Damn Good December

Canada Cup came to town and the Alexander Keith's Patch was the party at the Medicine Hat curling club. For a change, more time was spent at the Arena watching games than in the Patch! It was a great experience and we met lots of curling fans from across the country. I even won a prize this time around. Not first for my impression of Marilyn Monroe's Happy Birthday where as Ray won first prize at the Continental Divide during the Continental Cup in 2007

Ray's son Brad spent most of the month at the farm working on a huge doll house for his daughter Monroe and his dog Hot Rod became a regular part of the family. I know the red neck rules of etiquette state never allow a dog to eat from the table no matter how good his manners are, but it has to happen at least once, at least for the photo op!




We once again headed to Chestermere for the Beierbach's Annual Christmas dinner and I did eventually, sort of put up a Xmas tree. It may be only a 6" pre-decorated punk and the presents were bigger than the Charlie Brown mini me. It was a quiet Christmas Eve with Ray & I at the farm, Christmas Day was spent with family in the Hat and then it was a shooter party at friends in Seven Persons on Boxing Day. Back to Seven for a New Year's Eve Dance. Ringing in the new year with the one you love is the best!
