May 19 - Victoria Day and a glimpse of summer


We are finally getting hot, shorts weather. It was great to be home when everyone else was traveling and on the road. We caught up with friends, and puttered in the garden and Ted and Richard got the VW ready for sale. It looks very spiffy, somebody is going to be lucky. With a tune-up and new muffler, it is ready to roll. We already had a call from Stu and Tara (and Gavin??) not to put it on the market. They came by to test drive it yesterday so it looks like it's sold without hitting the papers. Ted has been scrubbing everything out - you could eat your dinner off the counters now. It has all the bells and whistles that anybody needs to camp out in western Canada and to cope with cold weather in the mountains - a big plus.
It was great to have a visit from Stu/Tara and Gavin's special friend Debbie from Toronto for the long weekend. Exciting news is a baby is on the way in Cochranefor late November, a first grandchild for both. tara looks radiant as she did at the wedding in UK. No wonder they looked so happy (see inset)
