Hi all. Just a note to catch up.Well we have been busy doing canning. We werent going to do peaches this year but there was so many on the tree across the road where Art and Alberta lived just going to waste so we did 4 dozen.We no sooner got them done when we got the plums.We did 2 dozen of them.Then on monday we put pumpkin in the freezer.Everytime I finish with one thing I say I guess that is it . Then I find something elseto put up for winter.But this time I think it is only if I can find enough green tomato,s to do a batch of mincemeat.I have got only 3 jars on the shelf left.Glen went to the hospital mon. morning for thebone marrow test.It is supposed to tell the Dr. why his blood is so low.He might have to have bloodtransfusion,s.My Arthritis is bad I pain over alot of my body.I have an appointment next week Wed.at a theraphist.I am not going to be able to go down east this fall. I am in to much pain every day.I hope by getting help this winter by spring I will be able to go. The first treatment is $5o . Then $4o for the rest.Ihope I can be helped befor to many.I have been on pain pills sometimes 4 times aday every day since befor I went to Bridgette,s and then sometimes they dont work very good.Oh well we all have our own cross to bear.I am so thankful for my family and friends in my life who show the love for me.So till we talk again. Know that I Love You All.Have a good night. Your MOM,GRAM,GREAT GRAM GLEN GRAMPA, AND FRIEND. HUGS N KISSES XOXOXOXOXO

HI EVERY ONE Yes it is me finaly.We have been sort of busy since we returned home from our trip.Busy with not feeling the best. Glen came home with this Virtigo again.And me with my back and hip badly paining.This week we had to do things whether or not.Monday we put corn down in the freezer, Tuesday we canned pears,Today we bread. I think tomorrow we will put zuccini in the freezer for good zuccini loaves in the winter.We will can plums when they are ready. I asked Glen today if we should get abit more corn to put down it sure beats the stuff you get in the cans and is better for you.I have always enjoyed putting things together for winter and it is nice to have a variety.We dont have a place to keep vegies much past xmas so we do the best we can. We didnt put as much in the garden this summer so as not to waste.We have given alot of cucks away this year but not as many carrots and beets we used the space for other things.Well that is our life so far this weekNip and Ivy was down last week and brought some tomatoes ours are not rippening for canning. so we got them canned alsoThey brought a watermelon,a pepper and 2 cantelope to in exchange for peaches.We are getting peaches from accross the street at Arts nobody is living there now as Art and Roberta has gone to a home..The peaches are small but the price is right. There was nobody there to water and spray them this year.I better go for nowWe are having good hot weather yet.It was 45 cel. in the porch yesterday with the sun shining on it.This is the first year the heat has chased me inside to abit of air cond. So till we talk again Love TO ALL.Your Mom, Gram, Great Gram , Friend. Glen, Grampa.

Sooo Yesterday Sat.We went over to Russel,s and picked up a few Queen Ann cherries then went out and foundthe Parrot island place.They have so many parrots there and the colours are beautiful.They are parrots that people have had but dont want anymore.The people that runs the place will put a parrot in your home free with a cage if you want one then when you dont want it anymore you take it back to them.Well we dont want one.You are tied down with a pet and I dont want that.We got back home early so just layed around the rest of the day.Glen and I went to church this morning.I am feeling so much better now.It,s been 9 days now that Iv,e been feeling this good I hope it continues.Of coarse I am still taking pain pills morning and night.Myback is rather bad in the morning till the pills kick in then I am pretty good for the day.Glen isn,t as fotunite.If he feels ok in the morning we have a couple of places to go see. It is supposed to rain Tues. and Wed.There is a booklet the city puts out every yr.to tell you of 101 places to see in the OkanagonOf coarse there are some I dont want to go see.I guess thats about all the news around here.

