For the record, I won the Family game of Mexican Train. 🙂

Tony Roma’s one more time
My brother Randy has been a life long fan of Tony Roma’s ribs.
Yet he hadn’t been there in a couple of years. Seems he’s no longer a loyal customer. Our traditional dinners there might be ending.
We enjoyed one more dinner there last week. 🙂
Dad tearing out old fence
My brother got “a letter” saying his old fence was a problem.
Eric took care of the problem. 🙂
Mom, Dad and Pete are on the road home to Parksville, BC.
Bob Moore passed away Sunday, Aug 11th
My uncle died after long illness.
He was a great character, a great sportsman. If you met Bob, you’d not have forgotten him.
He lived large.
obituary:
MOORE, Robert (Bob) – Robert (Bob) Moore passed away on Sunday, August 11, 2013. A Memorial Service will be held at FOSTER’S GARDEN CHAPEL, 3220 – 4 Street N.W., Calgary (across from Queen’s Park Cemetery) on Wednesday, August 21, 2013 at 2:00 p.m.
If friends so desire, memorial donations may be made directly to the Alberta Cancer Foundation c/o Tom Baker Cancer Centre …
… Bob was born at home in Lomond, Alberta to Christina and Bob Moore on June 1, 1933. He spent his childhood in Calgary playing sports – mostly hockey – and raising pigeons. After earning his masters ticket for sheet metal he went to work on the Alaska pipeline. Returning to Calgary, he joined the Calgary Fire Department and retired after thirty years of service. When not working, he golfed, hunted and fished. On one of his summer fishing trips to Vancouver Island he met his cherished wife Lydia and her son Mark. …
Ireland – please return MY land
Finally.
It seems the University of Saskatchewan is — bit-by-bit — returning land to the rightful owners. Descendants of Aboriginal peoples. 🙂
The Department of Native Studies was celebrating June 12th. I enjoyed a free drink (Diet Coke) and traditional food (bacon wrapped asparagus and Samosas).
I’m celebrating too.
With this precedent, I’m planning to claim 4 farms in Ireland.
All 4 of my Grandparents are from Ireland. All were wrongly displaced, forced into economic migration to the Prison Colony of southern Alberta.
Their former properties are rightfully MINE.
… I’d like to also claim my Grandparent’s descendent’s properties, some of it in Scotland. But that would be silly. Why would anyone think I’d have any rights to claim property from so long ago?
T-fal Actifry Low-Fat Multi-Cooker
My family loves this device.
… a low fat cooker that enables you to cook tasty dishes while reducing the amount of fat …
The food is evenly cooked thanks to the stirring paddle and the pulse heat system …
.. clean up is a breeze. The removable pan, lid, paddle, and tablespoon are all dishwasher-safe. …
($179.94)
happy Mother’s Day
I’m visiting my parents in Parksville, BC.
Mother’s Day 10k too. 🙂
