recently I had to work on the desktop computer because my laptop was being a bit fussy, and I spent some lovely moments checking out pictures…  the desktop shares pictures with the laptop but it doesn’t work the other way around… found some lovely ones of the garden and George… also reminded me of how long ago some things happened…

it always seems like it was just a couple of years ago that something took place, but when you check out the pictures you realize it might be that six or eight years have passed…

also spent some time going through photo albums and I took out a great one that Cyndi had made for us from our family trip to Courtenay… I realize that it was five years ago…

the top of Mount Washington was rather cool…

it reminded me of the trip across the country with the kids, and meeting up with everyone else there…  George was slowly recovering from his heart failure and couldn’t drive out with us… the doctor advised that he needed to fly which would be less of a stress on his body…  Crystal and Jeff and the two boys drove out around the same time and we had a lovely time together and got to see all the special places around Courtenay…

fun time at Goose Spit…

we all loved Goose Spit and had a wiener roast on the beach together… that year, on our anniversary, we took the little boys for a walk along the Puntledge early in the morning so that all the grownups could sleep in a bit…

it was a wonderful time and we had an adventure when we took a wrong path and wandered down a tiny waterway that didn’t really go anywhere… we saw slugs and bugs, and I got a wonderful picture of George and the boys stretching their arms out to circle one of the very large trees…

George and the boys stretching to reach around the tree…

wow, five years… amazing what things have happened in that time…  how my life has changed…
