Well, the 2009 Grey Cup game is history. Desvastating history for the Saskatchewan Roughriders. How humiliating it was to HEAR the occurrences of the last minute of play.
We did go out and buy a new television set. It is “only” a 26 inch T.V., but it has a built-in DVD player and it fits just nicely into the entertainment centre in the R.V. We found we did not require a new antenna or anything else to be able to get the local channels.
However, we do not have the knowledge to hook it up to the computer, even though we had the cord. So we were quite satisfied to be able to obtain the Grey Cup Game on CHED T.V. out of Edmonton and our whole crew was over for a Grey Cup Party. That last minute of play, don’t you know, our lap top cut out briefly. Only afterwards did we find that the field goal had actually been missed and the Roughriders would have won; but there were too many players on the field so Montreal had the chance to do it again, and won. UNBELIEVABLE!!!! Ancient history now…
This week, we ladies have stayed at home so far because it is raining and the men can do all the indoor work there is to do. We don’t mind that a bit. We understand it is snowing in some parts of Texas, as well as on the prairies. Jim and Annette have e-mailed that they arrived home in Steinbach mid afternoon on Nov. 30th and the roads were like summer driving all the way. That is very unusual for the end of November.
John and I learned that our dear friend, Helene Epp, is finally at her final rest and we are so thankful for that. It would be nice to be able to go to her funeral this Friday, but that is not feasible. I have sent my public tribute to Helene and her husband, David, to my publisher to be put in the P.A. Shopper. I hope people will enjoy the article.
We had a “Hootenanny” at our house last Thursday evening and finally enjoyed some music. Carl plays a mean guitar and we all really enjoyed the singing.
We went to a different Baptist Church this past Sunday. We enjoyed the service, the people and the pastor so much that we will certainly go back. Their pastor used to be a running back for a professional football team – he’s just a short guy and although his sermon was longer than most, he was so interesting, the time went by quickly. It is a very vibrant congregation and the lady behind me referred to their pastor as a “real pistol”. He has only been at this church for 4 months, so that is quite a compliment.
I am attaching a picture of our whole group taken at Ryan’s Buffet Thanksgiving Day. There’s entirely too much good food happening down here!!
This week we had a little gathering at Miss Loretta’s to acknowledge completion of her renovation. What a blessing to all of us. Six representatives of SETIO were in attendance as well as all of our group. Miss Loretta provided coffee and donuts and we spent an enjoyable time showing the SETIO group the improvements and sharing our common goal in helping people get their homes back in good shape after the storms. They are as thankful as we are that the Lord is using all of us in this very important mission. Although Miss Loretta was still feeling a bit under the weather with her cold, she expressed her gratitude and delight with the upgrades in her new newly renovated home. Our little friend, Destiny, was not able to be there and we all missed her.
