Christmas Letter 2016

November 30, 2016

Greetings to all,

This past year has gone by much too fast! I can hardly believe it’s almost December. I hope everyone out there is happy and healthy.

I’m enjoying my car immensely, and have put about 23,000 kilometres on it already. Well... 60 km, five times a week adds up pretty quickly... and two trips down to Vancouver and back, which added about 1650. It is soooo nice to have a reliable car.

I also took out a loan at the bank and paid off my credit card debts, and now just need to pay off the loan – but as it is at a much lower interest rate, it won’t take too long to do that. (Oh... and I’ve discovered I like hot flashes!)

Sylvia is doing well – very well in fact. She has a new boyfriend. His name is Brian Baker and he is a truck driver. Very nice man, smart, and a good sense of humour. They will be getting married on January 7, 2017.  Cheeto, Sylvia’s cat, is quite taken with Brian.  He loves sitting on his lap.

Antoon is very busy in the community. He is on the executive of the Food Bank and the Chamber of Commerce, and he is active as a tutor for the local Literacy and Learning program. During the summer he works at the local Ice Cream Parlour, and occasionally works at Sam’s Pizza and Rib House, delivering pizza’s.

Wim still has his paper routes and is busy with several groups – the Senior’s, Crime Stoppers, and the Chamber of Commerce where he is on the executives, and several other groups as well.

Merina lives in Slocan with her daughter Liz and Liz’s husband, Sam. Liz is very into music and has recorded some. Check out her website - http://akefamusic.com – if you want to hear some of her work.

Robert and his wife, Loretta, still live in Vancouver.  Loretta’s parents are still with us and also live in Vancouver, so they will likely stay there as long as they are still around.

If any of you are on FaceBook - https://www.facebook.com/teragram.nebuoh is my page and you can find links to most of the rest of us under my ‘friends’ list in FaceBook. If you are on it, but aren’t on the list, send me a ‘friend’ request!

Lots of love to all, from all of us here in Canada.
