Reflecting on the year...... we had two trips to NB, one in March, one in October...family focus and very memorable.
Camping with grandchildren was a highlight of the summer as well as four trips camping with friends. We do get a lot of use out of our trailer!
Our six pack managed three getaways together, one to Whistler in June for Fathers Day, one to Kelowna for a biking experience on the Kettle Valley Railway in Myra Canyon and one to Royston in November. What an honour to have such great friends!
The Fall brought our group activities... Rose with Community choir, cards, quilting and study groups.
She bought an e bike this summer so the wonky knee didn't hold her back, love doing the two hills on our street.
Dave found either the pickle ball court or hockey arena five of the seven days in the week. He dabbled in odd jobs and painting for friends so continues to be our 'ever ready bunny" with his garden and yard work filling in any spare moments!
We had a lovely Victoria getaway weekend in November to see Celtic Thunder and then theatre on the way home in Chemanius. Special.
Company from our Melaque circle of friends was a pleasant treat in the summer and fall. They seemed to be impressed with our Port Alberni and what it has to offer. Now we are together here with our Saturday evening games night and beach time together.
Now back to our winter home, warm and friendly with a few changes. There are always changes... restaurants move or close, our laundry personnel changes, the price of fruit and gasoline increased,
a new pastor and his wife at our church and a rumour of a four story, twenty four unit condo building going up between us and the beach. That will be the most serious change for us, view compromised and many more folks on our quiet little street.
I have been attempting to get photos on my blog but there seems to be a glitch. The only one that comes through has nothing to do with 2018 but I did receive it in 2018.
This photo is from a memory bank. My brother just sent it, taken in his summer home on PEI.
I had no idea that the furniture still existed!
At the age of sixteen, my folks were away for a weekend and I decided the antique furniture needed some colour so went to Kent's Hardware in Bathurst and bought four little tins of pastel colours and had a pleasant surprise ready when my parents got home!! HMMMMM! I have blocked out the initial reaction!
so, until I get get the photo issue sorted, will sign off and produce a 2018 photo album at a later date.
cheers, Feliz Navidad y Feliz Ano Nuevo!!
