Trevor loves to play soccer. "I have played all my life" says Trevor and plan to keep playing for years to come. I need to commit to a team sport for exercise or it is too easy to put it off for another day. I love the excitement of the game and also enjoy the people I meet. Soccer players form a community just like embroiderers. It is easy to find people from all around the world that share my love for soccer and/or embroidery. Even in Canada, the heartland of hockey, participation in soccer is the number one sport. We play year round in Saskatoon, outdoor in the summer and then we move indoor for the winter. The Paladins play in a masters division for people over 35. The photo above was taken in September after the Paladins won our masters division in the last game of the outdoor season.

Trevor travelled to Pattaya, Thailand to participate in the Janome International Conference. There were delegates from over 40 countries that enjoyed classes and a tour of the Janome factory in Thailand. The conference was held at the beautiful Royal Cliff Resort and the photos above were taken at the resort.

We visited the Nong Nooch Tropical Garden and as usual, Trevor had a good time. He managed to get into the elephant show, a story to tell for years to come.
