CHRISTMAS 2011

We had a tranquil and very enjoyable Christmas. Stephen's friend from Vernon Street, Bob, stayed with us over the Holidays. Fran McKnight and her two international students join us for Christmas dinner. One was from China and the other from Brazil. It was interesting to learn about some of the unique customs of their respective countries.

Carly and her family gave us a very colourful Xmas wreath they had crafted and her dog Daffy enjoyed the company of Zack and Nicko. Stephen was thrilled with his XBOX Kinect from Andrew and Kristie. Jonathan stocked up on fly fishing gear, I got an ice fishing tent that is very comfortable when fishing on cold and windy days. Andrew and Kristie gave Jonathan an underwater camera and Genevieve and I Fitbits. The Fitbit has been referred to as a pedometer on steroids. It has a wireless link to the computer that enables the program to automatically record and graph all your fitness activities. We receive an email each week with our summarized activity report.

As usual, we ate too much and didn't exercise enough.
