The fall season has been
simply beautiful in Saskatchewan this year, with warm and
sunny weather almost every day.
Lauren is 5 months old now and is becoming a very vocal little
girl with some very cute things to say. I talk a lot,
so I guess she is taking after her dad, but she has her mom's
smile and is a very smiley girl. Lauren loves to go for
visits and wins hearts everywhere she goes.

Lauren, Lorna and I traveled to Calgary, Alberta,
Canada for the Adventures in Embroidery Expo this month. We had
a fabulous time in cowtown and met many new friends.
The embroiderers seemed to overtake the hotel with someone wearing
their proudly crafted, best embroidered clothes everywhere you looked.
The people were so friendly. I can honestly say that this was the
most fun I have ever had at a trade show. No one at the show
expected the snow we had the first morning, but it was only a treat
for the southern U.S. attendees and was gone by noon.
I taught a class at the show and I think it went pretty well. I
have had some good feedback from my class so I think I will work
on my materials and plan to teach a few more. I also have some
great ideas for web based teaching and will keep dreaming for now
and see what I can accomplish.
We really enjoyed the trip to Calgary and liked all of the people
we met. Thanks Jen and Linda. You put on a great event.

I love soccer. I'm an executive director
of the SDSA (adult soccer league) in Saskatoon. We were the host
of the National Tournament for the Canadian Senior Club Soccer Championship
this year and I was one of the organizers of the event. I designed
the logo and we used it to make some embroidered shirts. Press the
logo above to see the embroidered version. I also authored the web
site where I have pictures from the tournament and the game results.

We had a great time at the soccer games and Lauren is a good fan.
Manitoba won the Mens Division and Alberta won the Womens.
The caliber of play was excellent, I only wish I could play like
those teams. Just watching them made me anxious to get our
indoor season started.
