Amanda:
“Life feels a little bit crazy right now! I recently went to Kelowna with my brother for the across-the-lake swim and a triathlon. I’m even planning to cross the English Channel (Okay she's not her brother is. duh!). And on a lighter note—I’m becoming a bit of a snobby sommelier!”

“I’ve taken up cycling and spent the summer on the Confederation Trail (well not past tense future tense). And I have to say, I’m still impressed with the Dutch food spelling from last week!” (and supercalifragilisticexpialidocious)

Marylou:
“I’ve been having some great discussions with Oscar about why the world works the way it does. Tomorrow, we’re off to the cabin, and soon we’ll head to Science World to see the Lego exhibit. Oh, and I absolutely loved Waitress!

John Marquardt:
“I lost my boat in a windstorm—it crashed into a dock. Let’s just say Darcy and I have had an eventful time on the water!”

Chris P.:
“This summer, I’ve been a pink cycle bunny (pictured on Garth's golf shirt), mostly staying local. I had a spa and restaurant trip in Whistler, discovered a cool Squamish restaurant on TikTok, and spent some time downtown at the beach with breakfast at the Sylvia.”

Judy:
“I drove up to Penticton to visit with Spencer’s family, floated down the canal with the grandkids, and accidentally ended up on the Coquihalla instead of stopping at Manning Park Lodge. I’ve been buying books as the grandkids move up a grade—my granddaughter loves shopping!”(no shopping in Birch Bay though - taking psychedelics for shoppers withdrawal.)

Debbie M.:
“I spent some time in Kelowna helping Miles with his new division and went out on the boat in Vernon with family almost every day. I’ve also been paddling a lot to get ready for the Penticton regatta. Granddaughter Amilia told everyone at daycare that Debbie was coming, so the kids and parents all gave her a warm welcome.”

Kal:
“I went golfing for the second time—no demolition derby, and I even managed to get out of the cart! I also had a great conversation with a good friend in the man cave.”

Bill:
“My blueberries have been fantastic. (WTF?) I planned that eight weeks after Shelly's surgery, I booked a trip to Jamaica—supposed to be just the two of us but she invited Jake.”

“I’ll be in Tofino next week. Last Saturday, I went to PoshBall, a ballroom event for Harlem-style dancing. It was a joyful exhibition and celebration of queer culture.”

Jeanette:
“I hosted a baby shower for a coworker and we raised $2,200 for her! I went to Cultus Lake and had to line up for parking at 7:30 a.m. I can’t park at the hospital anymore, so I park at Rona and walk in. It’s frustrating because it means I can no longer park at WorkSafe.”

Peachy:
“I tried a new Filipino restaurant on Hastings, and afterward we went dancing in Langley because, well, there’s no good spot in Vancouver. One of my longtime clients just lost his wife—she passed away right in front of him. I was really attached to them both, so it’s been emotional.”

Bobby:
“I had a relaxing trip to Whistler with lots of hiking, biking, and eating. Back home, I finished repairs on the deck. Oh, and we had a wedding where the groom’s outfit caught on fire from the decorative candles—never a dull moment!”

Chris M.:
“I celebrated my monthaversary and received a symbolic box of chain because of a swing that’s been in family photos with my mom and me—we’re rehanging it with that chain. I also spent nine hours painting the house, and friends came to help unload and keep the painting going.”

Sandra:
“I spent 10 days in Whistler hiking and biking with 21 family members—cousins, sisters, everyone. We watched Miller make great swimming progress, and we even got matching blue sweatshirts with bears on them. We’re also celebrating 31 years of marriage!”

Susan:
“I’ve been very busy with work. Parking has been a nightmare—I end up in the Michaels parking lot and have to walk to Costco, but neither walking route feels safe. Otherwise, life is great!”

Melinda:
“Rory says she’d love to come to Rotary every Thursday! We’re gearing up for the Sunfest Parade in Tsawwassen—Debbie S. is going to be the cheese, and others are fighting over who gets to be the cow or pig. We even ordered a giant knife and fork to chase the animals, plus $800 worth of candy to hand out. Oh, and I’ve been a bit of a teenage matchmaker.

Debbie T.:
“I decided last year to start making cards. I spent the weekend in Harrison for the regatta with my son and granddaughter and we had a dramatic photo-finish race—our team went from third to fifth. A paddler in another boat fell in the lake! Michael will run the next meeting, and don’t forget, the Pride Parade is on Sunday.”
