Well I know these are late getting up ...these pictures of Barry and Marv golfing ..happen before Bare's surgery. We had to take our fifth wheel over for it's yearly check up in Salmon Arm...so we all figured why not try some golfing ...seeing we can go fishing ...boohoo. So here they are better late then never...this was my first time golfing and what a blast ..willing to try that golfing again. Marv and Sandra(live in Salmon Arm) then had us back for an awesome dinner ...and thanks for making us so welcome. Hey Sandra one day we will show these boys how to golf ..hehehe.





I want to thanks Mrs Miles and GrumpyPup for your prayers and your comments ...please keep those prayers coming . I know all of you have been praying or keeping those fingers cross for Bare and his smoking ..well he did buy a package ...he says he is going to really try and quit ....so please keep those prayers going and those fingers cross. Melissa and I are.
So barry and I thought we would drive out and see how the lakes were doing ..boohooboohoo...still frozen .
So I hope ...here's a couple of pictures of Edith Lake ...

Well this last week has been a very uplifting week for our daughter
Patty
She has been working on getting her Grade 12 ..
and I mean a graduated Grade 12,
ceremony and all.
Well she learned at the beginning of the week that her teachers had put her name in for
Recognition for Academic Achievement
a bursary set up by Reg McNamara
(a teacher that passed away a few years ago with cancer.....)
she knew nothing about it....till they phoned her .
She was more honored more then words can say ....that these teachers saw and watched her
and honored her enough to do this.
We are very proud of her ..she has worked hard to get here.
WAY TO GO PATTY !!!!
