Hi Everybody,

Okay Ruth thought it would be cool to have a blog site so here it is. It is Monday, Oct. 9, Thanksgiving Day and we are waiting for Brian and Beth to arrive from Victoria. I made a pancake, ham, and eggs brunch for everybody. This morning Becky and Gavin went and played tennis with G. Nettleton and Corinna. I think they want to play some more this afternoon. It is a beautiful sunny day and we really do have a lot to be thankful for. We are especially grateful to God for healing Ruth recently as she has been off of painkillers completely now for a few weeks. We are looking forward to our first grandchild at the beginning of December and are thankful that Elizabeth is healthy. We miss Philip not being home for Thanksgiving this year but are thankful that he is healthy and has a good job in Kelowna. We will be having a big turkey dinner today at about 5 o'clock and then picking names for buying Christmas gifts. If anyone bothers to read this we hope you have a great Thanksgiving. Phil and Ruth
