Elaine retired from being a school secretary in year 2001 and is loving her new busy life without the pressures associated witth a day to day job. She is actively involved in the Crown Jewels of Canada womans group and is the queen of her chapter "The SophistaCats". Her other hobbies also consist of a large variety of crafts and beating me in one of the many games like backgammon and sequence we play frequently.

Ian has been working on the railroad in Calgary, Alberta and at the same facility, the Ogden Shops for 37 years. I took early retirement in Feb. 2009. Ian manages a few websites, mostly associated with country music and likes anything to do with electronics.

Both Elaine and Ian love attending the local sports as in the AAA junior hockey team the Okotoks Oilers and the intercollegiate baseball team the Okotoks Dawgs. In between sporting events, they attend numerous concerts and are always planning an upcoming cruise.

We have a large family as Elaine has 3 girls who gave her 8 grandkids Brittney, Terilynn, Jolene, Riley, Clayton, Noel, Danielle, and Shelaine and 4 great grandsons Carter,Jaxson, Kosten and Tatum.

We love to travel. We have been to Mexico, Nashville, Hawaii, the Mediterrian, French Polynesia, and have been on many cruises. We are hooked on cruising and find the holiday lifestyle of being on a cruise ship to our liking. See some of our holiday pictures here..

Another passion both of has is the love of Country Music.There is always music playing in our house. We attend many concerts. Have a look at our concert pictures here.
