Too Cold



Here's some grandparents. Bordie + Mae Krogsgaard and Bert + Marge Roberts renewing their vows in front of the Roberts family gathered for the holidays.

Hi. Since returning to the deepfreeze of Saskatchewan we have been enjoying the time together before the baby's arrival. The holidays were nice and long allowing time to visit family and reset before going back to work (although I don't really consider it work). As many of you know my last job only allowed me one week out of the month at home. My new position allows me to be home every night with Helen, so it is much more accomodating for family life.

I love my job, it's a great company I now work for. There's something about flying up and down the province at 25000 feet and 500 km/h that I refuse to call work. An interesting fact that has come to mind lately is that as a result of people needed to fly home up north or business people just wanting to get to Regina quicker, our little 19 seat plane (usually not more than half full)burns about 570 litres/hr(150GPH) and gets less than 2 miles/gallon. And so us pilots are possibly the worst polluters on the planet.

Congratulations to Pete and Chelsea on Christmas Day, Roy and Monica, and Rob and Melissa in Saskatoon here with the new additions and 1st babies to each family. We were at pre-natal classes this past weekends and became more informed on what's to come. Helen wants everyone to know she got her PAL (firearms license). She has a big belly now and we are counting down the weeks.

Karl,

I really missed our hunt this past year. Congratualations Helen on the lisence. I finally did that this past fall too. Stinkin govt. Anyways, Im really craving a good hunt at some point in the future. You should come try Elk in the kootenays. Im looking forward to the arrival of your little one and spending time with you guys sometime in the future. Enjoy your last few moments together just the two of you. I know thats cliche, but trust me, its a good idea. Let us know how things go.

It is good to hear that you guys are doing well.
Congratulations to the soon to be father, nice work karl, and the soon to be legal fire arms carrier, nice work Helen.

It sounds like your new job going to work out pretty good for you guys, even if you are polluting like a mad man.
Some time soon you should head up to Calgary for visit with Jones'.
I think you would like.
