MERRY CHRISTMAS 2017

---

We enjoyed a wonderful family gathering at Ryan and Krist's beautiful home.

---

They and family members prepared the perfect dinner for 28 family members -- all seated at the same table (sort-of).

---

The eldest family member was 81 years and the youngest 4 months so young and old had a marvelous Christmas Day together.

Thank you SharBen for yet another Christmas Eve Family Gatheriing and delicious dinner.

---

According to my records, Bentley & Sharon have invited us for Christmas Eve dinner these past twelve (12) years (since they moved to Victoria in 2005).

---

It was great to have all the children -- young adults actually -- ranging from 19 to 22 years.

---

Liam will be off again to Europe come January 1st 2018. Bon voyage, my son (grandson actually).

---

His siblings will remain here making lots of money from their jobs.

You know you're having a slow day when all you can think of to do is take a bus ride. That's what happened Monday after hopping the bus outside our door at 11:30a.m. and heading for the big smoke (downtown) The last time we were out on the bus was May 29, 2016 in Vancouver BC going to Grouse Mountain

---

Monday's outing got us as far out-of-town as Victoria General Hospital but his was not part of the plan. The plan was to get a Ubike from town and go for a ride but that didn't happen

---

Only one out of five (20%) of Ubicycles have helmets attached to them and I don't carry a spare cycling helmet around with me. No helmet -- no cycling . . . it's the law.

---

I had lunch of Char Siu Pork at Loy Sing Company 554 Fisgard St in Chinatown On the way home from the UVic bus stop I walked over Mt. Tolmie
