Gian Paolo & The Gaelen Blues: Friday, June 28th!






Hi Patrick, I’m told that the subject irrigation turns on at 10:00PM every evening. We have a number of people who congregate on the grass to watch the fireworks on July 1st. and don’t want to get wet. I’m planning on closing the main valve between the Dogwood St. mail boxes and the second row (101) before the event and re-opening it afterwards. I hope that this will not cause problems with the irrigation system? Regards Frank Hello Francesco! I'd like to help with your irrigation system BUT I'm not the chap responsible for the system! I assume there is someone else in your address book with the same or similar name! Hello to Maggie from Lady Dar and myself, from Penticton. Trust you will not have to wear raincoats when watching the fireworks on July 1st! Happy Canada Day!!! Cheers, Patrizzio! 

Sorry Patricio, wrong Patrick. I will correct my error and forward your email and pics to Maggie. Regards Frank Lol, happy to hear from you, despite the error by ‘Francesco’🤣, with pics too although none of you?? Trust you & Lady Dar both well!😍 Unfortunately, don’t seem to get to Penticton these days. Frank likes to travel Yellowhead to Alberta, via Valemount overnight where Frank has an elderly 1st cousin to his Dad. En route home, we travel via Valemount & on to Abbotsford overnight.

Getting ready for arrival Sun pm of youngest, Beth with her 3, Kennedy 11, Ollie 9 & Katelyn 5 1/2, bringing eldest dtr, Allison’s Indi, 10. Hubby, Terry has to work. Long drive for her!! In a mo, he may be starting a job for boss co, Peterbilt, in Fort Mac, 2 weeks on & 2 off. Not really great for a marriage nor a family but good $$$!!!!! They can use it so hope they are able to weather through. Plan is for week in Hawaii in Nov with me flying out to look after the 3 kids, their border collie, Turbo & the 2 cats, Primrose & Poppy!😬😳 It will be a crazy busy time!!🤪 Thank heavens the 3 will be in school full time.

Beth is only staying a wk. I can’t wait to see them!! When she leaves, she’ll take Ollie & Katelyn. Ollie plays club soccer & Katelyn is too young to be away from Mommy. Alli driving out 13th with son, Cash, 8, for 4 days & pick up Indi. She’ll visit friends in Squamish en route home. Allison & Jake separated Dec 1. Jake is suffering from addictions -alcohol, smoking, weed, sugar and whatever he takes on, as well as depression. Sadly, they will divorce. It has been a very difficult time for both of them, as well as of course the children, especially Indikah, who is in therapy & recently on anti depressants for anxiety. Jake, commercial plumber, renting a townhome 5 min walk.

Elijah, almost 15, Stephanie’s older son, is flying to Nanaimo Aug 5-11. It promises to be a fun visit!! He & I are very close. After he was 6 weeks, I looked after him Thurs from daycare (until Steph got home about 9:30 from the Salon) as well as Sats, until age 4 when we wintered in AZ. No daycare pms or weekends, a problem for single parents. We’ll drive him & Kennedy (sharing time with Terry’s family in Nanaimo) to Kamloops to meet Beth & Stephanie. We’ll travel via Surrey to pay a visit to Elijah’s Oma, 84 & Opa, 90, God willing, in Oct. He had a recent eye stroke with his speech affected. This could be Elijah’s last chance to see them. After this year, suspect he’ll be working summers coaching gym + to help Mom, $.

Peter & Janet adopted Elijah’s father, 3 wk old Jeremy (Jamaican descent) from the Grande Cayman. Sadly, in 2005, Jeremy died very suddenly at age 29 of an undiagnosed acute, very aggressive Myelogenous Leukaemia. Elijah was only 8 mos. He & Steph were not living together. The Leukaemia was discovered upon autopsy. A retired, Dutch Christian Reform Pastor (parish in LaCombe, AB), Peter & his wife Janet, originally from Holland, have 5 biological children. Hopefully, we’ll meet up with divorced daughter, Marianne/her partner from Mission. While Elijah’s here, we’ll travel to Campbell River to visit their married daughter, Abigail/her husband.

There is a divorced son, Casey/partner in Calgary, married son, Robert in Rocky Mountain House & married dtr, Barb (older than Jeremy by 9 years) in LaCombe. They are a strong Christian family and children marry young. Many grandchildren & great grandchildren boast the family name. Steph, Elijah & Griffin, 6, have been fully embraced into the Boodt family, included in all family celebrations. Elijah has been a ring bearer 4x & junior groomsman once. He is the youngest grandchild by 9 years. Honours through all the grades, incl the present, Elijah has been accepted into gr 10 AP program at Scona High in Edmonton. Jeremy would be very proud, as are we!!! Our news for now,
Magnolia😘
