A very merry Christmas and a happy New Year to all family
and friends.
It is hard to believe that January 3rd will be our first
anniversary at Deli Heights; the year has just flown by. Both Gloria
and myself work long hours to make the business a success. At Methanex,
where I worked for 22 years, work was a concept, now it's a reality
:-)
Some of our more notable moments this year are: Catering
to the Olympic skating stars in May. There were ice skating champions
from Russia, America and Canada. They were in Medicine Hat for a one-day
show. We served them breakfast, lunch and an evening meal. They said
it was the best home cooked meal they had had since being on the road.
We even managed to get an autographed poster. This is now framed, and
had pride of place in the deli.
In July we introduced the English High Tea to Medicine
Hat. With homemade preserves, scones, finger sandwiches and desserts
it has proven to be a roaring success with the ladies.
"The Tigers", our local ice hockey team, uses our catering
for all home games to feed the officials and referees. They have booked
our services for January 21st to cater a "Sponsor Appreciation" evening.
We are serving a BBQ beef dinner for 125 persons.
Christmas Eve finds us serving dinner to all the family
members still in town. We are holding this at the deli, as we do not
have a stove at home, we took it to work as one their broke. Everyone
is bringing something, but we are supplying the turkey. Over here most
people open presents on Christmas Eve. So that is what will be happing
after dinner.
No much golf for either Gloria or myself this year. Even
Sunday's found us working at the deli.
Wishing everyone in your family the very best of the
season and a wonderful and happy new year.
With love and best wishes. Merry Christmas and a very
Happy New Year.
Best wishes from Allan and Gloria.
