Hello to all once again and hope everyone had a SUPER XMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEARS. Been gone one whole month, but it is nice to be back home again. Was in EDMONTON THE WHOLE TIME. the weather was Super, never had temps lower than -8 degrees. Thats warm out there. Never wore my heavy coat at all while there. Perfect sunshine everyday, no rain no snow while there. Weather not as good as Windsor was though. Here the fields are all green and the crops are starting to pop up through the ground and the sune is just bursting out there. Hot dog, maybe an early SPRING. Keep your fingers crossed guys. Sorry I lost contact with everybody while gone. Did not have PC access. However it is nice to be back and see all the good items on screen. Keep it going guys.

Thank you everybody for your letters re our holiday. Glad each of you also had a good season.
Mike - you are asking about my new hip. The Hip is doing just fine. However I am having a little problem with walking. with my left leg muscles. Apparently most of my walking is being done by my side leg muscle rather than both side and back leg muscles together. I walk with a slight limp without the cane ( which I restarted in Edmonton after getting some treatment for it) . So I am scheduled to see my family Doctor tomorrow re more Physio on the leg. It is not painful to walk if standing up straaight. otherwise it is awkard initially. However ,I shall overcome. Must overcome if I am to travel some more. Must get more in now. I will be 84 years old this year and still feel likw a million. I think it's the PURE GLENFIDICK SCOTCH that does it. Sure tastes good anyway. Will try and come up with more stuff for you when I get better settled. thanks to all once again.
