noble news #73 - Marvelle Reporter

Just read Shirley's blog and it was good enough to make me want to write. Christmas passed quickly. Too quickly for me but it was good. Brad and his kids and daughter-in-law went to Vegas for Christmas. It was nice - then Jessey and Shelbi stayed after New Years. We went home to Arizona. It was very good to see all the kids again. Cliff and I stayed with Brad at the Treasure Island. Shelbi and Dustyn and his bride stayed there too. Jessey stayed with Nickee. We are taking Maggie and Lola (the dogs) home when we go. We are going home ( to Cardston) the middle of March.

Then Brad had quite a kerfuffle in going home. We took him to the airport along with Dustyn and Julia and left them there just about noon on Monday. When we were at the show (at 8:00pm) Brad called to tell us they could leave Vegas but couldn't land in Great Falls as the runway was too slippery. So we went to pick them up. They stayed at Nickee's and left the following morning. The weather was bad when they got to Great Falls but they managed to get where they were going.

Nickee had a dinner on the Sunday after Christmas. We had gone down to their place Christmas Day, then Brad came on the 26th and left on the 29th.

We have been having a ball down here. I guess Bonnie had to go home for her health care was in Alberta. She had a bad stomach ache and then it was diagnosed as a bad stomach. Too bad. Anyway we have been going to exercise and then swimming in the afternoon. It has been wonderful.

In January the Vadnais and Sommerfeldts are coming. In February Brad and Helen and then in March Lester Ann and Taylor, and Gayle are coming. Vadnias are going to Mexico for his teeth, Ted and Carol come each year as does Brad and Helen. The Jensens are coming to see the ball games and then we are going home. Have a good time in Australia. Brad's son Jessey is supposed to be going to Australia for six months as as soon as he has enough money to go. He is going with a friend whose Aunt lives there.

Well will go for now.

love Marvelle
