Hi Family

Nice to read all the new entries.Mom the Elmvale Memories remain in my heart forever.The fresh smell of the apples in the shed, cut up oranges, pepsin chicklets, wet straw cow and pig manure.There are many others as well. The creeky old stairs in many of the anglican churches we went to sunday school to, in Elmvale and Hamilton. Yes they are all memories good ones.
On the weekend both Al and I once again had a chance to share some of our own as well as hear other peoples' memories of the 90 towns we showcase.So many memories everyones' different. From it all we wind up creating Looking Back and even now Looking Forward trivets.
Since we were at Georgetown Highschool for 2 days we had a chance to remember our friend Jim Collis who passed away 10 years ago.He lived in Glen Williams just down the road from Ham and Sue. Jim sometimes drove me home from work in the 60's when I worked at Ingrahams, he lived in Ancaster then.
I also remember Sue having a house on Queen St., enjoying a lovely Christmas there as well as all us 4 girls sharing a theater date "Cats" in Toronto, thanks to Ham. Do you remember?
Anyways better get to work ,we have the go ahead on a lot of custom orders form last week as well as new ones from this weekend, which is good.
Glad you all had nice weekends. Ham I tried to play Scrabillicious last nite with you, could not get in. Where did you go? All set to make a move this morning & you were gone.
Anyways this scrabble thing on facebook is new for me, I find it very relaxing playing so many games at once.Learn new words from each game I am playing.Nice break now and then.Al and I play Literati on Yahoo which too is a challenge.
Still learning lots. Take care all.
Love Birgie
