ANOTHER GOOD NEWS UPDATE!

Hi Guys,

I can't believe it's almost been a month since my last update! Dallas has been out on the Cinnamon Girl a ton - no surprise there. I used to think that his passion for golf would never be surpassed but now it seems as though fishing has one that contest hands down! Last week he caught a 31 pound halibut by himself on the boat! For those of you who aren't familiar with the fight that these fish put up when you catch one picture this: GOAT RODEO! Especially since this halibut was an incidental catch - Dallas landed it while fishing with salmon gear. Anyway, he came back that afternoon smiling ear to ear and filled our freezer. The kids and I think we need to outfit him with a camera equipped helmet set up to film all of his lone escapades on the water!

In the last few weeks we enjoyed a quick visit with friends Mark and Kathy from Invermere as well as a weekend with friends Jim and Diane from Vancouver. While Jim and Diane were here we boated over for dinner to Genoa Bay - what a fabulous restaurant! And of course the highlight of our month was when our Jordan was home for a few days. It's always so wonderful when we have the chance to bring all our kids together! Our newlyweds are doing well and Marcus got to finally toss his glasses away because he had lasik surgery this month. We enjoyed Genoa Bay so much that we went over with the kids for dinner on Sunday - it's so great that this restaurant is less than a half hour cruise on the boat.

Dallas sailed through his treatment four weeks ago and we're off to the cancer clinic today for another one. Yesterday he had a great meeting with our favourite doctor who said that the Big Guy looked the best he'd ever seen him look. For the most part Dallas feels the best he's felt since his surgery - almost two years ago! He continues to amaze all of us and we are forever thankful that he's doing so well.

As for me, I've been a bit under the weather - I was laid up for over a week with a fever/flu. This old bod just doesn't bounce back the way it used to! Now that I'm on the mend I'm looking forward to our cruise. Dallas and I booked a one week cruise to Alaska and we leave on June 13th. I can hardly wait!!! I think the change of scenery will do both of us the world of good and I'm looking forward to a week of pampering. More later...

Love,

Patty
