Posts from — January 2019

So, you have probably noticed that we are really behind in posts for 2018. In fact since Hawaii in January of 2018 we have not posted a single thing.

So, without further stalling or debating here is a brief capsule of 2018.

Immediately after we got back from Hawaii we headed to Vancouver to see Jake Shimabukuro perform. Wow, what a show he puts on, so  check out his web page, a true master of the ukulele. While in Vancouver we also took in the Vancouver Home Show.

Near the end of February we moved Brenda’s dad Murray to Pine Grove Extended Care Centre. It was the first choice of care facilities and even though it is a little older, the folks that work there are excellent and plus it is reasonably handy for Brenda’s mom Joan (GGMa) who is still at The Shores. GGma rides her scooter over when the weather is good and takes the Handi-Dart Bus at other times.

In March we headed to Silver Star for our annual Ski Vacation with the family. Great time was had by all. Lots of laughs, lots of skiing and lots of love.

Then April and May arrived and with it trips to see grandkids and the time just flew by.

In June we headed to Quebec City and toured the Eastern Townships. Quebec City was beautiful and lots to see even though we have been there before. Our last few days in Quebec City we celebrated St. Jean Baptiste on the Plains of Abraham along with 50,000 other Canadians.

July we were off to Victoria and Surrey with Sage and Conrad for a summer getaway. Victoria has so much to see and do plus lots of shopping for the kids. They love shopping when they travel since they don’t have the greatest selection of stuff to buy in Princeton. From Victoria we then headed over to Surrey and had dinner at Mike and Rose’s. What a great evening having all the family from the area over for dinner.

August and the wildfire smoke was back this summer. Hard to go outside, your eyes burnt and many days we could not see across the valley and on the really bad days we could not even see 6 blocks. However, we still found time to have Namma and Pops Summer Camp with Zach and Oliver. Part of this years summer camp was in Kamloops and part of the summer camp was in Kelowna. Jeff and Lindsay were away playing Ultimate Frisbee in Vancouver.

September we were back down to Kelowna to look after the grand-kids while Jeff and Lindsay headed off to The Emmy Awards in Los Angeles.

October was when we held our annual Reunion with our very special friends. This years location was Kamloops.

November came along and we made a quick trip to Princeton to drop off some birthday presents. then over to Kelowna to drop off some birthday and Christmas presents.

Finally December was here and with it Christmas preparation. We were so lucky this year to spend Christmas with Kevin, Tamara, Sage and Conrad what a lot of fun.

With that, 2018 was over and done.

So stay tuned for 2019.
