I was truly blessed with a Christmas season surrounded by
family and friends again this year! There were two major highlights –the season
spent with Grace, Margaret, my daughters and their partners plus having the opportunity
to visit with most of my immediate family and friends. Grace was wound tight as
a corkscrew. She definitely knew what this was all about and we all took
pleasure in viewing the season through her eyes.
Carolyn hosted a gathering at her house which was full of
laughter, fun and friendship with people around her kitchen. I was also
fortunate to have the opportunity to visit with other friends who were around
in Lloydminster.
New Year’s Eve Stacey, Bill, Mikaela, Matt, myself and some
of Stacey’s friends celebrated at the Hotel MacDonald in Edmonton. It was a
splendid and posh Gatsby evening. I felt like I was truly in that era- a
memorable evening spent with people I love. What a way to begin the year 2016!!
My flight back was slightly bumpy but other than that I sailed
right back into Taipa and into the prekindergarten scene again. I think that
it’ll probably be the only time that I have three consecutive boarding
passes-January 1, 2, and 3rd although it was only 17 hours flying
time total.
Since then, I’ve ventured to the mainland and found a huge
underground mall which I’ll definitely be visiting again. I was also shown
where some fabric stores and a reputable tailor were located in Macao. I am
awaiting one dress coat and a blazer to be sewn and then I’ll decide if I
return there to have other items tailored.
Hoping 2016 began on the right track for all of you reading
this.
