Hello Hello Patrick and Corrin: So sorry to miss Book Club yet again. What a fascinating book………….WOW. I have company until Wednesday when I will be making a trip to Salmon Arm to drive my girlfriend back. Say hi to all. See you all soon ok. Love & Hugs from Von Bingen 😊😊😊😊😊
Hello Scattered Von Bingen! You obviously need a personal assistant as book club is not until Wednesday, July 24th, 2019! Senka will host if she is back in time, Michelle otherwise. I'll let people know when I know. Fondestos from Lady Dar, busy working on the wedding she is to perform this coming Sunday, at Walnut Beach Resort, in Osoyoos. Cheers, Patrizzio!

Note spelling for your PA!], favourite corsage as it matches her personality!



Chloë and I participated in CMHA's Ride Don't Hide, [We walked!], this morning. Perfect weather as it was cool. Started at the KVR Middle School, just a block or so away from us, at 8:30 am. Route was along KVR to the Little Tunnel, for bikers, but we walked to the parking lot, just below Naramata Road, the 12 km turnaround spot. On the way back, just before, and then past, Vancouver Avenue we came across a number of deer grazing beside the trail, not at all fusssed but keeping a close eye on us, nevertheless! Finished with a very tasty bbq. [Had you been able to join us for lunch, I would have come home as we were back close to noon.] I had two burgers! Some of the prizes were remarkable: a bike rack from Swagman, one that we have. Friend, Pam's husband, Bill, won a spiffy helmet. Conflict of interest as she is on the board of local CMHA Chapter! Unfortunately, my ticket was in my camel pack and I gave it to Chloë to take home as she wasn't coming to bbq. Anyway, a very worthy cause and loads of fun. Thanks again for terrific visit. Stay well. Cheers, Patrizzio!

Hi Pamela! Great event so thanks for letting us know about it. Cheers, Patrizzio!

Wow, Chloë Alexis & Patrizzio. All we can say is, wow. You must be tired after the momentous showing that you and other Ride Don’t Hide riders made today. But you should also be deeply proud of what you accomplished. Being seen, standing tall, showing up for mental health. You truly did bring mental health into the open, sparking light in the dark and paving the way for others to get the help and support they need. You showed the world that none of us are alone in taking care of our mental health. A heartfelt and sincere thank you. The Ride Don’t Hide Team P.S. Sleep tight, knowing that your efforts have helped make the world a little bit better than before.
