Two Granddaughters in Burnaby
Thursday, July 06, 2017
Yesterday
July 5 my Rosemary and I drove to the outskirts of Burnaby where my daughter
Hilary, her husband Bruce and one daughter, Lauren live.
My wife the
eternal pessimist became depressed when Hilary & Company purchased a house
in Burnaby a year ago. We had lived in Burnaby and Rosemary wanted to forget.
My Hilary,
the eternal optimist was excited about returning to the Burnaby of her youth.
She does not drive so she depends solely on transit and never complains. They
are all very happy in their neighbourhood.
What made yesterday
special is that temporarily Rebecca, now 19 is staying in what is also her
house and sleeping in what is her own room.

We had, all
five of us (Bruce was working) lunch together and then Hilary and I went for a
swim in the splendid communal swimming pool. Lauren’s ankle was bandaged
because of a sprain so she declined to swim with us as Rebecca also did citing
that she had washed her hair that morning.
On an impulse
I asked Rebecca to pose for me in the balcony (which overlooks the pool) and
then I asked Lauren to pose, too.
I would
say it was a perfect hot (I love the heat) summer afternoon.
