Monday, January 08, 2024 ( 8:53 PM ) melrose We enjoyed a Beautiful Christmas with the entire family together. It was wonderful. A delicious traditional Christmas Dinner with Turkey and all the trimmings at our place on the 25th cooked by Susan and Ellen. On Boxing day we all went out to the Shuswap at Meadow Creek to Jim and Ellen's for another Delicious Dinner again cooked by Ellen and Susan.How wonderful to have daughter in laws that are excellent cooks and take over all cooking duties. Thank you, to both of you. Just some of the group went snowshoeing on the snowshoe trails that Jim and Ellen have cleared over summer and Fall. Only those who don't mind the cold went on the snowshoe journey.

It has been an extremely busy year ~ Bill and I have enjoyed good health ~ good weather ... and have kept busy doing many things we enjoy.... like grocery shopping ~ the essential ~ ... where we most often go together, I love to read, ~ something I never had time for as a child. I now knit ... (only dishcloths) do embroidery and decide what quilt to make next. We both Floor curl,twice a week (Tuesday, Friday). We often enjoy going on a 'day drive' to many local areas. We are fortunate to have such beautiful scenery in every direction. Some are provincial Parks within easy driving distance ...We just pack a lunch and go...We are also fortunate to have hiking trails ...some almost within walking distance of our house. We really should hike daily... but don't always get to it... we'll try, now that it is the New Year to boost us along. The first photo is the Bluff at Paul Lake a provincial Park near Kamloops~ the following 3 pictures are of the devastating wild fire destruction at Shuswap Lake.Many homes and summer cabins were destroyed in the fire.     |
