Happy father's day





Neil Bailey and Darcy Folk were in town yesterday and there was a birthday celebration for Neil but we were not able to make a connection to get to it. However, Neil and Darcy did join us at Bonanza for lunch and later we had a good visit at Jennifer and John's place where we had ice cream cake. But speak about cakes! After Sunday worship service several of the ladies made a variety of cakes all celebrating father's day. They did a terrific job of decorating them. But what was most unexpected was one of the African ladies in our church Comfort Brewer presented Jean Malm, and Ruth and me with a traditional African outfit. (It was to honor those in the church who were substitute fathers and mothers. In Africa there is much more of a fuss over fathers and mothers than there is here.) We put the outfits on for the picture.

Radishes from the garden

The first two radishes from what I planted about a month ago. They were juicy and tangy and quite delicious.

33 Years ago!


This is a picture of me holding Jennifer in my left hand and she is standing on her own at 4 months of age. This has become sort of a tradition in our family since I saw a picture of my mom holding my younger brother Peter when he was about that old. This picture was taken about August in 1976.

Bathroom reno

Andrew and I did a bathroom renovation at one of the rentals. We replaced the lino, the toilet (a 3 litre + 6 litre flush) and the sink and vanity.

Corinne Lamb has gone to a better place

Beside the picture of Corinne Lamb is Aysia, Kelly, Emily, Jacob, Cory, Adam, Candace, Victoria, Krista and Susan and the baby Alexander. Susan did a wonderful job of a Power-Point slide show for the memorial service. I was able to slip away from my second period class to get to the funeral service and after a quick lunch (which was also wonderful), I got back to work with 6 minutes to spare for my 1:00 class.