Till we talk again love ya all so much. luv your Mom,Grand Mom, Great Grand Mom ,Friend.Have a good night .LOVE YOUALL

HI Everyone Bridgette I just read the e mail on the Flour sack I got something to add to it . There were summer under pants for girls and I remember my friend Dorothy;s her mother dyed them brown of all colors. lolGlen just said he had under shorts made from the same material. You know. I have seen all of those things that this lady said was made. Oh what a memory. They sure was useful. Now for some daily news . In the life of Marrians Quest. This week Mon. I vacumed out my little Lady:van: then Glen & I built a bed for mei in it.Tues.we drove up another mountain road and took in the sight,s of the Goat Cheese Place.We only tasted about 4 kinds of cheese. Glen was not impressed at all but I like it . I used to buy it at the store befor he came in the picture. It can be quite expensive but I would get some sometimes.They make ever so many kinds of cheeses& other things also. Even ice cream.I would of liked to taste it but Glen said it cost to much.Guess I should take Bruno up there . LOL Wed. we made bread did laundry picked peas and shelled them among little things.Thurs.I wased out my van and found sheets to fit the bed and just did little things.Today ;Fri.we went and found the info. place at Summerland And found out where theOld Train still runs from so they called for reservations for us for the 1:30 ride.WE had a little time s0 we shopped abitthen had lunch at McDonald;s.We proceeded on to the train station and found it. We had abit of a wait befor boarding.We were in the last open air car whitch was great because it was up in the 30s and the breeze felt good.My but some of those tracks is sooooo close to the edgeyou sucked your breath in thinking it would help hold it on the tracks.It was a good trip but not exactly what I thought it would be.On some runs they have robers riding out of the bushes and holding up the train you then give them your change they ride off . The change is turned over for the needy.Then they have other special runs whichcost considerable more. I think some are around 50$. Our run was $20 plus tax each seniors discount.All in all we have had a pretty good day but tireing so till we talk again Lots of LOVE to all Your Mom, Gram,Great Gram, Friend. Have a good night LUV YA

Hi everyone. How are you all today?I had quite a let down today.It turned out to be the best though.\after all.I had booked a cruise hopping I could take my 3 kids and go on a happy holiday together.Something they had to remember since I feel I am on borowed time now.Well Kathryn said she would have to say no and Davidwould think it over.Bridgette said she could go anytime. But I knew it coud be hard for David and Kathryn because of there work and thingsto get away.But when I called Bridgette and told her she said what she had found out what other people had said about these package trips,the condition of the ship and the hotels they had for you I got on the phone and canceled the trip,If I could,nt get the money back I would of went and suffered through it but thank the Lord they are to return the money on the visa.It is my prayer that we can get together and do something in the near future.I have learned to look farther into things at all angles and everyone concerned before I commit to anything. All I could see was a time spent holiday with my kids.I hope no one thinks bad of me for that.Glen has promised to take me to Alaska cruise this summer but we have had a cruise booked befor and had to cancel because of health. Hopefully this is the summer we can make it.Well that is all the news from here. Hope everyone is fine. Till we talk again have a good nightall .LOVE AND KISSES XOXOXOXOXOXOXO Mom, GRam, Great Gram, Grampa, Glen.

Good evening everyone.how are you all out there?We are still about the same here.Oh my we had the nicest sun shine day today.I was wondering if it would ever come out here again.It was still cold but it makes you feel better when you see the sun. You dont get much of it for a couple or three months here in the winter with the mountains. There is good and bad to everything right?I received some bad news today. Bridgette you remember Harvey mackie,sdaughter Miranda?If not Serenity and Cassandra would the 4 of them used to play togetherwhen your girls came up north to my house.Well her husband his parentsandsome more of the barch clan was out snow mobiling in the mountains and Kelly miranda,s husband was killed in an avalanche 28yrs. old.They have 2 little boy,s. I,m not sure just how old they are.What a tragedy.The community is having a tough time dealing with it.I got a letter from Jim today and he wrote to me about it.He sent me a picture of Leah I think she is about 3 now but I dond remember for sure.She still looks more like her Mom.I believe she must be in ballet because of the kind of dress she has on and the posses.Glen got a phone call today he has to have a driving test.He has to go get info on it next wk. How are you doing Kathryn? We havent talked for a long time.Was talking to David on the phone .Caught Anne when she was home yesterday for lunch break a few min. on the computer.I wish you and David would get a BLOG.You guys know what Im doing but I dont about you. Well i,d better go for this time.everyone have a good night. I love you all much,much much.Take care. Your Mom, Gram, Great Gram,Glen, Grampa

