Sunny Saturday, July 1
HAPPY CANADA DAY
Another early awakening, we had a snorer bunked in with us. Wow.
Bob and I headed off for a ride but I was having mechanical difficulties so we headed back to the church, Knox Presbyterian, to await the move to our next location...Emmanuel Baptist. Got moved by noon and had "snacks" for lunch. The accommodations were larger here and we raced to find a spot. I picked a small nursery for Bob and I...and I saw Sidney Ng set up in the hall so we invited him to join us.
John, one of the mechanics on board adjusted the bike and Bob and I headed off towards Saanich to see if an old friend, Sue Coneys was home. We found her house, rang the bell and then knocked. She came to the door, but didn't recognize me until I removed glasses and helmet. It was lovely to see her but we were limited for time so only had 20 minutes to visit.
We found our way back to the church. Quickly changed and then we were bused to The Seventh Day Adventist church for dinner and our induction service. Peg Ryzak and Doreen Chaperone came down from Duncan to see me. They are members of Mothers' Union at St. Peter's and I have been corresponding with Peg for a number of years. I have met them previously in Victoria and Halifax at conferences. It was lovely to see them and to share in our "TOUR" send off ceremony. Peg had written me a poem which I will read daily, she also gave me a pledge.
It was back to Emmanuel church for bed. I was wiped.
