My Children

I try to call home as often as time allows and talk to my children. I miss them quite a bit, I really wish they were here with me. My son Mitchell is planning a possible move to BC at this point. He works full time at Tim Horton's. A new adventure is always a good choice. This is Mitchell and Heather.Follow your creative instinct Mitchell and all will be well.

Melinda, my avid reader, works at Subway while attending school full time. What a load, what dedication, but as we know, education creates opportunity and good income. Teacher's and doctors have the rare opportunity to travel the world and work abroad. Go Aminda Go! I'm cheering for ya!

James is working on his B.A. and eventually his B.Ed. His goal is to become a History or Political Science teacher. He has a natural passion for world events and political history. He spent three years in China teaching English. A natural teacher, I look forward to sitting at the back of his class one day. Two thumbs up James! You'll do it!

Kirsti is the "hooked" traveller, having spent six weeks in Europe, she is eager to see more of the world. A Licensed Real Estate Agent, Kirsti possesses excellent social and people skills, she can sell anything! Quite artistic as well, she has painted some fine art that has been displayed in her high school.

Kelli is our family caretaker. Always taking care of everyone and making sure they are OK. She works in Manitoba dealing with children with special needs. She is very well educated, very bright and loves taking on challenges. Kelli has no fear of adventure. She has been to Ireland and a few other places.

Waves, Water

As mentioned earlier, we had a blast in the Langkawi waves. Tossed around like rag dolls, knocked over, dragged under, and flipped head over heels.

We burned a few calories as well.

Someone spilled a lot of salt in the water!

Langkawi Vacation

During our "September" week off -one of two- we went to beautiful Langkawi with Jim and Shelley. We lounged on the beach for seven days, soaked up the sun, collected weird/cool shells, some days it was really shelly for Shelley and myself. We also tossed ourselves silly in the waves whenever they came in.

Then, we found this nice, comfortable restaurant with a tasty menu...well the menu wasn't tasty but the food was, the menu tasted like greasy international fingers. Anyhow, the food is so good that we ate breakfast, lunch and supper there, almost every day. The owner, Tanja adds quite a friendly atmosphere as she comes to the table and chats with customers. She's evidently in her niche and she is very good at it. She speaks English with a very charming German accent. Her husband Oli and her staff work with the same warm servitude to make customers feel relaxed and welcomed.

the Red Tomato Garden Cafe has it all, excellent food and a warm ambiance. When you go to Pantai Cenang Langkawi, stop in, have meal and a chat, you'll wanna go back for more!

Tanja and Oli

Sitting at the Red Tomato Garden Cafe, I'm smiling because I just ate a great meal, was served by a friendly hostess and across the table from me are good friends and my sweetie! Who could ask for anything more?
