I was just sort of sitting at my computer daydreaming when I realized it was Dec 1. Time for a new post.
Deanie and I, Heather, Holly and Ellie drove over to Calgary for the Award Ceremony for Tricia on Nov.22. It was fantastic. Afterwards we went over to Lou and Marie's for a small gathering of family and friends. Tricia was amazing that night, after what must have been an exhausting day she seemed to have enough energy for a very good visit. Much thanks to Lou and Marie for opening their home for the evening. We had very good weather up and back and were very happy we had made the trip.
Now we are busy getting ready for the Christmas season. Ho Ho Ho.
Have a great day
Loved

๐No wonder you're laughing, Ed! What a joy it must have been for you to share the launching of the Tricia Antonini Award on November 22๐ and to spend time with family and friends afterwards.๐ก The good weather on the road trip from Regina to Calgary and back again is also cause for celebration.⛄ Talk about having an abundance of 'more moments' to savour!๐
๐Thanks for getting December off to such a happy start on Ed's Edition. ๐ Ho Ho Ho!

๐HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHRISTINE!๐
๐Our Book of Days calls a twenty-fifth birthday a SILVER celebration.๐ It is considered a special occasion when a person reaches the quarter-century mark in any arena of life๐ถ. In particular, you deserve congratulations for all you have already accomplished in getting to this milestone.๐ฉ
Saturday is always a good day for party.๐ Here in St. Andrews, the town has saved its November 30th feast day celebrations for tonight.๐ There will be a street dance, a bagpipe parade to the harbour, and a fireworks display along the stone pier that juts out into the North Sea.๐
๐We'll be there for some of the fun and will dedicate the fireworks to you on your birthday.๐ Here's to your sparkling presence and spontaneous generosity towards all who meet you along life's road.๐ข Cheers!๐ป
๐Warm wishes and lots of love,
Louise and David

๐๐HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEANIE!๐๐
๐Our greetings are being sent from Peachland where we have wakened to our first full day in Canada.๐ We arrived here last night after two days of travel from Scotland via London, England.✈
Of course, it's party time in our household, too, as Dave celebrates this shared birthday with you.๐จ๐๐ฉ Congratulations!๐
๐ May your Thursday celebration be special from beginning to end.๐ We are eager to join your wonderful family and good friends in wishing you many happy, healthy returns of this day.๐ Later today, (before we get hit by the inevitable jetlag⌛), we will turn those hopes into a warm toast to you at sixty-six๐ท๐ท. Cheers!

๐HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR DAVID!๐
๐Actually, it seems kind of silly for me to be posting birthday wishes to you on the blog๐ when you're sitting right beside me, working on your own computer.๐ป This greeting is really just a blog announcement that you are seventy-one today๐.
๐ถI know you like the fact that you get to share this birthday with your lovely sister-in-law, Deanie in Regina (five years behind you on life's road๐ ) and our Uncle Eric in Saskatoon (at milestone 93 today๐). Congratulations and cheers to all three of you.๐ท Hip, hip, hooray!๐
๐Love you lots,
Louise

Hi Loved,
Thanks for getting December off to such a good start. We are so happy that some of the family were able to be with Tricia and her family on such a momentous occasion. What a wonderful celebration of a remarkable young woman. We celebrate her and her many achievements.
Welcome to Canada, Lucy and David. We are always glad to have you home for part of the year. We hope you are settling in, getting over jet lag, and enjoying some of the joys of a Canadian winter! Ho, ho, ho!
Love, BJ
๐Thanks, BJ! We had a happy first day back in Canada๐ and a very good sleep last night๐. Winter is treating us kindly so far. Even at our elevation here on Pincushion Mountain, there a few traces of snow⛄. Ho, ho, ho, indeed!
Love, Lucy ๐

๐๐HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ALAN!๐ธ๐
We are lucky enough to be in Calgary to share this birthday with you๐. Of course, you'll have to put in a full day at work before you can light those 39 candles and make your birthday wish.๐๐ฎ

๐๐HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BOB!๐๐
Congratulations on your December 20th birthday.๐๐ We hope this day is a winning one for you from beginning to end.๐ (We're sure your customers would like that for themselves, too.๐ฏ)
Just last Friday, Dave had a conversation with you about how young and fit you look at 77๐จ. You have inspired him to aim for some of the same stamina and agility that he sees in you,⛳ (not to mention your trim line and good looks๐).
๐We are back in Peachland now and it seems like winter came right along with us.❄⛄ We will not venture far on this windy white Wednesday but that won't keep us from celebrating your special day in our own way.๐ฐ
We know your love for this part of British Columbia, so we'll dedicate our mountain-top view of Okanagan beauty to you at 77๐ and wish you many happy returns๐๐.
๐Warm greetings and lots of love,
Louise and David

Bob says,
Thanks Louise and Dave for all those kind words and birthday wishes.
I can picture that view!
God bless,
Bob
๐You are welcome, Bob.
God bless you, too.๐

๐Our greetings are being sent to you from Peachland on this bright Saturday morning.๐ The cold is not so hard to take when the snow sparkles in the sunlight as it is doing right now⛄. The beauty all around us puts us in mind of you and encourages us to celebrate YOU at 36๐ฉ. Congratulations!๐
Even in the midst of preparing for Christmas๐, Patrick and Carter are sure to make this day special for you๐. We join them in wishing you exactly the kind of day that suits you best๐. Here's to many happy returns, too๐ฎ. Cheers!๐ท๐ท

๐๐ธHAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARY ELLEN!๐๐
๐Here in Peachland, it is the kind of winter's day that calls for indoor activities and quiet moments of relaxation.๐ We are surrounded by a beauty and calm that set the scene for celebrating your birthday.⛄ Thoughts of you, still radiating glee at 73, add a warmth that draws this day as close to perfection as possible.๐
๐ด☕๐ฅWe also celebrate the delightful memories of our December 15 visit and lunch with you and Bob in Calgary. Thanks again for welcoming us with an enthusiasm and ease that is legendary among all who come to see you there.๐
Today we join your wonderful family and close friends in wishing you a bountiful birthday.๐๐๐๐๐ I'm especially lucky that you are my sister๐ง๐ง. Here's to many happy returns of this special day in your life.☕☕

Thanks for the good wishes and the kind words, Louise and David.
I spent my 73rd birthday staying inside and staying warm. We are in a deep freeze right now, but also "surrounded by a beauty and calm." It was one of those beautiful winter days, with a blue blue sky, bright sunshine, and everything covered in snow and looking like a Christmas card.
We enjoyed our visit with you both. We always do. How lucky we are to have the moments!
Wishing everyone good health and happiness in 2018, one day ay a time.
Love,
ME

๐You are most welcome, Mary Ellen.
๐Happy New Year to you, too.
๐Love you!
