Prince George
Hello from Prince George, BC. We visited our nephew, Ed and his lovely and talented wife Amber. Ed is a contractor and they (because they are an excellent team) have built this house, (that they live in) and are working on the lot next door, a house already sold, and have a 3rd and fourth lot they are building from new or gutting and re-doing. We really enjoyed getting to know these two - we missed a lot of Ed's growing up years, but he is a nephew that we are very proud of. His building skills and detail are evident - I have never seen such meticulously tidy worksites, and his innovations for heating houses in the north are fascinating. We even had a round of par 3 golf with them! Hooray!
We were able to get Laurie's new Visa and again, we were very pleased with the help from TD in getting us on our way.
Last night, we hooked up with Barb's girlfriend from school days. Sharon and I were in the same classes from Grade 4-11 and stayed close throughout UBC. We hadn't seen each other since 1983, and boy we covered a lot of ground in catching up in just one evening. (We might have had a little wine too!) I don't even think Laurie was too bored, he was certainly patient in trying to "get a word in edgewise". What a funny expression that is.
