Lisa and I played tennis twice while in Burnaby and once more since returning to Honeymoon Bay. Lisa fit in one long bike ride and we continue to walk twice a day. We were pleased to learn that seven of my photo submissions were selected for inclusion in a local 2017 calendar. More than 250 people voted on those entries which had been shortlisted to select thirteen photos in all. We are especially happy and honored that Vecsey will appear as a calendar girl!
We spent the first two weeks of the month on Rarotonga and then returned to the Lower Mainland. Lisa had a few workshops to attend, so we stayed in Burnaby and Langley for ten days. While in the Cook Islands it was about fish and flowers, but while in the Lower Mainland it is often about food and flowers. Once again it was nice to reconnect with people face to face, but trying to coordinate schedules with everyone proved impossible. It was especially great to reconnect with former students after nine years! We ended up having a few beers and chatting for 5.5 hours until 1 am. Hopefully we don't wait so long to do it again. We also finally got to see George & Joan back in their newly renovated home. We met friends and family for meals, drinks, coffee, and chats. Not only was it nice to see Joe again, it was great to meet Janelle in person for the first time. It's also nice to still be welcomed when we arrive unannounced - thanks Karyn! We always enjoy spending time with Katrina no matter what the activity (ie. moulding Playdough, playing boardgames, scootering, playing at the park, and visiting in the hot-tub). When we finally returned to Honeymoon Bay, June accompanied us for another visit to the island. We'd been away for almost an entire month, so the lawn was in dire need of mowing and the plants badly needed watering. June wasted no time tending to the gardens - watering, weeding, planting, and pruning (only being halted by the presence of snakes!). I managed to get the lawn mowed and do some pruning before the evening rain arrived. We ran errands and did lots of grocery shopping to restock our reserves. We also had time to watch some movies and do plenty of visiting.
