Well is official, we no longer live in Summerland!!!! We have a week of saying good-bye and I still can't believe it is true. It is like a dream. We are staying at Garys mom and dads house until Wed. when we will go to Calgary and visit family there. The weather has been extremely hot. We had 42 celsius on Wed. and at least 35 the rest of the week. We had the advantage of staying on the beach in a little cabin (pics to follow later) but it was still hot. Well tomorrow we will go to church at our old church in Kelowna and then three more good-bye dinners and lunches and off to Calgary for more good-byes and finally on the 10th off to Ireland. I will update with pics when we get our own computer again.
