Don
& Trudy
were very busy leading up to the Strasbourg Homecoming.
They spent a lot
more time in Strasbourg than they did at home for all the days of the
homecoming and enjoyed having all 3 of their kids with them. They
were
involved in a number of things there, including the fashion show.
Now
aren’t these a couple of snazzy outfits!
Danielle was
also home from Calgary
for
some vacation time during the Homecoming. We managed to
get in a couple of visits while around town
that weekend. Justin graduated from
high school and has been working for Lance in his computer store.
Since the last newsletter we have just been enjoying Roy’s renewed health. We get out and walk nearly every day for 2-4 kms. Roy is fully back into his work again and has been very busy. There doesn’t seem to be any lack of contracts for him and I guess we can call that “job security”.
He
tries to focus more on enjoying himself too so he isn’t “all work and
no play”
anymore. We had our grandson Alex here
for 3 days of the week in the summer. He
and Roy love to play some computer games together and
he fits in very
well with our lifestyle.
We
had a great day at a Heritage Village
out of town where Alex found out how they
used to cut wood in the “olden days”.
I
went with our friend Marge to
see Prairie
Oyster
perform at the Halifax Casino at the end of July. Roy
& Jo-Anne went out to Peggy’s Cove
on the long weekend in
August to play tourist. Had great fun
crawling around all over the rocks and eating delicious chowder at the
restaurant.
We
had Chris here
for a visit for 9 days later in August. We
had a wonderful time together, taking him
to many tourist spots, including a tour of the Cabot Trail
in Cape Breton. Just a few days after he
went back to Saskatoon,
we got in a plane and flew to Vancouver to attend Sonya & Nick’s
wedding. That was an absolutely lovely time. We
enjoyed meeting Nick's family and spending time getting to know them.
