07-05-26 Birds and Goodbyes
It turns out I woke up around seven as seems to be the usual because Rayann would bring me a coffee before work in the morning mornings at the hospital and around seven I would head home for a shower
Because I was up early, I decided to get ready and head to meet uncle Lawrence uncle Bryan & Lynne, Sarah, and Kevin at Bootleg Gap golf course for breakfast
I’ve never been there before and it was a beautiful setting and the food was good although two slices of sourdough toast with sliced tomato avocado and a bit of feta cheese was $22 so I’m not sure I would make a habit of going there. I believe uncle Lawrence bought, which was a lovely brunch treat. We took some pictures outside and then Sarah and Kevin headed off for Squamish.
As I was about to leave, I got a message from Jeff my tattoo guy asking if I could come at 11 rather than one and that would work out perfect so I said yes. I really enjoyed my time with him as usual and I’m very happy with Barb’s license plate with all the extraneous things removed and the letters WSM- wicked step mother for Donna. He also added the date to my turtle from when Ashlée and I went to Hawaii.
I headed home and put a bandana around it to protect it from the sun. Well, I went out to Fort Steele to meet with the family for the birds of prey show up from Duncan. It was really good and we hung out there until four. Steele closed at four and then I waited a little longer for Rae who was doing some work, things in our position as the marketing manager for Fort Steele. Roger headed on with Gene and Sawyer to check out the River.
As I was sitting in the clam shell, I noticed that the birds were getting very disturbed by the flapping of it, and I noted that the rope had come undone which kicked in gear my stage experience so I went around back and re-threaded and roped it back down to the pipe so that it doesn’t get ripped to shreds
I asked Rae-Anne on the way back to search Mrs. B’s obituary as I had somehow missed it. It has horrible spelling mistakes, but from that, we also found the Facebook page for the school that she used to teach at. The alumni were saying incredible things about her, and I was so happy to read them.

I had a nice visit sort of there was a lot going on a lot of Cross conversations which super frustrate me. Roger made us an amazing yellow chicken and rice dinner and I was blessed to be there when Will called from Quebec on his French immersion exchange. It sounds like he’s doing well.
It was a very decent day and I am very tired and this will be a busy month but that’s good because I’ll be making money
