Percy and Paulette Heer traveled with Eldon and Dale Van Straten last Sunday going to Wetaskiwin to visit Percy and Dale's cousin Melvina, who is in acute care in hospital. They were met there by Melvina's daughter and husband, Gayle and Brian, going out to supper after with them for a good visit.

Vic and Barb Carey enjoyed this weekend when grandchildren Tori and Jonah came Saturday, staying through Sunday. While here, the girls baked and the guys enjoyed hobbies and the great outdoors.

Bill and Joyce Hansel greeted daughter Mary Lou and her daughter Natasha for a visit on the weekend. MaryLou drove them to Penhold on Sunday to baby Tenley Marie's baby shower. Mary Lou is staying for a few days with Bill and Joyce.

(A note from two weeks ago: Yes, Tenley is a great granddaughter, no "son". My bad!)
