David and I had a wonderful time at Judy's place on Christmas Day, along with David's mother and the Niemans (or "the Nieman-Williamseses", as I like to call them).

On Boxing Day we drove to Regina because my sister Mary was having a small gathering. That night we stayed at my sister Brenda's place at Regina Beach. Some of her partner Greg's family dropped by, including the talented singer and visual artist Heather Bishop. The next day David, Brenda and I went back into Regina and enjoyed the IMAX film "Deep Sea" and the Mackenzie Art Gallery. After having dinner with Brenda and Greg at their house that evening, David and I drove back to Saskatoon.
