Hope you all had a great time and Santa was good to you. Jennifer got so much stuff, she was overwhelmed by it all. When she went to bed for her afternoon nap she surveyed her room crowd- ed with presents from a computer to a tiny tea service and everything in between, she looked up at me and confided 'Grandma, I didn't know that I'd been that good!" When she received a present from Vince, a friend of Andrea and Wayne's, she didn't want to open it. She said that she had enough presents already and we had to Don't believe this resolution Utica and Area News by Vera Brown This is the time of the year when everyone makes promises for the coming year. My New Year's Resolution is 'Not to goof up my news items as much as I did in 1987." Anyone who believes that will believe anything. Church and Sunday School this coming Sunday will be held in Ep- som Church at 11:15 a.m. The Stearman family held their Christmas get together in Utica Hall on Sunday. I understand they had some 50 people present. Mr. & Mrs. Terry Crawford & family of Greenbank were Christmas guests with Pete & Gerogina Sutcliffe & family. Mrs. Eva Sutcliffe was a guest with Mr. & Mrs. Clare Brockman & family at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Miller in Mississauga & also at the home of Mr. & Mrs. Stewart Bray at Raglan. Mrs. Crosier visited Dean & Gloria Beare & Derek on Christmas Day and enjoyed a visit and dinner with Gloria's parents Mr. & Mrs. John Nowack and family in Oshawa. The William Brown family en- joyed Christmas day with Dorothy & Dennis Gerrow & family and on Sunday joined with the Brown fami- ly at their mother's Mrs. K. Brown in Sunderland for dinner. Mr. & Mrs. Earl Fielding enjoyed Christmas with son Frank & fami- ly in their new house in Port Perry. Sunday visitors with the Fieldings were son Jim, Carol & family of Sut- ton & son Frank & family. Chuck & Rhonda Hutton & children were Monday visitors. Christmas visitors with the Eric Carre family were her parents Mr. & Mrs. Jack Hinchcliffe of Toronto, his parents Mr. & Mrs. John Carre of Bridgenorth & Mr. & Mrs. Locke & family of Newmarket. The Carres were Monday guests with Mr. & Mrs. Glenn Wright & boys in Toronto. The Doug MacSween family spent Christmas day with his parents Mr. & Mrs. Harold Walker in Scar- borough and on Boxing Day were with her family at the home of Mr. & Mrs. Fred Timms in Greenbank. Green Xmas fun, anyway assure her that it was O.K. to open it. That was a first - and probably a last time we'll ever hear that! Are you making any New Year resolutions? I guess I'll try again to keep some of those I'm making. One at least I love to keep... lose weight. I put on my jeans yesterday and found I could not get a quarter into my pocket. So once again I'm on a diet and exercise programme. So | guess I'll put the leash on one of the dogs and take them for a drag every day. They hate being on a leash and fight every step of the way when they have to wear one. I've been wrapped around trees, tangled up with other dogs also on leashes, dragged through bushes, pulled into the mud and knocked flat on my fanny when I try to take these mutts on a leash. So exercise is no problem. Dieting, however, is a drag. When I'm on a diet even canned cat food smells good. But, when everything I eat passes my lips and lands on my hips it becomes a problem. Being surrounded by skinny people doesn't help either. Both of my daughters are slim and lovely and my son-in-law eats all the time and looks positively undernourished! It's not fair! So, if any of you are going to be in this some self-denial boat, let me know. We can communicate together and talk about the great meals we have known while we munch on celery and quaff diet soda. Let's hope 1988 sees some real progress on the road to world peace and that famine, disease and disaster are reduced and prosperi- ty and joy are the order of the year. Do keep us posted about the events in Columbus and what's new with you. 1988 could be the best year ever!
