Happy Birthday to Me


Thanks to all who posted birthday greetings on our last post. I can't remember that last time I have had that many people wish me a happy birthday (one of the benefits of blogging). We had a greattime at Christmas seeing family and friends again. It seems that as you grow older family becomes more special. We valued the time we could spend with them. Ashley has some pictures that others have not posted, but trying to get her to load them onto the computer so that I can post them seems to be a bit of a challenge. I will try to get some on here soon. We have a great one of Mom's reaction when she opened one of her gifts and found a Brian Deorksen cd.
This is a picture of me with my birthday cake and one of the cars that Brittany got me for Christmas (it's a '71 Chevelle). I am still working at the GM dealership in Grande Prairie. I went for an interview with the used car sales manager today to discuss the possibility of moving into sales. I should find out later this week what's going to happen.
Margaret is job hunting again she is waiting to hear back from Verna (used to be Klassen) who is the manager of one of the local A&W's. She is also thinking of checking out a job in the home and garden dept. at Superstore.
Thanks to all who posted pictures of your Christmas in B.C. Seeing them really makes us want to come for a visit. Good job Art for keeping up the family tradition of 'madach shlope' looks like you did a fine job. And that little Luke, I must say, he is nearly as cute as me at that age! His pictures just make us want to hug him to pieces.
Later. Love Abe & Maggie

I am not one of those who whished you a happy birthday, Abe, but I did remember that it was your birthday. You look good for an almost old geazer. I, too, hope that the job prospects turn out well for both you and Margaret.

Come to think of it Abe, Luke does look a lot like you. If only I could find a picture of you at that age again. Maybe Sue if she is reading this could 'steal' one from mom and scan it and then post it. That would be awesome.
I am so glad you had a great birthday. We will be praying about the job for you and hope that God opens doors for both you and Margaret.
May God Bless you all in this New Year.
Love and Miss you lots.
