2016 CHRISTMAS GREETINGS
Thank you for your cheery Christmas greeting.
For some, the past year was simply great and for others it represented major changes. Our sympathy and condolences go out to you who suffered great loss of loved ones -- be they family members or close friends. We are particularly mindful of our dear friend, Sam D. and our acquaintance, Bill De C.. Also, we attended Johnny's celebration of life and were disheartened by Bev's seeming, loss of memory. It is truly a 'thief in the night' who steals away one's life's memories. It feels to me like we lost two old friends at once.
For Bernice and me, the Lord continues to shower down His Blessings upon us daily. This, of course, in the most valuable blessing -- one's health. I am in my eightieth year (to be celebrated March 2017) and Bernice is getting up there, although much younger (thought it prudent to include that last bit ;-).
Our family is doing splendidly; that be our children, their children and their children. Cameron and Michelle have one daughter and three boys and Bentley and Sharon have one daughter and two boys -- all doing well in their studies and careers. Cameron and Michelle are grandparents going into their third year in this role. Wow, how time flies!
Bernice and I aren't walking as much as we used to but when the weather warms up we hope to return to our regimen of two or three walks per week. Anyone reading our blog or viewing our Flickr photos knows our whole life is on the internet.
Our Flickr photostream (as of today) contains 5,838 photos (plus 100 videos) with 1,572,981 (1.57 million) views, all images from Beautiful British Columbia. Our photos on Google Maps alone have been viewed over 30,000 times. Our 309 YouTube videos have been viewed 689,718 times as of today.
WISHING YOU ALL MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR 2017