Good evening all.Hope everyone had a good day.Mine was sort of busy in a way.My back isnt all better yet so its not heavy house work i,m doing.But I made 100 % whole wheat bread today. Glen wanted white bread so the other day he made it all I did was put it in loaves and the pans. Now it is very good I must admit but it dont stay with you like the 100% whole wheat.And not as good for you right?I have a receipe for whole wheat bread but it calls for 2 cups of white flour soooo since I am always changeing the originals I made up my own receipe using ALL whole wheat flourand it is scrumtious.I made this up when I lived up at Gravenhurst Ont.Ive been using it ever since.I also worked on the xmas tree decorations Im making for my great grandkids.I have only a couple more to go now.I cant work on the x stitch as long at a time like I used to.David called today he is doing pretty fair in school. He will make it Im sure..I think I will go and relax now for awhile. Glen is still not feeling good.Every day now for a long time there is something else wrong.He is failing more and more.So till we talk again be happy , enjoy life know that I love you all very much.HUGS AND KISSES . Have a good night Mom, Gram, Great Gram,Grampa, Glen,To all

Hi everyone.I am feeling abit better. I hurt my back again last thurs packing graceries home.Been popping pain pills which I hate to do but the pain was so terrible.I just got over a bout with it from puting the xmas decorations up.Seems like I cant do anything any more.I will be happy when I can walk better and get some house work done. I made a pretty little box today with laced up corners. When I find out how to put pic,s on here I will show you some of the things I have learned to make. Yes I still luv to do crafts.I could spend all my time doing them.Glen is starting to feel abit better but is far from good yet.It is after 9: so I guess I,d better go for this time.Everyone have a good night . Take care Ilove you all HUGS AND KISSES.LOVE . YOUR MOM ,GRAM,GREAT GRAM, GRAMPA,& GLEN

Hi everyone this is me . Your Mom, Gram,Great Gram. How are you all doing? Good I hope. I am not to bad but Glen is not the greatest. He has a bad cough, sore throat,chest hurts, and sort of all over aches.Sounds like the flue to me. We both had our flue shots but that doesnt mean you wont get the flue for sure.I sure hope I dont get whatever he,s got.I had to go pick up my hearing aid at noon today. It had to be sent awayto be fixed . It looks like they made me a new one.I was told they just might do that it had a big hole in it somehow.Well it is working now. I used my old one while I was without this one.I went to the craft shop this afternoon and got some more stuff and more stuff.There sure is some beautiful things on dissplay in there.I wish I could remember so I could do them all.Havent copied any yet , still doing my own design,s.I am anxious to get going on valentinesbut need a good stamp.Got sort of plain one today but a rubber one I dont care for yhem ,you cant see where you are putting them as well.Bridgette I seen a very smart layout today she was useing patterns sort of kidney shapes with different colors, she was just working on it when I went in and I didnt have time to wait and check it out.I hope to be going back in a few days I will ask if I can see it .It is to be demo,d. in a class.You know that Dalhia folding class I took, well I seen it today in black and white wow was it beautiful. Blake and white has not been my colors but I think I am changing my mind after seeing those.I must get a good light for in the sun room because I cant see to do my crafts and Glen cant see to do his puzzlesfrom mid afternoon on.By the way Glen told me the other day I should get ins. on my van because sometimes we both need the car with all the appointments and whatever we need to go to sometimes they lap over.And he,s the one who wanted me to get rid of it but I bucked I just couldnt let it go. It would be like losing the last of my independence.Well I guess I,d better for this time. Till we talk again take care and have a good night. LOVE TO ALL from Mom ,Gram, Great Gram,,Glen, Grampa hugs and kisses

Hi everyone.I have just had my day made.I was talking to Bridgette on msn then to Kathryn.Well K asked me if I read the comments on my blog I hadn,t so I thought I would try it.

