so uncertain, cold and so much snow. It was surely good to have them here. They are all
growing up. Barbara and Lorianne are no longer little girls and Dana too is changing. They are
sweet and beautiful girls, all of them. Jimmy is a quiet little fellow but is getting to be a little
show-off. I’m afraid with 5 sisters he has to be.

Frank and Fay were down again to the temple this month. They brought another couple they
have activated. Dan and Alma were here also with some of their friends who are going through
for the first time. Neither Frank nor Tom is coming down for Christmas. Fay and Rae are
having their folks up there. We will miss them this Christmas.

Last night Frank and Fay and Boyd and Billy came at about 10:30 at night. They had with them
a couple they had been fellowshipping who had joined the church a year ago. This morning
Father had the privilege of sealing them and their 6 month old baby at the temple. The couple
left for home right afterwards.
We went with Frank and Fay up to the Lakes and had lunch in their trailer house that Frank has
built on his truck. He has made it so that 8 can sleep in it, the two boys and Frank and Fay and
Father and me and two others. He wants us to come up this summer and go up north with them
on a trip. We didn’t stay all night at the Lake. Fay’s sister Lynn and her family were there also.
They all came down and had Sunday dinner with us and went to church.

Barbara and the children came to see us today. They brought me a lovely nightgown for a
Mother’s day gift. The girls are growing up to be such lovely young ladies. We listened to the
Walt Disney show. Lore didn’t come. He had fallen asleep at home on the coach so Barbara
brought the children out for a ride so they would not wake him. They left to go to a fireside at
Magrath.
Lawrence and Mary are here. We had dinner with them at Lynn’s. Lawrence’s step mother is
not expected to live so they came up to see her at the hospital.
I wrote a letter to Lloyd and Jane in answer to Lloyd’s letter. They are enjoying their new home
and sent a picture of their 3 month old baby, Michael Lloyd. He is a lovely big boy.

We went to Sunday school and meeting today. We had dinner with Lynn and Dora, turkey and
all the trimmings and plum pudding for dessert. Lawrence and Mary visited us last night. They
came up to see Lawrence’s sister who is in Lethbridge Hospital. She cannot walk. And to get
their teeth fixed. They think the dentists do a better job and it is cheaper here than in the States.
They are going home tomorrow.
I just wrote a letter to Tom and Rae and Family. We haven’t seen them for a long time.
