Special Days!

Another week has passed and we have continued our wanderings away from our hometown. The weather has been hot, hot, hot in the Okanagan where we spent the early part of the week. It has been more comfortable here in Edmonton where we have ended the week. On Wednesday, we took a 3.5 hour pontoon boat ride on the Okanagan sharing remembrances, sharing the sights that John loved so much, and finally dropping his ashes into the Okanagan. It was a special time for sure. We were able to share it with family and friends, and particularly were delighted to spend some days with dear friends Warren and Evelyn in their Vernon home. After that we turned our wheels north and east for a two-day drive to Edmonton. Eric/A were supposed to ride along with us on their bikes, but they ran into tire troubles north of Kamloops and were a day late getting here. We're enjoying the hospitality of niece and nephew, Dolly & Scott, along with our niece Tori. They are hosting more of the family at a reunion here. The food, fun and activities have been plentiful and meaningful. We capped off today with fireworks and a birthday celebration for Scott and myself. Thanks folks! Eric/A is here with us; and I heard from Erin and Travis & Joanna, so it was a complete family remembrance—thanks. Kristian has been at camp all week as a camper this time. We enjoyed a golf game today, and plan for more over the weekend. The markets continued their upward momentum and I was able to achieve a monthly quota for only the second time this year—it helps! The Blue Jays are playing better, but are not cutting into the Yankee lead at the top of the division. The Riders are not playing well at all—dropping their postponed Sunday game to Toronto, and then dropping another on Friday to the BC Lions. Changes are needed there! 

And that's about enough for this week.
