Hilary spoiling the boys

Hilary made a breakfast for champions for Spencer and Shayd today. Wish I was there for it!
 

Spencer in Vancouver

Spencer, the oldest son of Joe and Marcy in Sarnia (20), is visiting Hilary and Shayd in Vancouver. He accompanied a friend from Sarnia who is starting a coop placement in Kelowna, BC. They drove all the way through Northern Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta to BC. I am planning to make that drive during the summer of 2022, assuming that by then things are more "normal" again with respect to the COVID pandemic. We will see.

Hilary sent us the photo above yesterday when she went for a walk around Stanley Park with Spencer.

April snow again

As every year, we get some late snow. April 21 this time, Last year it was in early May....

I started on a second draft for my fiction book. Part 1 still in southern Africa region. But now developing a plot which can continue in part 2 (Colombia) and part 3 (Brazil). This will keep me busy for a while, I am sure. But it is fun trying to figure out how the story can develop + write, read, revise, look up some stuff on the internet, write again, etc.

Hello April

I finished my "book" (Little we know; a life full of travel with an open mind) and shared copies with Hilary & Shayd, Mark & Carly, Han, Ger & Bert, Sue & Ralph and Joe & Marcy. The household in Sarnia received their copy today via the mail; Marcy send a nice message and photo to confirm.

Walking along the canal yesterday urged me to make these two photos....
