Thanksgiving

There is much to be thankful for today. Naomi and I are thankful that our three children, our son-in-law Roger and our granddaughter are doing well. It has been wonderful to receive photos of Grace as she grows up (see photo above), even though she is far away at present. We are also thankful that Naomi's mother and both my parents are in good health. We think also of my two brothers and their families and Naomi's three brothers and their families.

In my legislative office I am thankful to have such good staff as Leah and Craig. At the Manitoba Liberal Party headquarters, we are grateful for all Dennis's hard work and wish him well on his birthday this weekend. I am thankful for all the volunteers who help out in my legislative office or in the party office. What I do would just not be possible without a lot of help from a lot of people.

And this week, I am thankful for Dr. Jean Paterson coming forward to be our Liberal candidate in Fort Whyte constituency. It takes courage and commitment to come forward and be a candidate. We thank you Jean.

Lastly, we are thankful that the Bombers won their game today.
