Denny lost her husband (and our good friend) Neil last year.
She sold her house this fall and has moved to Camrose.
We will miss visiting her on her Island in the summer - but hope to
still see her often.

Our
good friends Neal and Sandy lost their faithful dog Max this year after
13 years. Reggie is the new member of their family.
He is a
husky pup - very active, very smart and into lots of mischief!
He is growing fast, and learning to "Protect the Farm"
|
 |
Our good friend Bob retired and moved to Camrose with his new dog Tony.
Tony is a spoiled dog who get's four or five walks a day!
We are looking forward to going to Mexico with Bob in January.

| Weddings.... |
|
Louise's niece Amy announced her engagment to Kyle last March.
They will be getting married in Kicking Horse next June |
Our friends Chris and Arlene
also had some big news this summer. We were invited to a
barbeque to celebarate the marriage of Chris and Arlene's son "little
Chris" in Edmonton. It was a bit of a rainy
day, but Chris was prepared with tarps and gazebo's so the
weather
didn't matter. It was great to see everyone again.
Chris's daughter Carrie-Ann also got married this summer, to Jonathan,
and was at the
BB'Q as well.
We wish "little Chris" and his wife Samantha; and Carrie-Ann and her
husband Jonathan, all the best, and very happy lives
together.

| Rotary
Friendship Exchange from England |
This summer,
the Wetaskiwin and Camrose Rotary Clubs helped to host a
Rotary Friendship Exchange from England.
5 Couples and two single ladies arrived from England in August
and stayed in our area for
the first few days before moving on to Grande Prairie, Yellowknife,
Jasper and Edmonton.
Louise and I hosted one couple, Chris and Lesley, from Hope Valley
England
while
our nextdoor neighbours Ron and Viv hosted another couple Ian and Chris
from the same area. On the last evening of their stay with us
we jointly hosted a barbeque
for all of the exchange couples, their host families, as well as the
members of the two Rotary Clubs.
I think everyone had a lot
of fun, and of course, Ron and I had to take them all for rides in our
toys.... |

Alberta Breakfast at Ron and Viv's |
| It is always
amazing what close friendships can develop in just a couple of days.
We look forward to corresponding - and maybe even visiting
with our new friends in the future. |
