I have planned since Wednesday on a completely different post than this - I want to share some goodies I received recently in the mail and also a new little piece I completed..........HOWEVER that post will have to wait for a week or so.
Tomorrow I fly from Ontario to Vancouver (I am SUCH a nervous
flyer and coming and going is definitely the part of a trip like this that I dread. Ativan, here I come!)

Nicole, our eldest daughter will be accompanying me. She lived in Vancouver for six years and will be spending some of the time getting caught up with old friends. Keara and her boyfriend just returned from Vancouver after attending her cousin's wedding, seeing her grandpa and showing off all the marvels of this beautiful province to her boyfriend (who absolutely loved it).
By 4:00 pm Eastern time tomorrow, I will be in the land of enchanted forests,
tranquil waters and majestic mountains! Love Vancover!
My main reason for visiting however is to see my Dad. He is now 87 and within the last year he has become rather frail. It is really sad that a five hour flight separates us. He is pictured above on July 22, at my niece's wedding.
I'm borrowing Keara's laptop, however am not sure just what the wireless situation will be like once I am over in Gibson's (Sunshine Coast) where my Dad lives. If I can post I will.
When I return I hope to get back to posting regularly and also leaving comments on all my friends' blogs! (I have been reading them!)

Oh, Sue;;;;I hope you have a good visit ...it is so smoky out there just now because of all the forest fires.... it has drifted over the mountains here to us in Alberta...
Gibson's Landing? is that where your Dad is? from the old tv series? ... can't even remember the name of the show now....
I wish we could all be closer to family and friends.... hours by plane seems long...and for me...driving 6 hours to see my sis is long too... and flying is getting sooo expensive, plus where she lives...I still have to expect somebody to drive an hour to pick me up..or rent a car to drive to her place...sigh.... we are just not like we used to be in the "olden" days... nobody lives just down the block from family anymore do they?
Hi Vee,
Yes, Gibson's is where the old Beachcombers series was filmed. It is really quaint and very cool. Some neat little shops and gorgeous scenery.
Sue:)
Have a great time, Sue!
