While on holidays this Christmas I came across Yahoo!’s comic page.  Interestingly it is under their tab for "NEWS".  That was my first laugh.  The next was that over 60 comics are featured.  You can click on the site and choose the last two weeks of comics.

Now, for those in large cities who get daily newspapers, this may not be a big deal.  Here in Kindersley we subscribe to the weekly paper, and examine the electronic "free" sections of large papers.  They don’t feature their comic sections!  Having said that, most of them don’t have 60 different comics to choose from, let alone editorial cartoons.

So, for the laugh of it, I tried out some of the Yahoo comics.  Peanuts has been into the story of the mad punter — and Linus is trying to memorize his lines for the Christmas play.  Garfield and Odie are being "babysat" by the strong lady of babysitters while Jon goes on a New Year’s Eve date.  Marmaduke drank too much punch at the New Year’s Eve party.  And in B.C. the Echo Canyon has been automated.

Sometimes you need a break — take a look today!

Feels funny to say that!  We’ve been with mom and dad for five days.  Lots of chatter and Scrabble, a few trips downtown and a birthday party.  When all is said and done, the time has beeen good.

Last night we started packing up a few things.  This morning as well.  Sometime this afternoon we will be off.

The adventures here will be remembered. 

007 is passing into the new year of 008.  What awaits us?  We’ll see!!

Here we are having lunch.  Sunday lunch.  A day of rest.

And who pops in?  Fern Doner — a friend from years past, a good friend of my parents.  The air was filled with reminiscences and laughter.  As she was leaving, we took pictures.  She was told that this would go on my blog.  She demurred, but we insisted.  After viewing a few images, this was chosen.  She’s the young one in the middle!!

So he’s entering the 9th decade of life.  That’s an accomplishment in itself. 

The dinner was beef and horseradish, peas and carrots, potatoes and salad along with ice cream and pie.  Who could ask for anything more!!
