Red sky in the morning.......

There is a wind warning for Vancouver Island and Victoria.

We hope that the rest of your West Coast visit goes marvelous!
With love, Ray Debra Rueben Trista and Clayton

Looks good on you Dad!

Our pets enjoying the early morning

Mom and Dad B are on the island visiting us. They have been at Rob (my brother) & Delores' place in Alberta (Edmonton area) where they (R&D) are building a log home - pretty impressive. They have spent a few days at Nancy (my sister) and Fred's in Langley and will be back there on Monday night. At least the weather here in Victoria will be nice for their stay.

Weekend stuff

No pictures as I forgot where I put the camera. Debra and I went out to some garage sales on Saturday morning and got a bit more work done around the house. There still are a number of things that need to be finished before the rainy weather comes round.
Sunday morning was an early morning bike ride (as usual). Part of the downtown core was being cordoned off for a bicycle race later in the morning. The rain held off which was nice.
Clayton's team won their soccer game in light rain. That's all for now.

Happy Birthday MO!

Happy birthday buddy. My friend of many years from high school, through college, my best man at our wedding, a biking buddy, a good friend. Wishing you a great birthday.

Beautiful weather for the weekend

Gordon and I went for a ride around the Highlands and Finlayson Arm. We took Willis Point road and ended up at Tod Inlet. So many places I have never been to before. And this is after living in Victoria since 1994. Thanks Gordon!

What is a ride without a coffee?

Inner Harbour Victoria

Labour Day weekend. Wow, the un-official two months of summer (July and August) are over. Compared to last years weather, this summer has had a little bit of everything. It was nice to walk down to the harbour and take in the Classic Boat festival. Also on was the Blues Bash with live bands playing right beside the harbour. The rain held off today but it was still on the cool side.
On the home front, Trista starts Camosun College part time on Wednesday. She is taking a couple of Anthropology classes and an English course. She continues to work at the Poetry Institute part time. Clayton goes back to school (Pacific Christian) on Tuesday starting Grade 11. My new job continues to challenge me with new things to learn, but it is all good.
