'Island Dwellers'

Hello -
I feel guilty not having posted for ages....but we are on holiday! It is hard to imagine that we are nearing the end of our stay on the Island. We spent one month in Victoria and are now settled in Sidney for the rest of our stay here. So far, so good. We had visitors - first Karyn & Elena & Jim. The girls enjoyed 'tea' at the Empress & of course we had our treat of fish 'n chips. Coleen & OJ came on the Clipper from Seattle & stayed Friday-Saturday. We went to Chemainus dinner theatre - walked, shopped, visited, got caught up with the latest family affairs.This past Saturday we went as foot passengers on the ferry to Vancouver. Aaron met us & we all went to Janice's for a sumptuous breakfast & had a good 'heart to heart' visit.We invited Aaron & Patti for Easter dinner & hope we can enjoy this time together & get to know Patti better.
Our computers keep us busy. We walk a lot even though the weather has not been that exciting - mostly overcast with a limited amount of sunshine. But it is nice to get out into the fresh air. Grandpa has done quite a bit of reading. I have worked on some quilting projects - brought my little portable Singer sewing machine. First article of furniture Grandpa bought me after we were married.It still can sew a mean seam (I did take it in for maintenance)
It is amazing that we meet people at Church with whom we have had some past 'connections'.Small, small world.
Grandpa has watched the curling Tim Horton'a Briar. Alberta has been undefeated thus far.
We have met some interesting 'Snow Birds'
We love to receive e-mail & thank you all that have e-mailed or blogged/ We feel quite close to you even though we are far away.
Love to all
G & G
