Geoff,Theresa and Grace (and Jovita)have just come home from an exiting weekend of hockey, visiting and shopping. Grace had a tournament in New Serapta (about 30 km east of Leduc) this weekend, with the first game being at 8:00 Friday evening. Theresa and I couldn't get away until after work, so Grace bummed a ride with Jovita,s family. Jovita then stayed with us. They had one game Saturday afternoon, which left the morning for a visit to West Edmonton Mall. Grace and Jo hasd a good shopping trip if the number of bags they packed into the car was any indication.The hockey results weren't as good, as they lost all 3 of their games, the last one this morning in a shootout after some one minute periods of 4 on 4, then 3 on 3, then 2 on 2 (a couple of those) It was a tough loss- they played with heart and with lots of second effort. It was probably the best game they have played. Hockey aside we had a good visit with J and supper out with Jude Al and Sam.We ate at the Lingnan, and all came away stuffed. Hockey aside, there is not too much new here. It was snowing in Edm, when we left, but we have still had none here. Theresa and I were able to get out for a walk around the trail after we got home- cool breese, but nice and sunny-gotta love Alberta sunshine !

As always nice to have the Ferrey's come and visit, along with my honorary niece (Jo). The snow came back today, (all of Sunday's was melted, by Sunday at noon) and I can hear the graters, on the road. Working from home today, waiting for the dishwasher guy to come. Had supper at George and Kay's on Sunday night, nothing new with them, except for the new furniture and paint. They have just decided what carpet to get, but not sure when the installation of that will take place.
Yes, it was another good weekend. Grace and Jovita were happy with all the shopping they got done Saturday before the game and Geoff and I even bought a few things. The tournament was exciting, even though the team lost all their games. They played well as a team, and the final game went into overtime then a shootout.
We finally have the hockey schedule until February, it doesn't look too bad, not much travelling before Christmas.
Thanks again, Jude, for your hospitality. It was good to see Sam and Al and to hear the progress of Al's house.
Another busy weekend for you Albertans - successful too - even not winning at hockey doesn't make it any less so, if they all played well and it was so close. and shopping at WEM is terrifying to me, but great for people who like shopping.
Had news of Bill - he was in CCU for 4 days, then went to Cals for some home nursing and pampering while they lined up his personal medical alert, home visits, etc. He's feeling much better and has started his exercises again - 4 days a week. Has 2 tests this week Defibbulator and heart function - this was from Brenda. Also talked to him and he sounds pretty good - misses Thelma a lot of course but is coping ok he said. Bob took him and Stan out for breakfast and he says Stan is still pretty shaky but behaving himself. Am feeling better about them both.
We have had a bit of sunshine here, not just valley cloud (not as good as Alberta tho'). R and I went to CT on Sat and couldn't find anything to buy - what a pair of losers!
Mamacita, you are cute.
Glad to hear the uncles are on the mend.
