Hello from the IT person that never seems to get to the computer at home.....

You know I am not much for long, wordy messages. Merry Christmas and can't wait for '08!!! The year you come back to us..

Love and kisses, Gloria and Jacky xx00

Buenos dias Chicas,

The Holiday season is quickly approaching and we are breathless with anticipation. Note: Mama arrives next Wednesday. Icalled your place a few times and found out that you're on the road somewhere for the next month and will be back early in January. Hopefully you're both going on some great spa retreat. We hope everything works out with the new house in January. Can't wait to chat and have another sleepover. We we're thinking that you should move to Halifax with us, afterall they have a lot of foreign adult students that could use your ESL teaching skills. Besides, there's so much ocean and countryside to explore we need company for that. I can dream with the best of them. Have a great Christmas Holiday, you know you'll be in our hearts. Big Hugs and Luvins. Jacqueline and Gloria xoxo

hey Shell! Thanks sooo much for your note. I have tried to e-mail you a couple of times to your spriglet address but it will not accept my e-mails. I have just gotten through your first album...looks amazing! Will and I have all our photos posted on facebook. Are you guys on that? Do you have another e-mail address and I can send you some photos. Where are you now? are you teaching? keep me posted. Maybe our paths will cross again someday in an incredilbe place!! cheers, sharla

Hey chicas suertes

Thought I would send seasons greetings before I head to England for a fortnight over Christmas to visit dear mama. On the musical front, I now have a band called Et Cetera (ETC). We are starting to gig and are working on a CD. The family are happy and healthy. Have a wonderful Christmas celebration with your new families down there. Miss you guys.

Love Bri

Hello my little dumplings,

Well, it's that time of the year and we're in the full swing of over shopping for food and booze. Mom arrives Dec.12 and Wendy and Peggys' parents arrive on the 13th. We were thinking of you on Saturday when we were at Costco and want to send you a care package. We also picked up some champagne to toast your second wedding anniversary , we'll set the table for 4 and if you show up we'll be ready.

I'm going to give you a call tonight at the # Nicole left. If anyone has an address for the girls that would be greatly appreciated.

Super BIG Hugs, Love Jacqueline and Gloria xoxo

Hi cuties!

Over the weekend I completely lost it! I lost it -- over vacuuming. I wanted to throttle the hoover. I had had it with sucking it all up every Saturday and was feeling pis%ed about the whole cat hair thing and fall season's dust bunnies.

However after reading the blog, I feel blessed and refreshed. It provides me with a gentle reminder of how much we take for granted here. What a smuck I can be.

Ovens and vacuums are a good thing!

Hugs - D and V.

(Still wondering where to send the milk duds!)

hey...great shots...especially of the kids...looks like you are making great strides. The carnival/circus looked like a fun time. All is well here...continuing to be busy, but healthy (so can't complain)...no snow yet, but it is on its' way...miss Canada yet??? We miss you...

Hello Daarlings,

I tried calling last night again but I didn't have any luck with the 00 #number so I tried adding a 1 to it, no luck.

I will keep trying. I'm slow but persistant. All is well here. Gloria's in Calgary for a couple of days so I painted the wall around the sofa last night, just a little surprise. That's all it takes after 9 years together. We discovered the joys of champagne during our stay in Halifax. We'll share that luscious experience with you next time we see each other. Speaking of beauties, I'm still HOT in case you were wondering..

Love you both, take care of each other. Jacqueline and Gloria

Desperately missing my girls. If found wandering the streets or beaches of Peru please send back to Edmonton. You can't miss them two white cuties who speak broken Spanish.

My trip to N.S. was productive and full of family and yes big To-Do-Lists. Everyday my dad or grandmother had a list of things for me to do or pick up. Thanks be to God me likes doing dat sort of stuff. All is well at home dad is doing great and the prognosis is good. Gloria made it down to Halifax for the last week and we stayed with Nicole and Ang. We had a hoot and in the process discovered the joys of drinking champagne just for the hell of it. It just makes you happy for no reason at all. That discovery is a keeper. We hit Pete's Fruitique as well as the local donair shops and seafood markets on the waterfront. We even saw The Silva cruise by and had a toast to both of you. The weather was stupendous and when you come down to visit you should come in the fall. It brought tears to this old farts eys on a few occasions. All is well with us and we are, more than ever, moving ahead with the Halifax adventure. We wish you were here to share this with you but we know you're both there in spirit. We love and miss you. Ta ta for now. Big Hugs and a bit of a back rub too. Jacqueline and Gloria

So glad to hear you're doing so well, getting into a routine and soaking up all that this experience has to offer! The website, blogs and pictures are amazing! Take good care...God bless!
