Born in the USA

James is in school all day now that he is in grade one but Eli attends kindergarten mornings only so I am able to fetch him from school and have him spend Tuesday afternoons with us. Since we have had a bit of sunshine lately bouncing on the trampoline is the activity of choice.

Golfing

JR is making the most of the few sunny days we are now experiencing. He is golfing at his Country Hills Club almost daily, determined to play thirty games there before the snow flies.

Mio's New Hat

Mio has been receiving the cutest outfits from family and friends who are excited about the arrival of a little girl in our family.Her closet is full of darling things, this hat being one of them.

Sunny Day Hike

Lorisa was able to join the CWC hikers on the one sunny day we had in a 3-4 week period for a hike I led in the Sheep River area. We had a great day, culminating with a stop at the Black Diamond bakery for coffee and treats.

My "Close" Friends

The ladies on Edgehill Close meet once a month for lunch and conversation. This is the group attending our most recent luncheon at a local Chinese restaurant.

Anna

Sadly, Anna passed away on September 02 at the age of 93.We will miss our ambitious, energetic, organized matriarch who dedicated her talents to teaching the children in her life and kept us all together, enjoying her beloved Emma Lake.

Family

We were very privileged to have the entire McDonald family and most of the Hakl family together at the Lakehouse for a few very special days at the end of August.We were delighted to become acquainted with Ellis and Mio who have arrived since the last time we were together and to share time with all the others.
