Merry Christmas From Marystown 2007

Hi everyone:
Just a note to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas as well as a healthy and prosperous New Year.
We are quite busy here with work and getting ready for the Holiday season. Gladys and I are both working full time these days so it doesn't leave much time to get ready. We took a couple of days the week before last to go to St. John's to do some shopping. Hopefully she has all of it done. As for me I guess it will be a last minute thing.
Cheryl will be coming home for Christmas on Saturday December 22 and will be home until January 1. We are looking forward to having her home for that time. I will be going to St. John's on Friday to pick her up. Hopefully the weather will cooperate.
All is well with Mother, Joan and Bernadette. Alv, Bernadette and Boyd have been back at the fish plant since June and will be laid off Friday Dec. 15 until the middle of January. Hopefully things will be much more settled at the fishplant in 2008.
In other news, Pat is now settled away in Florida and will be there for the next few months. It must be nice to be away from those cold temperatures which have come much earlier for us than in recent years. It seems like winter is here to stay. He can be reached at his email address which he should have set up by now. If you don't have it and would like it, just drop me a line. Also, I heard from Diane that Matthew will be home for the Christmas season. He and Christine(his girlfriend) will drive down from Ottawa soon. I believe Christine is coming over to Newfoundland to visit her father during the holidays. Maybe we'll get an opportunity to see her.
Please post a comment and let us know what happening with each of you during the holidays. I shall post again soon with some more information and maybe a few photos of Marystown.
Have a great Christmas with your families and friends.
Barry

Hey Barry & Everyone!

Thanks for sending out an email with the link to your Blog. I had no idea that you had one going or I would've checked it earlier.

Everything is good with me, I'm taking some time off over xmas to spend with the family and the girlfriend (Jenn) Hopefully next year we'll take a trip with Mom and Dad to go over and see all of you in Newfieland :) so you can all meet Jenn!

I'm still working at Atlantic Lottery (can you believe it'll be 10yrs this may!!!) crazy. it's going good here still supporting our online gaming system (https://www.playsphere.alc.ca) where you can buy your tickets over the internet.

Hi Barry & Stacey crew!

Just want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Matthew and Christina are coming home for Christmas. Christina will be going on to the Rock to visit her Dad but we'll have her for a few days.

Adam and Cory are doing very good in their jobs.

Kevin is keeping his job - which we are very thankful for. If he can hold off for 4 more years we'll both be retiring then.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Diane
