De-Nesting Diaries: Wednesday, February 20th

Contempt is the weapon of the weak and a defense against one's own despised and unwanted feelings. -Alice Miller, psychologist and author (1923-2010) 

Hi Pat and Corinne

We were thinking of you because Polly and I are heading down to Sonoma next week for a couple of weeks R&R.  We are taking the bikes with us, because my walking is not so good right now.  We hope to make Ashland on the first day, and this will be a very long one day drive, but then we will stay there 2 nights, and do some exploring on the bikes.  Then on to Healdsburg for a few nights and then to San Luis Obispo (which apparently is a good biking area.)

We will then wind our way home to get to White Rock on Sunday 10 March to attend Anne Hobbs 70th birthday party.

I am booked to go "under the knife" for the second knee replacement sometime between April and June, so we wanted to get away before this occurred.

Hopefully all is well with you as you travel around the continent.  When are you planning to be back in Vancouver? Cheers Mick 

Arrived at the island inn safely decided to send you and your siblings a message. Skiing was fun and Jude enjoyed herself too lots of good food and drinks with Larry and Brad flight was good from Calgary to Vancouver now having drinks with Pat Corrinne is at a meeting to return soon so we can have dinner. Jude said it was very cold at home has the house warmed up turn up fireplace if need to just don't have anything in front of it .Love you all give us a call if you want see you soon.

Hi Polly and Mick!

Trust you are both well! I gather you are just now recently back in Vancouver. I do apologize for not sending along a message sooner. As it is and has been, ever since returning, we seem to be busier than ever and have simply not had a moment to catch our collective wits. Primarily has to do with working on the loft so that we can finally de-nest Chloë! too, too bad timing was a bit off as we had a wonderful time in Sonoma, coming and going, so would have been great to share some of our discoveries with you, both wine and cycling. However, I'm sure you managed very well on your own. We like area around Paso Robles and San Luis Obispo as well. Will be curious to hear your thoughts on visit there.

Trust, as I mentioned earlier, that all goes well now you are back. Give us a shout whn you have a moment as we'd love to catch up. Fondestos from Cora Lee and Chloë. Cheers, Patrizzio, High Wire Artiste Extraordinaire!!!
