************************* Hello to all of my family and friends in the Sault.

For those who don't know, I moved away from the Sault 21 years ago.

Winnipeg is my home now, but I do miss the Sault and enjoy my every-other-year visits very much.

I married John Johnson in 2005.

He comes from Thunder Bay area, originally.

I work full-time in a very busy hospital ER as a unit clerk, my job for 18 years.

John is retired from CP Rail.

I miss the beauty of the Sault area, but must admit that the Winnipeg area can have its beautiful moments as well.

Today, with the soft fallen snow on the trees lining our streets, I'm reminded of years gone by in the Bayview area - my home so long ago, yet forever in my heart.

Wishing all you Saultites a Merry Christmas, and a wonderful 2010!

Thank you SooToday.com for the valuable updates. Sincerest wishes always,

Roseanne Venables Johnson & John Johnson ([email protected])
