The Last Few Months - June to September 2009

Since May we had a unbelievable summer in Vancouver. It was a extra special summer with beautiful weather and unusual for not much rain. Roz and I visited David and Talia in Oakland and had a super time with them for a long weekend. Our celebratory five star dinner at Restaurant Gary Danko was unbelievable. We also had quite an intense visit to take care of deal with Joel's mom in Florida. She has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. It has been quite an ordeal negotiating her care and support required. It has been difficult for David and Jonathan. Roz and I also visited Detroit for Rosh Hashanah and had a super visit with the Leibovitz sister clan. We always seem to have a super time with the family in Detroit. We then went to down to Cincinnati for 2 days and reconnected with some friends and enjoyed seeing Caitlin and Jonathan and having some time with them. We are getting into Vancouverisms in many ways - Bard on the Beach, the Vancouver International Film Festival, the Artsclub, our fun and happening neighborhood and a sailing club that we will join in the spring. What a super hobby and great way for us to spend our weekends.
