That means my new little girl,- Tristan, is a year old and my maternity leave has come to. an . end. Big brother Trey is happy to have a sister and the rest of the family is doing: well. There came some challenges with the new addition caring for an extra body in the household and get- ting into. a .different schedule. Now comes a new challenge with having to manage a full -tithe job with a family and getting use to another different .routine. I am sure I will adapt to these chan4es as I have adapted to the many other changes. in my life - • I know we will survive. Despite the pleasure of staying at home with my family, I am glad to be back at work. It feels. that a year went by quick- ly but I missed being with my fellow co-workers - Pat, Ruth and Betty Anne. I call being back at the old job a Christmas present to myself and I see it as a good way to start the new year. However, this also sadly means that Garit will now be moving on. I appreciated his help over the past year, filling in for me as editor, and I wish him all the best with his future endeavours. I may not be as avid a hock- ey fan as Garit but I do hope to continue to offer informa- tion that interests everyone. I look forward to being out in the community regularly again - seeing old and new faces and attending all the many events and activities in the area. This is my hometown and I am proud to be a part of the community. I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and from myself and the rest of the staff~ at the Lucknow Sentinel, we Wish everyone a safe and happy New Year!
