Well it has been a wk, that is because I got off the light. So here am I in Vancouver for the Christmas season. This is my first with our son in yrs and a first with his family. What a joy it was yesterday to see our grand daugther and he unwrap the christmas ornaments. These are ones he and I bought in France and some in Germany so many yrs ago. To see the look on her face as she unwrapped each one wondering what it would be. Then going for another, and then they placed them on the tree. The day before we went out to cut down a fresh tree. So sweet Christmas truly is for the young and the young at heart.

I had thought that I would be on the light with our neighbours as hubby went fill in so this gave me a good reason to be here. I got lucky to get a chopper all the way down to Victoria and the day was lovely and a good ride . My Pilot was a great man and we even had to detour as there was a thought someone heard a radio beacon from a plane, off we went to check it out. Seems there was a small private runway and a hanger and the thought was that they beacon was from the hanger set off by accident.

Since I have been here I have been having memories of my own childhood Christmas with my family. Taking a train in to Montreal and spending the day shopping and going on rides and ending up at Eaton's top floor resturant for lunch. Eaton's was a large department store. And of course there was the photo with Santa each yr as well. Well it is now early morning here in my room in Vancouver trying to get rid of the town cold that we all get when we come off the lights. I hope that is will find all my readers enjoying the season and having their own memorys of their childhood Christmas's and that they are good ones. I know that my are. Later from the Couver as we call it here.