Good day to all.Well this is the 1st.Sunday of the new year. We didnt get to church today. Our ward starts at 9 o clock this yr.instead of 11.Wow it sure makes a difference like I didnt get up till 8.45.I should of been up and got my nitro patch on at 8.00.This isnt the 1st. morning i,ve done this but for a awhile now.You see it is latter when I go to bed because I,m to put the patch on at 8.00 in the morning and leave it on till 10.oo at night so it is much latter going to bed. About a wk. ago I was so tired I went to bed at 6.3o but that is very unusual, between 8.3o and 9.oo is the norm for me.I have to have the patch on longer now but it is helping with the disscomfort in my chest. Glen has just got up from his nap he seems to be better lately since we have got snow and he gets outside and moves abit more.Well better go for this time. Till we talk again luv to all have a good day. YOUR Mom Gram Great Gram& Glen

He said he didnt even know when they did the proceedure he was out.He asked when it was going to be done when they told him he had it already was he surprised.I had just got the phone and was going to call the hosp. to see if everythoing was ok when the phone rang and it was the hosp. telling me I could come get him.The Dr. said he couldnt find anything wrong anywhere. That is another relief.So I guess I can continue doing whatever now.Will go for this time again.Till we talk again .luv ya all . Mom, Gram Great Gram ,Glen, Grampa

Hey all.I thought I would sit and chat for a few minuteswhile the tatters are cooking.I had them ready for the stove before I took Glen to the hos. for his colon tests.I just got back now the tatters are cooking so here I am pecking away with 2 fingers so you know what I am up to.Glen hasnt been able to eat for a couple of days now so he is starved. He asked me if I would make cream of tatter soup and have it ready for him when he got home from the hosp today.So it is on the go or the stove lol.I dont know how long he will be. I have had it done but there are some things I just as leave forget.Not so pleasant right?Well just checked the tatter stuff and they are done so ready to cream.Maybe I will go ahead and finish it and have some myself if I wait till Glen calls for me to come get him I might not have my lunch till the cows come home. You know what that means.Ya I guess I better do that I am getting a bit hungry 3or 4 grapes dont last long. I will go for now and finish the soup. Till we talk again LUV TO ALL HUGS & KISSES FROM YOUR MOM,GRAM,GREAT GRAM Talk soon

HAPPYNEW YEAR TO EVERYONE.I pray we all have much better health,phiscal ,mental and spiritual this year than ever before.I thank the Lord every day for another day.Hopefully He will spare me to see anotheryear and somehow we can spend 2009 Christmas together.I do so want and pray for this every year .This will be the one if we all work toward it by starting now. Right?We are getting more snow.I was just telling Glen today when it was snowing realy hard, I remember when Bridgette was a little girl she would be out in this playing all by herself and the other kids would be peeking through the curtains watching her. Remember Kathryn when Evonne was about 1 and a half, our 1st winter in Alberta , you , Bridgette and I was out toboganing down the hill at the end of the house? I laid on my belly and told you to lay Evonne on my back on the tobogan she was not very happy about it when we went scooting downthe hill. She balled and you hollered she sure dont take after our side of the family eh Mom. LOL now when we think back to then right?I had a happy life there most of the time. I remember going out by myself when Bridgette was at school and even after she left home and toboganing down the hill so fast going over the driveway then down and over the bottom trail then through in and aroundthe trees in the bush all while Dad was watching looking out the dinning room windowholding his breathe hopeing I wouldnt hit a tree.I remember when I wanted cross country ski,s didnt know how to use them but Dad got them for me I sure had fun trying to use them . There again I would go out by myself and try to learn going back and forth on the bottom trail while Dad watched from in the house.Well I guess that is enough reminissing for today but it sure does bring back good happy memories.I would sure like to try to do some of those things again before I get older. i KNOW YOU ARE LAUGHING...BUT I KNOW I CAN...Till we talk again have a good night.. Remember just how much I love you all...Your loving Mom, Gram, Great Gram.And Glen....HAPPY 2009
