We were invited to Greg and Gail's house for dinner tonight so we hung out at Salmon Point until it was time to go into town. We used the time to call some of our friends and family back in Ontario and we enjoyed a walk along the shore at the park. We stopped at the local Thrifty's grocery store to pick up a few things and we looked over at the in-store pharmacy on our way to the checkout. There we saw a familiar face; the pharmacist there used to work at Orillia's Wal-Mart pharmacy when Dad was living in the granny flat in Oro in 2001 recovering from his first stroke and we got to know her well. She told us that after two years she couldn't take another cold winter and she moved out here last year. What a small world we live in!

Greg and his family live in a large house with a fabulous view of Quadra Island and the Strait of Georgia. We sat on the deck all evening sharing memories and enjoying the view, watching the the many cruise ships go by and tugboats hauling huge barges. Our dinner of barbequed corn on the cob and fresh halibut was heavenly and the company was great.

Greg, his wife Gail and daughter Erin share their home with Dwayne, one of Greg's clients from his career with Community Living a non-profit organization assisting people with special needs. Dwayne was unable to join us for dinner as he was attending a banquet however when he returned he enthusiastically shared the banquet highlights with us. Afterwards he took Rick and I to his living quarters to show us his huge collection of record albums, video movies and comic books. We had a great visit and are looking forward to our next one later in the week!
