January news

Here it is early Jan 2006-have had an enjoyable Christmas break - after being in Stettler for a few days - which was amazing - altho I have had Niagara Falls in my right ear since then - we celebrated New Years at Ann & Dan Peters with a whole bunch of Amendts - around 50 or so. Was a lovely time - Grandpa Amendt even stayed awake past midnight. About 5 couples stayed for a "sleepover" - most of the kids were at Blueberry Bible Camp for a Youth Night. John & Michael hosted a New Years Thing at their house again - everyone survived the fireworks games! Went to Buick Creek for church - Sunday AM - Randy was preaching. Then went back to Clayhurst to Elvin's house and had a lovely supper with Steve& Tasha and boys and Emily & Peter & kids and Dave & Barb too. Good to visit with them all again. Last weekend we spent in Tumbler ridge with Dennis & Fran - Ed helped put in five basement windows - ended up staying overnight and going to the Baptist Church in the morning. We got a lovely washing machine in return - my 29 year old Maytag just gave up. So in the last couple of months have replaced 2 major appliances - a fridge and a washer - hope these last at least half as long as the old ones did! Another load of buffalo has been sent to the States - in total - 4 loads I think. Don & Maureen are back in Canada from Australia and John is home while his health permits. The Lord is good.
