Christmas Blessings

December has been a busy time for the Burgomasters.
Lots of extra activities in the parish. Glen has been
involved in two ecumenical Blue Christmas Services....
as well as a parish Advent Carol Service. All were
well attended. Of course weather has added a new
dimension to the 250 kilometre Sunday Circuit. It
seems that if there is going to be any adverse weather
it chooses Sunday morning to make its presence known.
The back entry is looking very spiffy....the white
doors are all installed. The powder room has an
entirely new updated look. We now have a reproduction
of the Burgomeister hanging on its wall.
This past week we did a Santa Run to Regina. Following
the lodge service at Wadena we continued down Highway
35 and found ourselves at Grandma Jean's in the
early evening. We had a good visit and admired the
lovely Christmas ambiance at the Marian Chateau.
My sister Rhonda was busy with her class...on Thursday
we went to her school's presentation of Christmas at
Bethlehem Gulch. It was a delightful performance.
During his convalescence her husband Reg laid a
new hardwood floor in the living and dining area.
He did an awesome job........
We also had a visit with my brother Greg....
and dropped in on Donna Smith. Also managed
to spend a few $$$$ at Blessings and Dollarama.
We will be heading to Saskatoon for Christmas to spend
the holiday with our nieces and nephews.....it will be the
first Christmas away from home in over 30 years. Glen
is taking his traditional sausage stuffing. We will drive
in after the ChristmasEve Service in Wynyard.
It will be a late night but we have booked into a motel
as Kim's little house is overflowing with people and pets.
We ask your prayers for our seventeen year old great
nephew Nigel who was born with a tumour on
his brain stem and is undergoing pinpoint radiation.
On Boxing Day we are heading to Kindersley to check in on
Aunt Lu and Uncle Murray. Hopefully the weather will
cooperate and the highways will be free and clear.
CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS TO ONE AND ALL!!!!!
