Merry Christmas to all

I tried to get on here earlier tonight but the internet and I weren't getting along at the moment. Any way!

My family and I wish everyone the best that Christmas has to offer, including this wonderful white that has settled around us.

Be merry, be safe.

It's after midnight and all my family isn't home. David and Natasha got called out at about 11 PM for two different searches (Provincial Search & Rescue). Seems some other families aren't all together tonight either. They've gone looking for an overdue cross-country skier in one area of the valley and a missing snowmobiler in another. We hope everyone is home, safe and sound, by daylight.

Good night all, and as said "Merry Christmas".

Greg & Erica Sutfin, David & Natasha, and Jared.

Merry Christmas Greg & family and also to all the Roverlanders out there enjoying the lovely, white snow. Its been fun to drive in and a ^*^&*%# to shovel. I'd also like to wish a Merry Christmas and a big thank you to all the people who are out and about working hard to keep everyone of us safe on the roads, in the hospitals and all the other places where the work can't stop. Christmas in our house won't be until the 27th since one daughter is working nights and the other is working days until then.

It's been fun this year being able to be the driver with the vehicle to depend on. Sure beats the first Christmas where the rover got parked when it wouldn't start. After enduring two days of comments about dependable vehicles and about blocking part of the driveway it was a great relief to discover that you must ensure that the shift is placed fully in park before the ignition will engage. Operator error rather than mechanical.

Cheers
Chris, Tricia, Kristina and Sarah

D & N crawled in at 4 AM for a bit of sleep. Yes, mother was up waiting for them! The snowmobiler managed to get himself back out. The skier was injured and still on the trail. He was found and assisted out, cold wet and sore but apparently otherwise okay. For those of you who were on the "Scratch Run" at this years CV LR Rally, he was close to where we started the trail.

Merry Christmas again to all.
(Santa somehow knew I wanted an electric trolling motor and there was one under the tree this morning.)
