Well, Dad is still in the system. He is still at Worthington and seems settled.
That is good.
Unfortunately, just heard that another family friend has passed away. Dot Curley. Dot, and her deceased husband Adam, were amongst the first people that my Mom and Dad met in Vancouver. Right after Mom and Dad got married. They have been friends ever since.
Dot and Adam helped my parents get started on their first home. They played a large part in my parents early married life. They were both really great people. The kind that are getting harder and harder to find.
She will be missed, by her family, and, by all those that were her friends.
Living, and working, in Mission. Currently working on my very old 13' Trillium, which will look significantly different when I am done. Working on my fly fishing and trying to improve my "idle beach bum" skills. I have been blessed with an "Awesome Lady" for a life partner and we are very fortunate to be able to live the way we do. Hard work, common sense.

Had a decent little trip to the "secret lake" known as Tunkwa last week. Weather was really good and the fishing was pretty decent also. Managed to score a few decent fish, enough to put the effort into bringing some home for family and friends. The biggest was probably a bit over 5 pounds.
Too bad, but, this will probably be my only fishing trip this year.
I would like to go again in the fall, it will depend on whether I can get more time off. Since I have already had quite a bit off, it may be a little dicey.

Arlene
Got the news, last evening, that a friend of ours, Arlene, had passed away.
She had been in hospital for quite a while. Christine Morrison Pavilion lately.
Great person, very caring, energetic, interesting, smart, dynamic, outspoken, determined. All the best that a person could be.
I have only known her for the last ten years. I really wish that it could have been lots longer.
My condolences to her family, and my prayers for her.
