Summer of 2010

I have decide to do a Blog on our happening for this past summer, which was not all that exciting but some addressees may be interestedso here goes.
In april on our return from MX I was still suffering from what the doctors determined and I was convinced was Acid Reflux. This problem was so bad that i could not cut the lawn or play ball without an attack. However, i was also getting some mild chest pains so I insisited on seeing a Heart special who immediately sent me for an angiogram. The angiogram showed that i had a few slight restrictions in my arteries but so does 90 % of the people my age including most doctors. The Heart special then decided that I must have a stomach bacteria called H-Pyloria and he spoke to the Specialist who had tested me for the same thing a year earlier. I was again tested and found to have this bacteria so I had to take some antibiotics twice a day for 2 weeks and I had to go on a NO ALCOHOL diet. Such is life. After this treatment I believe i am now cured . Also i'm back playing ball which is most important.

Now for the travelogue.
We left home today, 7 Sept, heading for Chilliwack BC to a Military reunion. However, our first stop is at Todd's place in Okotoks for a G/Kids fix; tomorrow it is off to Todd's cabin near Fairmont Hot Springs, BC on Columbia Lake ( just built this summer ) to install some blinds that Carroll found in the Budget Blind store that where mis- measured or the wrong colour for someone. She found several blinds with a retail price of 900.00 for a bargin price of 145.oo cash, no invoice. She is always looking for a bargin. We will stay overnight at the cabin, and then head for Kamloops to visit and overnight with Joe and Marg Barker who have been friends since the earlier 70's and of course where also in the miltary with us.
On Friday we will head to Chilliwack to meet with out Military friends, some we have not seen for 30 years so it will be great to swap stories. We will have a meet and greet on Friday and a dinner on Saturday evening with some tours during the day. On Sunday we are going to Vancouver Island ( Comox ) to see a close friend , Helen Mazerolle, who lost her husband 2 years ago and who we travelled with for years. Since we lived in Comox for 6 years we will no doubt visit many other friends.
We will return to Todd's place on the 17 th Sept as the Twins ( Megan and Quinn ... 16 months old ) would like us to babysit them while Mom, Dad, Emily and Rhett go to a wedding in Edmonton on Sat and Sunday.
We will return home on Monday until the 29 th Sept at which time we will leave for Mesquite , NV to play ball in a 2 day tournament on that weekend, then we move to St. Geo, UT ( 50 miles ) to play in the World Senior Games starting Monday which hopefully will last 5 days.
We will do some touring to places like Zion national park and Bryce Canyon on our way home and expect to be home on the 11 th or 12 th on Oct. We don't have any plans for the rest of Oct and \Nov so we close this saga for now.
