TALENTS

Hobey has been gifted with a wonderful musical talent that includes writing songs and playing the music.  He was able to stay in a cabin in Red Deer to work on his writing and composing. We learned a lot about the music industry and why he enjoys playing and singing for his own pleasure and he has enjoyed hearing his songs played on the radio in several countries like Canada and the States.

Turning the words and experiences of our lives into song is a special talent.

The fog was much better today down from a 10 to a 6.  Aneta and I hada lot to catch up on as we have not walked for several days.  Together that is.

This is the picture from our window at the Sylvia Hotel.
Hobey had already been to English Bay to see the fireworks.
He was a little leery of the Canadian Geese that hang out there.

We enjoyed our lunch there.  Hobey is great fun to be with.  I am pleased he is fond of Canada and has good memories of coming here.  He enjoy his visit with Stephen and Shawna and Cameron and Shandel.  It sounded like Stephen and Cameron were trying to outdo each other with some of there more harrowing experiences.  They get that from dad I think.

After lunch we drove to visit Kim and Panteli.  It was great sitting out on there balcony over looking the golf course.  Kim had to leave to pick up Hamlet so she was going to drive Hobey to the bus station.  It is so much better to be able to spend time together with small groups.

Our talents are all different and it is wonderful when we can share our gifts to bring joy to others. 

"What matters in life is not what happens to you but how you remember it."

It is good to be with others who have a talent for remembering the good experiences!

Hobey much be getting excited to be going home soon. Or is that just something I do? As soon as it is down the end of a trip my thoughts turn to home.

So lovely to have the rain today. If only it would rain for a week and then give us a sunny september that would be nice.

My back yard bunny seems very excited by the rain, running and jumping amongst my flowers. I guess it could be there first time it has seen rain?

So even your bonny is enjoying the rain.

My squirrel runs by on the top of the fence
in a great hurry.

I think Hobey is still excited about seeing Craig and Leah and Oliver
so not thinking about home just yet.
