It is a curious thing that every creed promises a paradise which will be absolutely uninhabitable for anyone of civilized taste. -Evelyn Waugh, novelist (28 Oct 1903-1966)
Breakfast Are you guys coming up? Hello Harbour Terrace! Sorry we missed breakfast! Who won the game? Trust your drive went well. Did you forget to stop in Chilliwack for Lady Dar? I assume you had to go via the Hope-Princeton as the Coquihalla was closed for some time I gather. Heard from Corinne, via Chloë, that there was fairly heavy snow in Manning Park. I picked up a lock at Home Hardware in Osoyoos and put it on #162 so we are all set to leave stuff now. Thanks for giving me your card. I returned it to front desk when I checked-out, telling the staff member you left it at our place! Pics: Spirit Ridge AGM weekend!
We had a few showers around 2:00 pm this afternoon, shortly after we hqd driven home from Spirit Ridge, but nothing much and so I went for a good ride shortly after skies cleared. Followed my route regulare down Ellis to PTC and then Lakeshore/Riverside, hamsterizing around SOEC. Didn't want to venture too, too far afield as I was a tad worried that rain might return what with the very strong wind straight out of the South at 24 kph. Still, it was great to be in the saddle again after not having been in the saddle for almost a week, although I did use the elliptizer both in Vancouver and at Spirit Ridge. Clarisse baked a couple of dozen wonderful muffins, using some of the apples we picked, while I was out. We had chili and salad for dinner and then watched a new series, Inspector Maigret, with Rowan Atkinson, of Mr Bean fame. We both liked it even though one has difficulty separating this character from Mr Bean. Map and Stats for ride:

Hello again, Clan Sutherland! Just wanted to let you know that your presence was valued even if no snapolas of human children to prove the point! Kid Chelene, please give me a call about picking up some firewood this week, if it works. Thanks and Cheers, Patrizzio! Wednesday should work. Let’s aim for 9am? I have to drop off Avery at school first. Corey Hi Kid Chelene! Great, that sounds fine! See you around 9:00 am. As well, more apples available so if you have time we could stop by Wild Bill's place to pick a couple of boxes before we head up to Spiller Road. Give me a shout if you have time and we can plan the day. Thanks and Cheers, Patrizzio!
Ended up having to go through to hey 1 as the coq was closed . Took an additional 1.5 hours but picked up your wife.Thanks for the memories. Michele
Hi Flamin'! Too, too bad about the snow but glad all went well. Kid Chelene and I are to collect firewood at Spiller Road on Wednesday, stopping at Wild Bill's for more apples beforehand. Life of a Freeloader in Penticton! Squamoids, Ruthless and Ricardo, are coming on Friday for weekend so should be fun. Fondestos to one and all from Rosita. Love and Cheers, Patrizzio! Pics: Rosita with felines!
Job done! Dear friends, I am happy to report that the job has been completed. My initial plan was to call on a few of you, have a mini-work party to complete what was left unfinished on Friday, namely removal and disposal of all the branches from the 2 downed trees. But: our kind and very energetic two friends, Tony and Aart, with a truck only a bit larger than their hearts, beat me to it. They came on Saturday and did most of the work. THANK YOU, BOTH! There was very little left for us to complete today. Thank you. Dave S. and Jack Z., the four of us (with Jim B himself) finished the job in a short while. So, it is all done, I hope to adequate standard of quality, so we can close the chapter and call it quits. Thank you, collectively and individually, it was a privilege to be a part of the crew. Safe trip to Victoria, Jim, and good luck! Al
Hi all, Jim French is back but unfortunately is not able to participate in our Thursday hikes due to family health problems. In the meantime Rick has volunteered me to send out the weekly notices. This week we will explore new territory with a hike to the top of Nkwala (Papa Jerry) Mtn starting from the West Bench. For this week we will meet at 9:00 AM at Selby Park on the west side of West Bench Drive near the corner of Jonathan Drive. Summerlanders who wish to carpool meet in the SE corner of the IGA parking lot before 8:40 for carpooling to West Bench.Please let others know whether you want to carpool by doing a "reply all" to this notice.
Time about 4 hrs depending on how much aimless blundering we do. May I suggest that it would be a good idea to carry a cell phone and let others know your number in case you manage to get separated from the group as has happened to several of us recently. Please let Rick or me know if you are coming. Peter I will be there. Otto PLANNING TO BE THERE………..Hilda 😊
I am planning to be there. Is anyone meeting at Home Hardware?????? Hildi
