Hi there. Happy New Year, everyone. Hope you had a nice Christmas. I think most of our tenants here had a great one.
Gerald Hilliard travelled to Choiceland to visit with his family.Â
Stella Rendle was happy to see her family in Edam. Hope you had a great visit, Stella. It’s just so nice to be together during the festive season.
Bep Wyatt always enjoys being together with all her family here in North Battleford.
Edith Lockhart went to Paradise Hill to visit her grandson and family. Later on some more of her relatives spent time with Edith. They all enjoyed swimming at our big pool and also celebrating some birthdays.Â

Alpha Schmiler went to the farm to spend Christmas with her daughter and son-in-law and also saw some of her family from Edmonton.Â
Fae Derkach and her granddaughter Erin Letrud left Dec. 14 for France. They flew from Saskatoon to Toronto and then to Paris where they were met by Fae’s son. Then they travelled by train to Dijon. They enjoyed a week there then went by train to Strasbourgh to visit her granddaughter, Astryd, Cedric and her new great-granddaughter Nathalie. Erin and Fae returned to Paris Dec. 26 and flew home.
Shirley Tebay went with son Gary and Roberta to Bob and Betty Colliar’s for a lovely Christmas dinner. Several family members joined them. Dec. 28, Shirley went to Lashburn to visit a grandson, Brodie and Jayme Tebay and great-granddaughter, Sadie. Sadie kept them entertained with her new toy tea set. Shirley said she didn’t know when she drank so much tea.
I had a lovely Christmas, too. I went to Saskatoon to be with my son and family. I saw many of my great-grandchildren I was pleased to see after a long while. I loved watching the children open their stockings of gifts. Great-grandma had a stocking, too. There was much fun and food and great visits with all my family. That’s what made Christmas for me.
We have some sadness here at the Tower. Clyde Dewar passed away. He was a resident here for some time. Sincere sympathy goes out to wife Laura and family.
Ada Passuto’s son-in-law passed away just before Christmas. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to Ada, daughter Carol and family.
I want to thank all those who give me news for my report every month. I’ll keep writing for the paper as long as we have the news.
