Bald Eagle–a familiar site on the coast.

Bruce just left for the airport with the girls and Pete. He will be missed. The girls begged to stay home from school today, but they’d missed so much last week that we insisted they go.

Hanging with Uncle Bruce was a thrill for all three girls. They loved going to the beach with him and singing songs. He took them to the movie “Night at the Museum II.” Even little Pip enjoyed it. Yesterday they had time for a Kettle Valley hike and picnic.

We hope to find time to go to Waskesui, Sask, this summer and canoe. Bruce is an expert canoeist, who goes on week long treks. We plan to meet him next summer in Alberta for a canoe trip down the S. Saskatchewan near Drumheller–stopping to dig for fossils along the way.

I’m busy preparing my powerpoint presentation for class. I am looking forward to time off so I can rethink my thesis idea. I have a vision of excitement for my career path. And I need time to make it happen.

Lately I get thrills of excitement in my chest as though something exciting is about to happen soon. Every time I feel this way, within weeks or so, something really exciting does happen!

I must check to see if the Dalai Lama tickets are on sale yet.

This Friday I go to O’Keefe Ranch in Vernon with Tabs class. The Pip will come too.

The weather is full on summer! Love it!
