Had a chance to visit friends...
spent some time with my kids and new grandson....
...played with them for a couple of days at Harrison Hot Springs....
Spent a day relaxing in the beautiful Vancouver tradition of the Folk Festival.
Most importantly, witnessed a miracle - a family member who it seemed there was little hope - now is well...
...and I got to spend time with little Maddex. I miss him terribly when I'm gone...
I find I have culture shock every time I go to Vancouver, and then again, every time I return to Douz.
What different worlds....
But then, how lucky I am.
