back to normal in kelowna

Jim left yesterday, so its just the cat and me again. We had a really good visit and he did a bunch of handyman things for me. Was here for a week then off to Harrison for his conference nad back here on Tues. It was Lisa's birthday so was going to have them all for dinner (a double celebration} but I got sick w/stomach flu, so I went bed amd they went out to eat - said they enjoyed it, but don't know how they could, with me suffering here! It was a 24 hr thing, so am recovered.
It's really nice here now - still a tad cool, but improving and everything is bursting into leaf and bloom and am busy with yard and garden. Lisa and Richard are working their little buns off outdoors too.
Had a nice email from Fred - the medical folk are still trying to discover what is wrong with him - he's still on the heart moniter and just had a tilt test - he fainted, which meant he passed it! He's sounding busy and happy tho' - it's their 40th next month - imagine that. It was good to hear from him.
Less than a month and we are off to the rock - have so much to do before then that the time will fly. Then it's Lisa's grad and the houseboat - busy busy.
Don't know if you've heard from Laura, but she's taken the job with Weyerhauser in GP starting May 15. They made an offer she couldn't refuse, and she's pleased with it. She goes in May, but they guys won't go till school is out.
That's all the news from me. So love to all - Mom/Grandma

I had our basement suite on hold for the Longs. I guess I can let Geoff make beer in it again.

Did the Longs make a reservation in every town where they had family do you think? Well, now Geoff can get back to the beer in the basement there and I won't have to shovel mine out. Saw all the snow in AB on tv and really felt for all - next weeks coming and rumored to be nice and war
