A great memory


Hi there,

Long time no post. I haven't had much blog-worthy content to offer lately, unless you want to hear about going to work, the last night of sand volleyball and some casual singing and guitar playing.
What I DO have is a blast from my past. A memory of a family vacation to BC. It was 1975. Mom, Dad, all four kids and Frisky the dog, packed in a 1974 Chevy Bel Air station wagon. What were my parents thinking??! Mary was only 2½! Some great memories came from that trip. Fresh-picked Penticton cherries, starfish, a forest fire, a bear in Revelstoke National Park, sleeping on the beach at Pacific Rim National Park with cousin Peggy, cousin Daryl's new grammar (StaBOP, StaBOP!) and the camper trailer whipping left and right behind us as we crossed the Prairies. Yet another Trip of a Lifetime.

My parents must have been out of their minds taking on this adventure, but I am very, very thankful for it.
