Where are you? We were in Dartmouth for 3 years before we came to Victoria. We enjoyed it there but the weather got to be almost as old as we are after a while.

Ha. The one and only Rock. St. John’s to be precise.

I’m willing to bet our weather is even worse than NS. Certainly no better.

Or, as my wife and I always say to each other when we return “Why are we here?”

ouch!

yeah, I know. This place has its charms. Weather isn’t one of them. Still, it’s a beautiful day here in our garden. Ms. D and I are about to enjoy an evening meal outside. Ya gotta be thankful for what you’ve got!

We’ll be in Kelowna in September, so we’ll see how the other half live. ?
