Mandy's Story
Life
SHORT AND SWEET
SINCE I GRADUATED FROM FERGUS (CDWHS) HIGHSCHOOL MY LIFE HAS
BEEN ABOUT FAMILY. IN SEPT. '77 I CAME OUT TO THE PROVINCE OF SASKATCHEWAN. GOT A JOB AS A NURSING AIDE IN THE SMALL TOWN OF CARNDUFF ...MET A COAL MINER FROM ESTEVAN AND IN DECEMBER
OF THAT YEAR HE ASKED ME TO MARRY HIM...AUGUST 1978 I MARRIED AND HAVE BEEN KNOWN AS MRS. RICHARD HOGG SINCE THEN . MOST OF OUR AQUAINTANCES CALL ME MRS. BOSS. FROM DUKES OF HAZZARD I WOULD GUESS. WE HAVE BOTH PUT IN AN EQUAL SHARE OF IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH...IN GOOD TIMES AND IN BAD...SO WE DON'T THINK OF EACH OTHER AS THE BOSS. WE TRAVELLED A BIT BEFORE STARTING A FAMILY AND IN APRIL OF 1980 WE BECAME THE PARENTS OF JENNIFER LOUISE. IN NOVEMBER OF 1981 WE WERE BLESSED WITH A SISTER FOR JENNIFER AND CALLED HER ROBIN AMANDA. WE DID SOME TRAVELLING AND CAMPING AND I CONTINUED TO DO THAT MOM THING...IN MAY OF 1983 WE HAD DAUGHTER #3 AND CALLED HER MICHELLE CATHERINE. WE HAD THREE VERY HEALTHY VERY HAPPY LITTLE GIRLS. ALL LIKE STEPPING STONES.WE DECIDED TO HAVE ONE MORE IN OUR FAMILY AND IN MARCH OF 1986 WE BECAME PARENTS TO A SON JEFFREY ALLEN RICHARD JUST AN HOUR AND A HALF BEFORE HIS DAD'S BIRTHDAY. I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO TOP THAT BIRTHDAY PRESENT. OUR FAMILY WAS NOW VERY MUCH COMPLETE AND WE CONTINUED TO CAMP AND TRAVEL. OUR CHILDREN LOVED TO FISH AND SPEND TIME BY THE CAMPFIRE. SIMPLE STUFF BUT HOW IT HAS PAID OFF IN THEM TODAY. ...IN 1995 WE MOVED OUR YOUNG FAMILY OUT OF THE CITY TO A SMALL HISTORIC VILLAGE CALLED ROCHE PERCEE . THIS IS WHERE THE R.C.M.P. CAMPED AND RESTED THEIR TROOPS IN 1874 AND IS TODAY ON THE LIST OF TOURIST ATTRACTIONS FOR OUR PROVINCE. WHICH BY THE WAY I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO SPELL TILL I CAME HERE. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE DONE SOME TRAVELLING ON OUR OWN TOO AND HAVE SEEN THE BLUE SKIES OF MONTANA ...THE GAMBLING SPOTS OF DEADWOOD NORTH DAKOTA ...AND THE BEACHES OF MEXICO AND FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS WE HAVE SPENT TWO WEEKS EVERY JANUARY IN MONTEGO BAY JAMAICA... MY HUSBAND IS ON HIS 40TH YEAR WITH WESTMORELAND COAL AS A JOURNEYMAN ...Expand for more
WELDER AND I AM EMPLOYED WITH MARKS WORKWEAR IN ESTEVAN AS MERCHANDISE CO-ORDINATOR ....I HAVE
ALSO BEEN DOING THE LOCAL COMMUNITY NEWS FOR OUR VILLAGE AND IS PUBLISHED IN THE ESTEVAN PAPER FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS. OUR CHILDREN ARE ALL GROWN UP NOW AND GRADUATES OF THE ESTEVAN COMPREHENSIVE HIGHSCHOOL..JEN(CLASS OF 1998) ROBIN (CLASS OF 2000) MICHELLE (CLASS OF 2002) AND JEFF (CLASS OF 2004). THEY ARE ALL INDEPENDANT ADULTS WITH GREAT SENSES OF HUMOUR AND CARING HEARTS. WE COULDN'T BE HAPPIER WITH THEM. IN MAY OF 2003 WE BECAME THE PROUD GRANDPARENTS OF A BABY GIRL BORN TO JEN AND DARIN MCNABB AND THEY CALLED HER KARI. SHE HAS BEEN SUCH A JOY IN OUR LIVES AND TO HAVE BEEN IN THE DELIVERY ROOM ON THE NIGHT SHE WAS BORN WILL BE WITH ME FOREVER. WHAT AN HONOUR. THEY WENT ON TEO HAVE ANOTHER DAUGHTER HUNTER LEIGH IN OCTOBER OF 2004. OUR SECOND DAUGHTER ROBIN & MIKE (WITH HIS SONS RYDER & TUCKER AGED 8 & 4 ) LIVE A HALF HOUR AWAY. OUR THIRD DAUGHTER MICHELLE & DARCEY(HIS CHILDREN TRINITY 14,SAHARA 12 , & NATIUS 10) LIVE IN ESTEVAN . OUR SON JEFF IS SINGLE & LOOKING :) ON ANOTHER NOTE AND ONE THAT TOOK US DOWN A DIFFERANT PATH... IN APRIL OF 2003 MY HUSBAND TOOK ILL... TESTING WAS DONE VERY QUICKLY AND WE WERE SO VERY STUNNED TO LEARN THAT HE HAD MULTIPLE SCHLEROSIS. HE HAS FULLY RECOVERED FROM THE INITIAL ATTACK AND IS ON MEDICATION.WE ARE EXTREMELY THANKFUL FOR EACH DAY AND OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS WHO HAVE BEEN THERE FOR US IN GOOD AND IN BAD...SO IF THERE IS ANYONE OUT THERE WHO CAN CONNECT WITH US ON THIS ONE PLEASE DO..WE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU. OF INTEREST ....I AM STILL IN TOUCH WITH MARJORIE(CAMPBELL), PEARL(FLEWELLING), KAREN(ROXBURGH), AND MARIE(ROXBURGH), PAT HORNSBY, CATHY (BASINGER) JOHNSON , CHERYL(PRICKETT)LESLIE & MANY MORE THAT HAVE CONNECTED UP ON FACEBOOK . I AM SURE I HAVE GOT A LOT MORE BIOGRAPHY I COULD HAVE PUT IN HERE... MOST OF MY LIFE SINCE GRAD HAS BEEN ABOUT MY FAMILY AND THE SIMPLE THINGS ...TAKE CARE OUT THERE AND ENJOY LIFE. HOPE TO HEAR FROM THE CLASS OF '76 /77 :) TAKE CARE OUT THERE.
