Bid Euchre

Had fun today with 6 friends who came for a pot luck turkey dinner and we played bid euchre. We always enjoy this.
I stopped at the new Info Center for tourists on Hwy 176. It's been there a year now and never see too many people there. You are greeted with the painted bear and RCMP one as well.

Fun with Stan and Sylvia

Ron's niece Sylvia and Stan were is Victoria for his niece's wedding reception on the weekend and came here today. We met them for dinner at the Olive Garden and then led them to their hotel and visited some more. Had a great time seeing them. This picture is the only one I have from way back in 2007 but also includes Ron's sister Gisela. Definitely time to go to Kitimat and visit with the family in the spring.

Jump Charge Marketing

This is the new business James and Suzanne launched at the 2 workshops the past 2 Thursdays. Great info and great attendees. Their businesses ran from bed and breakfast, photography, dog training to real estate and more. Very interesting for me. Business today is so different from when I quit working in 2002.

Off to the Ferry

I took Buster for a walk last night and once he got going, he broke into a gallop and I was flying down the street after him. We had to say goodbye this morning and head to the 8:30 ferry.
Suz and the girls are going to Bellingham for back to school shopping. A tremendous saving.

Facebook, Linked In and Twitter Workshop

We had the 2nd half of Jame and Suzanne's workshop today and once again very informative and well received. Chris even started a Facebook group for the attendees. These business owners were the nicest audience and very spontaneous with their sharing of information. I was impressed by all. It was such fun for me to help and be involved in a business environment again.
The next best part was lunch at Smitty's Oyster Bar.

Pre-op Prep at VGH

Ron and I spent 3 hours at Van Gen Hospital for tests and info. He was assessed by Dr. Gordon, Dept. Head, and will have 1 of their 18 cardiology anesthetist specialists. We felt completely reassured by all the care taken. He's booked for the open heart surgery Sept. 2 and can't wait to get it done. Our brother-in-law, Jack came by and visited with us for an hour.

A Gibson Day

Suzanne and I went to church by ourselves today. They have the nicest congregation at St. Bart's and a new minister.
The deer comes to visit the front yard daily.



Buster sleeps in his bed, paws in the air.




Hana and I did some sewing. She made a pillow of white fur on the front and black and gold/brown diamonds on the back. It was the first tine either of us had sewn on fake fur, a gift from aunty Penny.








Lexi and I do our usual Sudoko.
