I am sure I have missed some things, so we are returning to Victoria this May and October (professional conferences) and we plan to swing by Ginger's on at least one of those trips. We may head to Kelowna this summer - Kathy was not with me when I flew up there in a puddle jumper a couple of years ago and she needs to see that valley.

What is a ingloo? Does this have anything to do with incest?

Yah, I'm behind the curve, but I've got a dude pal and he knows all that stuff. I should have checked with him before I posted this.

He taught me all I need to know about football: Tom Brady.......that was about 18 months ago, and I've never been interested in anything except his face ever since
