatchewan for
a visit. They managed to visit all sorts
of family members there. Also, Judy’s
sister Ruby
drove up from
Ontario with her husband, Greg, to
visit with them in Regina. It really was
meeting each other half way
because Ruby & Greg drove 2410 kms, while Terry & Judy drove
2440
kms. They camped together just east of
Regina. Terry, Judy and Daniel took Jeanne & Fred back with them
for a
visit. Fred
helped them do some home renovations while he was there.
