It was a good and sunny day, we walked a talked down by the river in several of the trails that wander through the woods and marsh. All was well until the topic turned to the possibility of snakes. Well after the topis was going home ;-)  

Hum.... 

The budding photographer 

A little holiday.. a little rest.

I just finished a week of holiday. It was good... very good. I spent some time doing a little of everything. And half that time spent with my grandson Justin who by the way is growing into a fine young man. We had Super Soaker fights and played video games, swimming and walked down the river with the Sammy the family dog. We had fun pictures will follow.

Holidays

Well I'm two days into a one week holiday and beginningt to feel better. I had been sick for awhile and it seems the cure was killing me. Bad drug reactions to several perscriptions left me wasted but I'm on the rebound. I finaly got my UBUNTU CD's and I must say it is a good setup. Relearning a completely new OS has given me a challenge but I guess I'm always up for that. Once I get the language down I'm sure it will come to me. Linux Distros are becoming more user friendly all the time. I have even found a few small distros that work well on old PC's. Like Feather and DSL. Well Wed. I'm off to Kelowna to pickup Justin, I'm looking forward to that. Well thats all for now see ya when I see Ya

This here little little lady made me breakfast in bed, what kid I got eh? 

And this be Jackie! 

Me and the Kris up above the city... we three took a drive on daddy's day. The picture was compliments of Jackie. 

Daddy got a new set of wheels! 

Monday In Kamloops

Hi Folks,
It's been a while since my last post. I must confess I have been suffering the summer time bah's. Between alergies sinus infections and some misterious stomach ailment I have been remiss to write. But I have found a quiet moment to record my thoughts. Kamloops has been unusually wet for this time of year. The rain is welcome though, the summer heat will come soon enough and we will all be hiding from the heat. I have some holidays coming soon. I'm looking forward to seeing Justin we are going to get a few days together in early July. And then back to work for a few weeks. Then two weeks off in August. Jackie, Kristine and I are Qualicum Beach bound for a visit with my Dad & Carol. Jackie and I are looking forward to taking an two day trip by bicycle to Hornby Island. A little R&R at a bed and breckfast and seeing the sights including Tribune Bay. We just bought a new car (well new to us) and looking forward to the trip. Well thats all for now. But remember folks, no matter where you go....... there you are!

Two Goom-bahs havin fun.

Grandpa gives Xavier the big raspberry. 

Xavier found a place on granpa's lap. I think he is the bee's knees. 

My little grandson Xavier came to visit. He was fascinated by the yellow flowers at the mission. Our time was short but I enjoyed every minute of it. 

It's Wednesday

The day is unfolding as it should. We are enjoying great weather and life abounds where ever you look. I am glad my allergies have subsided, I was rather sick for a few days. Life at the mission is simply whizzing along.

This guy skimmed the ground for a long time before gravity said come home 

This guy flew over top looking straight down at me. 

This one was kinda cool. 

There where some great pilots doing some great stuff 

I spent the Sunday May long week-end shooting the skydivers here for the annual May event. Here are a few samples 

It's Saturday morning here at the Loops and all is quiet. I have just risen from slumber and looked through a few pictures sent to us by my daughter Jessica. Most are of my new grandson Xavier. This one is my favorite.  

A beautiful chair a beautiful girl.

This guy loved the smell of Jackie's gloves 

Just some wire and a tree 

A little shy 

Jackie and I rode home from her work in Valleyview. It is about 40k return. We stopped in the Rez and had a little visit with the horses. They have quite the personality
