fun on Bowen 2012






Posted by Picasa
July 28 Saturday 2012 Bowen Island we had a good time on Bowen Island. Sherri and the twins came Thursday and we had a good time on the beach. Friday Bill took me for dinner at Doc's and Saturday we were here for the farmers market where I bough fresh home made bread. I went to the library to see if I could open pictures sent as an attachment of our time on the CV9 but no one knew how to unblock the security hot mail put on. Noon we leave for Center Bay weather great sunshine. REMEMBER-Believe in yourself and there is no limit to what you can accomplish

finally an update

July 23 Monday 2012 time to up date We got out in the boat for 3 days before our generator and alternator acted up so returned to BYC. Shannon had an open house on the CV9 while they were in Vancouver. I forgot my camera but Dina took pictures and I am waiting for them to email them to me. Ethan and Shannon left for Alaska with a stop in Princes Louisa,Ocean Falls and Sherawater before Kitchacan. The boss doesn’t arrive until the beginning of August. Our 48th anniversary was celebrated with Hudson and Dina at the Chelsea restaurant. Sherri made an ocean cake for Bill for his 70th complete with a salmon dinner.Saturday I went with Sharon to the fusion festival in Surrey ,quite a few countries were represented .Now an update on our furniture delima-they finally removed the 5 pieces of furniture that were not suitable.(We do not know when the correct stuff will be delivered but we said we will be boating now until September). We also returned the glass kitchen table and will shop for that in Sept too. We hope to go to Bowen Island for 3 days .Sherri will bring the twins and spend the night. Next Center Bay for a few days then Gibsons and Ekins. REMEMBER-This day is a door to a whole new set of possibilities- open it.

July 07 Saturday 2012 One wouldn't think more things could go wrong but they did. Our toilet doesn't flush properly. Plumber coming Monday. Good thing we have another bathroom. Shannon arrived safe and sound. Sherri cooked dinner ( I still do not have a working table). We had a great visit. Saturday my cousin Dwight was in town from Australia and his sister Shelly had a wonderful get together even my brother Mervin was there. REMEMBER-wishes are more powerful than worries

Canada Day 2012

painting class in garage

June 5 Thursday 2012 We are getting nowhere fast, one problem after another. Our coffee and end tables arrived in boxes and had to be assembled, and not from Ikea .Bill tacked the coffee table and one end table but the 3rd end table with a drawer proved too much so he returned it and is having them assemble. Next the kitchen dropleaf glass table has megga problems, as the leaves will not open on either side, a screw came out and one leg is crocked. A man came out today and took pictures and will see about getting us a new one. Then the satalite dish man came to hook up satalite and the power went out of 2 hours. He is back today and hopefully everything works . Out of the 7 pieces of furniture we order we had to send 5 back a mixture of wrong measuring( they did the measurements thankfully) and a misunderstanding. Needless to say Bill is not a happy camper. My saving grace is the grandchildren. Gerry picked me up and we went to Canada Day celebrations at Rocky Point Port Moody. A good time was had by all. They next saving grace is that our daughter who works on a yatch is arriving Friday for 4-5 days. Another help for me to get my mind off all the problems is I had painting classes in our garage that worked very well. REMEMBER-Give yourself a fresh start. Look ahead not back
