A busy couple of weeks
Jack Whyte's new Templar trilogy book has been out since early August, I have my copy, read it and thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait until the second and third volumes are available. "Knight's of the Black and White" is the title. Get it NOW.
As well, celebrating forty years of living in Canada, in October an autobiography by Jack is coming to bookstores near you. As soon as I leave here, am placing my order for a copy.
This past Fri/Sat/Sun I spent visiting Kelowna, BC where stayed with a cousin. He has compiled his own books on the Antigonish Whiddens and is helping me with editting my own genealogy/family history book.
We enjoyed a couple of Swiss Chalet dinners, a Chinese smorgsbord and outings to the Summerland agricultural gardens, Kettle Valley RR where they have 90-min. train ride at 10:30 and 1:30 and a dinner available as well (we didn't take the train ride). We went to the city center park where the AIDS walk was taking place and we walked around and saw the lift lock in operation, stayed while the Rowdymen performed for about 45 minutes (Celtic folk music) and enjoyed the sights and smells of the flower gardens. Eddie pointed out various areas that were affected by fires in the past couple of years and we got some fruit at a couple of fruit stands: grapes, pears, apples and bumbleberry pie.
The weather was low 20s C and clear skies after a week or so of cloudy skies and rainy weather in Edmonton. A welcome change.
