Well, Dad is still in the Hospital.  Medical Inpatient Unit.

It feels like such a tragedy to see this happening to such a hard-working, life enjoying man.
His appetite has disappeared, his eyes are failing, he can hardly hear.  Yet, he is still pretty sharp!
He may forget what day it is, but, who wouldn't when you are in the hospital?  Each day is pretty much like every other day!  Especially when you are bed-ridden.

The men, and women, from that generation cannot be duplicated!  When these guys are gone, society will have suffered a huge loss.  Those of us, from the "modern" generations, are no match for the courage, determination, hard work, tenacity, sense of duty, common sense, and, many other qualities that are becoming more and more difficult to find.

Those old guys, and this one in particular, are "the heroes of this country".  They will ALL be sorely missed.

Just got back from a quick trip to Kamloops.

The oldest (step) grand-daughter graduated.  Wonderful weekend and not bad Chinese food for dinner also.

The "Grad" ceremony took place over the entire weekend!  Wow, when I graduated (high school), I was allowed to stay out late one night.  Kids now days, have much more fun!!

Hope they all stayed safe!!

Saw a post on "Fat Guys Fly Fishing" and just had to try it.
Grilled Steak (cheap cuts marinated), new potatoes with onions and celery, and grilled asparagus.

Took only a few minutes to prepare, and a few more to cook.

"Awesome Lady" really enjoyed it.
