New Adventures

It was with mixed emotions that we returned and left the Okanagan. We only had a short time, seven days in which to get reacquainted with family and family. Many things went unsaid but God willing we will say them in six months or so after our newest adventure. First stop and the one that we have most look forward to, a visit with the grandchildren. And as per the Official Rules and Regulations of the Grandparents Handbook, find enclosed the requisite number of cute pictures that we are required to post after each visit. Ronan is four and while he doesn't rule the roost like he used to as he must now share that with his sister, he continues to be a dynamo of creative energy and activity. His sister Isla is still a happy and content little girl. But when made necessary by her brother chauvinistic attitude on toy ownership, she can quickly display an iron will to get her way.

Sadly our time was short and we moved on for a short visit with Nonie's sister Lynda and another wonderful turkey dinner with our thirty something nieces and nephews and thier children. They are all so busy with their careers and family, I was exhausted just being around them. Ahhh, to still have that much energy at the end of the day. It was a fabulous ending to our short sojourn in Canada. Next stop England and the beginning of our African adventure. Stay tuned.
