goodmorning I hope all is well with sylvia and her husband,glad you enjoyed your night out brenda good luck with the present wrapping I am somewhat disapointed this morning due to the weather my friends are unable to come for lunch yes we had more snow and they don't want to tackle the highway I don't blame them but would have loved to have seenthem all, ah well we can always celebrate xmas after the fact but I do always try to get their gifts to them in person before xmas if the weather changes maybe I will try to have a quick run down on monday we are in for another storm on friday so that depends on how much snow comes down great for the ski-ers though, the children finish school on friday so they will be heading up to the hills I am sure. Ian the youngest has recieved his test results he is now officially listed as gifted both lindy and andrew are meeting with the school board to see what can be offered to him , ie extra work in the classroom moving up to another grade in january or moving out of the area to a school for gifted children and that is about an hour away, lindy now that she is in the teaching proffesion would rather he stayed in the same school but perhaps moving up a grade, so we shall see what happens Ian remains unconcerned by all this just says he would like more work as he is bored and does not like being used as a teaching assistant as he puts it I would just like to learn more grandma!! well now the day stretches ahead of me so I will have to think of something positive to do to cheer myself up bye for now dorothy |

goodmorning it is cold but dry so that is a good thing last evening I was over at the family to have dinner and help to trim the tree, each year I don't think that they can go one better but the tree they chopped down on sunday is a belter about 6ft tal and bushy a scotch pine smells wonderful it is quite something the age of some of the ornaments. I had given them years ago a lot of my parents and some of mine and then lindy has some of her grand and great grandparents, plus ones made by the children over the years so It was a good evening, I have a favourite one that I put out each year it is a decorated soup can that andrew made his first year at school silly but special to me. the children had a good laugh as well as once again my former husband and I sent the same card to andrew and lindy we live miles apart but seem to have the nack of doing this every year he will be joining the family for christmas so there will be 12 at the table with lindy's mom and her sister and family. to-day I am taking a lady to the hospital for physio and if the weather holds the ladies will be up for lunch to-morrow I am really looking foreward to that, fred next time I cook a chicken I will try the insertion of oranges that sounded quite good bye for now dorothy |
