July 30 Update

Hello Every one,

it was a busy weekend. My whole family drove down to Vancouver then to Seattle Washington! We went to see Tajanna's school next year! She is going into fashion design1 The school is The Art Institute of Seattle. It is a 3 year program, and she will receive her degree after that time. it is a high priced school, but the school does have an almost 100% placement program into a job! With all of the girls together it seemed a little stressful at times. Well for Tajanna! She was just over whelmed with everything. She seemed better after she spoke to the teachers and advisers.

Well, back to work for me.

It is a long weekend for us this up coming weekend. We have made no plans though. I hope to go camping!

The pictures are of the school area in Seattle.

Bye for now.

Hi!

Well it was soccer night last night. I must say the best part of the game last night was the beer after. We did not play very good at all. no effort to pick those loose balls up. Pretty much out worked us. We did manage a tie. We played in the last 15 minutes. We actually could have won. . I was pulled down in the 18 yard box and our penalty kicker missed it. We have a golf tournament this Saturday, followed by a backyard party. Good for team building.

Have a good day you guys! More soon!

Hello!

So it is still smoking hot here in Kelowna. It has been at least 35 degrees C, for most of last week.

So I thought I would give you some history of my mothers side. She is from Scotland. She came to Canada when she was around 18 I believe. Yes, met my dad in Kelowna. She was a Lab tech,. She tested peoples blood. Her Mom and Dad stayed in England. My Grand father was the Mayor if Stockton on Tees. There is a great picture of him with the Queen of England. The picture I am attaching is of my Grandfather and Grandmother!.

Bye for now.

HI!

It was a great Day! It has been so hot and low humidity here! Okanagan Lake is warming up too! Nice for swimming!

Monday is soccer night! We tied 1-1! We should have won! At the end of the game guys in the middle did not mark thier men. 3 guys were wide open and scored at easily up close to the goal. Yes, team work is vital to win. Same for skiing. We need guidance from coaches, support from team mates, a good tune up man (or have good skill yourself), And all having the vision of VICTORY! That is key! Not to just compete! Always push yourself to do your next level of Excellence! Never be satisfied!

Lets all kick butt this next season! You all can make it to your next level! See IT! Believe IT!

Bye for now!

Doug

PS This picture is of my O-Gi Chan and O-Ba Chan! They both passed away but I still think of them often. I appreciate what they have done for me and look up to them for the way they had to live during the hard years ! They wanted the best for Thier family! Just like I want the best for mine and for all of you! Always look for things you Appreciate! Every Day!

Bye for now!
