Another Week

Here it is Saturday again, with not much new. Hockey here today and Innisfail tomorrow.
T's Christmas party tonite. Still no snow.

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 !

Chocolate Day

It was the annual chocolate frensie at out house today. We had a good time and finished in record time in spite of the fact that we were missing most of the help that is usually with us. Theresa and Judith did much of the dipping, but Grace took the afternoon off work to help. We hsd to go to the store for more chocolate once.

We had a good trip to Edmonton on the weekend, having a good visit with the sisters (including Lisa).Went to see Al's new house, and did a bit of the needed work of carpet removal. The place looks a bit forelorn now, but you can clearly see the possibilities. I think that all of the places will be great when the planned work is complete.Grace had a SADD conference in Edm on the weekend, but managed to get away for a bit to go to an Oilers game with Tim. The oil lost, but they both enjoyed the game anyway. G had a game in Warburg on Sun, so we stopped there on the way home- she found her own way to the game.
It snowed over the weekend, and it looks as if winter is here to stay (yuck) It is not cold, but the snow makes it seem colder than it is.
Not much else new here.
