Dining Room Furniture.

Well, the new table and chairs arrived tonight about 7:00 PM. We had been expecting the impending delivery since 5:00 PM when I got home from work, and met Steve leaving the house with a quick message of "the delivery guys are supposed to be here with the table and chairs at...well, er, about now. I've got practice see ya!!!"

It was still freezing cold all day today, with a high of about -28, and Steve's car wouldn't start all day, so he was waiting for the van. Actually he worked today for the first time in over a week. So what do you think? Does the dining set look good or what? It has two huge leaves and opens up to sit 14 adults. Enough for Bev and I and

everyone of you kids and your spouses (when you are all married). We'll put the old table downstairs for the grand children when they are older. Card tables etc till then. Actually the pictures don't do the set justice as I think it's actually a little darker than it looks in the picture. We think it's marvelous!! Mom says it now needs a really fine looking centerpiece in gold tones.

Thankfully it's supposed to start warming up sometime tomorrow, and actually get above zero for a few days , at least until Saturday.

We have a busy week. Tonight we had FHE over at Craig and Norma's with our old couples FHE group that we started a month ago. (We are going to get together once a month). Are we getting old or what? It's an "Empty Nester" thing. Tomorrow is Mom's Clinic Christmas get together and party thing. Usually good eats and visiting. Thursday is Ward Temple night. Friday is the Steed wedding in Taber and I guess on Wednesday, I'll be heading to Cardston to see Grandma Scott. Sunday we're off to Medicine Hat after Sacrament meeting to see Raley in her ballet recital. A full schedule this week, but it should all be lots of fun.

Grandma Wide hasn't been feeling to good the last few days. We were just there at 10:00 tonight, and she was a little shaky. She goes for more tests at the Regional on Wednesday.

Jen and Dan, you're old neighbor Drena Harker passed away. We don't know what from, but her obit was in the Westwind news Friday. And there's a For Rent sign out front of your place already.
