reading and never misses seeing the Moose Jaw Air Show. He chums around with Frank whenever he's visiting in Strasbourg.

Dad & Evelyn went on an 1100 km trip in Oct. They spent 3 days and went to Big Muddy, Moosomin (where they stayed with the Obals), Weyburn & Midale. They visited a very interesting museum in Midale and plan to return to it.
They spent Evelyn's birthday at home and had Don, Trudy & family over for supper that day. They also had a big Thanksgiving meal at their place with various family members attending.
Christmas saw them cooking the big meal for 24 people, just a nice little crowd. They spent Dad's birthday at home this year.

Their family is as busy as ever. Sharon is still working at the cafe. She has drastically modified her diet to clear up a health problem and is feeling much better. (I have a hard time picturing Sharon without a cup of coffee in her hand)
Their van was in the shop for an engine job in the fall so they borrowed Dad's truck for awhile. Dylan has a
used snowmobile. I guess he wants equal opportunity to injure himself in the winter & in the summer. Amber's horse is being boarded for the winter with a lot of other horses so he won't be lonely. Larry has been hauling bales for him. Sharon bought a new fridge recently. The basement is finished for their new place and they can start building in the spring.

Danielle broke her hand in October. She just couldn't resist becoming a member of the "Cripple Cousins Club". I don't know if Don realizes it but he is the only person in his family who hasn't done himself an injury lately. If I were him I'd watch myself pretty closely.
Speaking of Danielle, she earned her Learner's License on Dec. 4th. Don & Trudy might as well kiss their vehicles goodbye because soon she will always be off in them.
Nicole is in her last year at Sunday School and is still heavily involved in Tae Kwon Do. She got a Silver in Patterns & a Gold in Sparring at recent championships. She earned her blue belt on Dec. 9. She plans to participate in a tournament in Winnipeg in the spring.
Justin is still involved in music. He composed a song for Halloween which impressed his teacher. He also joined the Cub Scouts, likes playing DOOM on the computer and intends to be Mr. Universe some day.
The family spent Christmas in Pangman as usual. Trudy didn't get to enjoy it as much as she'd like because she was sick. Her Dad has been having problems with his legs and has been walking with a cane.

Our household has become busier with Phil moving in last Nov. It made for a great Christmas having our whole family together for the first time in 13 years.
Jo-Anne's Crohn's disease has flared up again. That hasn't been much fun. On medication now and it seems to be settling down. I take the occasional day off work so sometimes I work a 6 day week and sometimes 5.
Roy is enjoying his new teaching job and finally has some spare time to relax. He received a guitar this Christmas and has been playing it a lot. He was off school for a couple of weeks over the holidays. Jo-Anne had a few days off as well, for a change.
