Why Do We Keep Leaving?

Six weeks have come and gone quickly since our return from eastern Canada. Busy, busy, busy! Nonie and her sister Lynda successfully packed and moved a five bedroom house over 3,000 kilometres. We had some time to reconnect with family and friends. Some golf, some quilting, but most of all, some serious LazeeBoy time.

So as I kill time waiting for yet another airplane, I ponder the question, "Why do we leave?". I have to mention that I am killing time in the executive class lounge at the Vancouver Airport. Air Canada in all it's wisdom decided to reward me with a excutive class seat for my trip back to Ontario which gives me access to the lounge at the airport. I am currently sipping a nice Malbec and deciding what to have from the lunch buffet. Thanks Air Canada though I think it is payback for that scary trip into St. John's.

But I digress. Back to the question "Why do we leave?". Penticton is a joy to live in so why do we continue to leave it, so often. At this point I was going to start a top ten list of the reasons we live in Penticton but the following statement kind of says it all. "It has everything and anything one would want or need in a place to live. " Saves a lot or writing and really a picture is worth a thousand words.

But I digress. Back to the question "Why do we leave." Why?

"Because we can!"

There will come a time in our life when we won't be able to leave and as long as we can, we will continue to explore the world and have adventures. All the while, knowing that we have Penticton to come back to.
