JR's 70th Birthday

Many family and friends gathered on Dec 01, 2012 to celebrate the event of JR's birth seventy years ago on this date. The surprise arrival of Lee Ann was a highlight. After dinner the five grandchildren present helped blow out the candles on Barbara's special carrot cake and JR enjoyed this and portions of at least four other dessert selections plus a healthy (?) portion of ice cream! Touching words were spoken by Lorisa, Lee Ann, Jim and read by Krystal for Lucinda. Entertainment was provided by Johnny and the grandchildren doing their interpretation of "Gengnam Style" dancing. A good time was had by all and as Lucinda says, we'll see each other again in 10 years for a celebration of his 80th birthday.

Entertaining November

iv dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
We have seen several interesting movies( Argo, Cloud Atlas, Skyfall, Midnight's Children) this month as well as attending a remarkable concert given my Leonard Cohen and an outstanding performance of Otello by Calgary Opera. Many of these entertainments have been preceded by dinners with friends so it has been a great month in this respect.

Italian Golf Tour

Our Italian golf tour was fantastic. We experienced glorious sunshine, great companions, splendid food and wine, interesting courses, wonderful tours of Rome, Pisa, Florence, Padua, and Venice and then spent a few relaxing days with Pat and Audrey visiting friends we have made in Civitanova, Porto San Gorgio,and Teramo. We ended the trip in Oxford aquainting ourselves with the school and play routines of Bryn and Ellis, sharing tea and chat with Lucinda and Kevin and celebrating Canadian Thanksgiving. iv dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
