Here are a some additional pix from Lorne's gracious gathering:

BUSH?

I was looking in THE BOOK (as it shall henceforth be known) and saw a xmas pic with a VERY wide tree in it. how odd. then, cleaning the bradt server, I found these pics (click this link) and recalled dad's mentioning of the year he went out in the rain, supposedly alone, and came back with a ridiculed tree. short, wide... a bush perhaps? is that the one?

A full house

Christmas Day
It was great having everyone come by our house this year. Even the Calgary Clan was in the house on Christmas and New Years Eve. Thanks to all of you who helped make it a whole new kind of best Holiday Season.
New Years Eve
We'll try to post a Gallery of the festivities on in a future post.

Remembering Dec. 31st, 2006

"Happy New Year", even if it's a few days late. 'Thought I'd put up a few of the better photos, as everyone looked just so darn nice and joyful. Even the grandchildren were such little angels.

Thank you, one and all, for your gracious gifts and just being all together like that.

Smiles and Chuckles...are good ANY time!

Click HERE to see the best-of from New Year's Eve Day with Lorne, Corinne and Simon (which is to say, I left out the pictures where people were unfixably AND unartistically blurred or didn't look their best, but I *had* to include the one with David on the computer next to Corinne)!

And, Dave, I made the thumbnails bigger, just for you!

Thanks for a wonderful visit with everyone, and happy new year!

Love,
Judy

Happy New Year!

Just wanted to be first to say happy new year. We were out in McKenzie Towne with the old neighbours, and celebrated as the ball fell in New York. That let us blow the noise makers, have a sip of champagne, and be home before 11:00 pm.
