I have been blogging for about a year now, if you have been reading, so I figure the annual Christmas letter can be more of a greeting than a missive. So, greetings and good wishes all over the globe to all the wonderful people that we count as well-loved family and friends. You know we’ve been travelling a lot and enjoying
new and
familiar places and you know we’ve been
working around the house and
community, and that I've
stopped painting. Paul, Sue, and kids in Halifax have had lots of changes this year with the expansion of
Over the Edge and next year looks equally busy. They’ve just signed their first event in Alaska so they have the USA pretty well covered. Mark and Melynda are well and happy even though the
restaurant business has been hit quite hard with the HST and our new even-tougher alcohol and driving laws. Melynda is studying holistic medicine and working part time so they are both busy. The Victoria family has expanded with two Betsys now in residence; sister repatriated from the hinterland and young Brazilian cousin attending UVic. The other young Brazilian (as opposed to the old one whose name I better not mention with that introduction!) is moving to Vancouver to work for PWC, so family numbers are fluid. Twelve months later
my hair has mostly grown back but I no longer assume that is a permanent situation and I don’t love my new gray look but I’m a lot less fussy about colour than I used to be. Purple would be fine as long as it’s there!
We've had
highlights and
fun, and some
laughs at our selves, and I hold my breath hanging on to our continued good fortune.

Blogs are a lovely way to keep in touch - thanks for writing it! I'm looking forward to seeing Phyllis Diller in person next week. Love to you both!
