He sold his OLD fishing boat through Kijiji. (Not Craig’s List)
… Here’s a fixer upper (possible replacement) I found in his Parksville, B.C. neighbourhood.

I was born like this …
… I had no choice
A California cousin is doing a family history. Here’s a baby photo that came to light.
I had hoped to transform from an ugly duckling to a beautiful swan. That hasn’t happened yet.
Dad’s fishing boat for SALE
I posted two ads for my Dad, $1650 firm.
At that price, he got a LOT OF INTEREST. … We were flooded with emails and phone calls.
Actually, the price is $16,500. Please excuse my innumeracy.

Pete’s California vacation cut short
PETE DOESN’T FLY.
So we drove to find the SUN on the southern California beaches.
I’m the chauffeur. Dad’s the chef. Mom the gofer.
Pete most enjoys hotel living. And restaurant eating.
Sadly fears of a California superstorm made Pete decide we’d best head home to Parksville, B.C. a couple of weeks early.
made it to California …
Since departing Parksville it’s been either cloudy or rainy.
One highlight was driving Avenue of the Giants in the rain with almost no other gawkers. (It’s packed during summer.)
I’d forgotten how windy and undeveloped is coastal California Highway 1
We finally got some sun as we approached San Fran.
headed SOUTH today
Like last March, I’m off with my parents driving south until we hit sunny warm weather, likely coastal California.
Dad’s 80th birthday
I’m heading today to Parksville, BC. My Dad turns 80 on Friday.
55 Foyle Road, Londonderry, Ireland
A cousin has traced back the genealogy on my mother’s side to this address.
Here’s a current photo of the location from Google Maps.
I’ve never visited Ireland.
walking with Pete
I’m dog sitting my parent’s Pete, perhaps the eldest Jack Russell in the world.
We take two long walks a day. He likes the snow. But not the rain or cold.
