from Mom

Good morning family. Things are pretty quiet here, right now. Did you get your computer, Samantha? I hope you will enjoy it. I spent the day with Donna on her birthday, we had turkey and all the trimmings. Doug came up and had supper with us. I went to Prince Albert instead of coming straight home on the following day and had a great visit with my sisters Jean and Bell. On Saturday I took your Uncle Stan, his shredder and his sander that he had loaned me, we went for a very long lunch at Peter D's.He has been keeping himself very busy with the lillies and he has joined the bird watchers. He is looking so well. He has been invited to the unveiling of an airplane called the Halifax, it was an important plane during the second world war. This takes place around Toronto, I can't remember exactly where. He will spend time with Debbie and Richard in Ottawa. Doug has been on a week of holidays, this is his last day. he has been sick with a very bad cold. so has not done much . I miss Carter, but he phones me a lot and he is just starting to respond to my talking to him. I hope to get to see you guys when I have a few days off and do not have to turn around and drive back for work. I am going to Calgary to see Jim, Liz and kids, on Saturday and will be back the following tuesday. I am off to the dentist tomorrow and getting my hair colored on Wednesday, I work on Friday. I will have to come up with some thing to do on Thurday. Sorry to hear you are on strike, Ramona. Does Brittany have a phone(land line) yet? Please send us her address and the phone number okay How are things going for your marathon Mike? Love you all Mom
