My FIRST art lesson

This is the first painting I did in my art lesson last week, Liz (my teacher) said it was good, even if I did put the humming birds thin bill in the wrong place............. Next week may try line dancing !!!!

A British"BOBBY"

Jim was a "K9" officer in England.

I was ask what Jim looked like in his Police uniform........
Well here he is.


Getting his "Long service medal"

YES, That is a moustache, Jim only lost that 6-7 years ago.


With the 2nd love of his life "Dana"

She was the only bitch he trained, and we lost her to cancer when she was 5 years old.

The list is still growing.

We were all sitting chatting the other day, and someone said to us full timer's "It must be strange not having a home base" This got me thinking HOME !!!!!!!!! To me this is where ever Jim is, (corny but true). Then I thought BASE !!!!!!!!!!! We have a bases. One in England with our two girls, we also have a base on the farm in Alberta, with our best mates (also family) Richard & Marlus. We also have a base somewhere in Arizona with our first RVing friend Sandy (she is moving soon so please send us 'our' new address Sandy.) plus we have a base in New York with friends Bob & Barb, spent a great few days there this summer. We got a new home base this year in Pennsylvania with good friends Lee & Judy. So I think we are very very lucky, and doing a lot better than most. And it goes without saying, that our home base in England can be added to all their home base lists.

Getting Fit ....

As you can see, we are TRYING to get fit. We play every day at 9am till 11am, then again at 4pm till it gets too dark to see. But there is talk that Debbie has some lights to put up around the court.
It's so nice to be back at Peace River and meet up with all our old friends from the last two winters here.
I've had a few visits down the river, (miss you Bob) and The Old Fossil Club has started off well, 9 people came to join me the first day. We meet on a Monday Thursday and Saturday. I'm getting used to being called and introduced to people as the "Fossil Queen."
