Wow! It did clean up the court yard so we are thankful for that.  Got up early this morning and Joey and I had our morning quiet time on the front deck of #1 with coffee and The Big Book in hand.  Truly, a beautiful time just sitting and enjoying this incredible spot in paradise that we live at!.  Kye Bay is one of the most beautiful spots we have seen so far.......... The week is nearing and end and the folks are real troopers...........enjoying themselves in and amongst the rain drops.  Pot Luck was rescheduled to tonight so if any of you want to join us.............we will attempt to gather in the courtyard at 6 pm.  The more food the better right? Have a great day and know that you are on our hearts; always  far and near old and young ...Amigoes!!!!!

Received this from my brother Paul today: "This past Sunday was a Great Day in our family. Started out by meeting Joe & Isabel for some worship time in church, afterwards enjoying breakfast together. Great family times I am having with my older brother and Isabel, this really started again in the past six years, but has blossomed more since then. But that is another story! The reason for this letter to all is, what happened after breakfast. Colette came for a visit with Ronald and Patsy, visiting from Seattle. Joe & Isabel joined us at our house. We had a great afternoon together ending with Pizza for dinner. What held our interest for this amount of time was hearing about the involvement Ron & Patsy have with the DANIEL IGALI FOUNDATION

You bet!!! It's summer and we are enjoying it!  Right?? Week # 2 at Kye Bay was estudpendo!!!  Everyone arrived safely and settled in rather quickly...as we watched the unpacking and unwinding we were reminded once again of why most folks come here.  The week began with the traditional pancake breakfast as a welcome time and Claes and I stepped right up and felt like we had never left.  The kids were outstanding!  So sweet and so full of Kye Bay spirit they glowed.  We/they played in amongst the wind and few rain drops that fell, still enjoying the beach and family time -hand in hand they sang and sat by the little fire - presenting us with a great Talent show one late afternoon.  High Tea of course was a high light, followed by a Festival of Games presented by Rob.   I could go on with the list of things that went on and I do have pictures to substantiate it all!  LOL  But you know my personal computer is giving me problems today...

Our first weeks guests have arrived and our basking in the West Coast Sunshine on the most beautiful beach Vancouver Island has!!!! All is as it should be and we will report again soon with details. The Managers at Kye Bay Lue Claes and Joey

The Kye Bay Angels - our cleaning staff-- have been busy for most of the past weeks.  Claes is home between jobs so also a God Send  as he is doing all the tough guy stuff............Roz is here for a few weeks and she also has brought her work clothes..........I am running around sorting dishes, decorating and organizing  and Joey is supervising................all of this done in the midst of beautiful Kye Bay Sun Rises and evening breezes with magnificent tide changes. Oh!  what a glorious spot this is........the best kept secret on the East Coast of Vancouver Island...........yu really should all come visit sometime soon............as some of you are and we cant wait. We live in an art gallery and sometimes find ourselves starring at the carpet!!!!  Next time you hear a loon cry or an ocean wave.......pause and listen to the Majesty of the Creator!!! Until later please know that until our work gets done the posts will be minimal........talk to you soon...

A splendid weekend began with a gathering of all of our children and their children meeting at Crista and Dougs'. The trip that began on friday included Brodys Grad, our first meeting of little Patsy and was a  circle tour of the Island and Sunshine Coast to pick up my youngest sister, Angela. Sister Annette came  along for the first half of the journey where she continued  on at Maderia Park to visit old friends.  Her and I had a great time shopping along Marine Avenue in PR finding all sorts of treasures!!!  We returned home Sunday via Horse Shoe Bay where we met Kristy and Michael and Angie.......... exhausted but exhilaration we made all of our ferry connections to arrive home around 5ish.
