Hi
Patty, it was a tough loss for the Leafs tonight. It is
surprising how many Leaf fans come out of the woodwork here in Victoria
when the Canucks are no longer around. With time off for greiving
and loss, this part of the country is joining the Calgary
bandwagon! Go FLAMES!
Aunt
Patty I have fond memories of seeing you on the Miramichi in late April
in recent years - I am instead opting to visit the river in early July
this year to try my luck with the first run of bright salmon. I
was thinking we are due for a Douglastown breakfast ! (If you are in
the neighbourhood) :-)

Please keep Mark's babies in your
prayers. Patrick and Mathew have both returned to hospital as they have
contracted a bad cold. Mathew is really struggling.
Also, Aunt Eleanor (Joey's wife)
had a heart attack this week. I understand she is doing fairly well.
I hope I have better news to
report next time.
Saturday
This is sad news....best to Patrick and Mathew and hope Aunt Eleanor is
doing okay.
Victoria is starting to spring to life with all of the tourists - the
cruise ships have begun stopping by and the population downtown
suddenly swells out of the blue by a few thousand. I saw two
ships docked this am. They look like floating apartment buildings
on their sides. As of the May long weekend, the tourist traffic
from the ferries really kicks in and then you spend a few months
avoiding downtown all together. John (a local..:-)

Hi Everyone,
Just to let everyone
know....Mom is doing fine (Eleanor) and she has some test coming up
this week. They are still trying to rule out angina. We all
hope that it is just her cholecystitis or just reflux. She goes
friday for her cardiac scan. I will write again when I have more
news. Bonnie
Hope
everything will be okay Bonnie. Welcome to the Gill Net
Lodge! There is a rule that people who post for the first time
have to post at a minimum once a week for at least a month! :-)

Hi everyone,
I am off to Sasktoon tomorrow
morning for a conference. I will be staying there until the
morning of the 2nd and then am renting a car to drive to Edmonton to
see JoAnn. It should be a real adventure. I am not sure
where everyone lives these days, so if any of you are in the area, I am
staying at the Delta in Sasktoon and would love to have a coffee (or
something stronger). All the best....ME
