I HAVE A FRIEND NAMED, BOB. 

BOB IS 89 AND HE FINALLY DECIDED THAT IT WAS JUST TOO MUCH TROUBLE TO CONTINUE TO TRY AND GET TO AQUAFIT ( WHICH IS WHERE WE MET) .  FIGHTING WITH THE SNOW,  TRAVERSING THE ICY PARKING LOT AT THE POOL , AND EVEN THE CLASS AND THE GETTING DRESSED AT THE END WERE A TRIAL ( I KNOW THIS TOO) . AND ALSO BOB DECIDED HE IS DONE WITH DRIVING.

SO EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE I ( OR WE)  PICK HIM UP AND TAKE HIM TO HIS FAVOURITE RESTAURANT : RICKI’S. 

HE AND HIS WIFE ( HIS BELOVED TERRY WHO PASSED ON A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO) USED TO GO THERE EVERY WEEK . THERE ARE NO STAIRS TO ENTER AND THE STAFF ARE SO NICE.  BOB BRINGS THIS OUT IN PEOPLE. 

BOB MAKES A POINT OF LEARNING EVERYONE’S NAME AND HE DOESN’T FORGET IT ONCE HE LEARNS IT.  HE IS KIND AND HAS A VERY LARGE FAMILY WHO CHECK IN ON HIM REGULARLY . ( WHAT GOES AROUND…..) 

 WHEN HE GOES TO RICKI’S HE ALWAYS SITS IN THE SAME BOOTH, THE SAME SPOT, AND ORDERS BREAKFAST WITH WHATEVER FRIEND HE HAS JOINING HIM THAT DAY. 

I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUN TO MAKE UP A NAMEPLATE THAT SAYS,”BOB’S BOOTH” , AND INVITE SOME OF HIS AND MY FAVOURITE POOL FRIENDS TO WITNESS THIS HISTORIC OCCASION … HA HA. 

AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED THIS MORNING.(TERRY CREATED A FUN CERTIFICATE COMMEMORATING THE DAY AND HAD THE NAMEPLATE ORDERED FOR ME) .  WE HAD A GREAT TIME AND MARIO, THE MANAGER, AND ROWENA, OUR SERVER, MADE SURE EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT FOR US.  BOB WAS TICKLED AND I AM SO GLAD.  HE IS WONDERFUL !

    Nice looking crew. We miss time with the pool crew. Barb and I got back from Nevada in mid February to a flurry of appointments then went to Drayton Valley for 2 weeks of grandparenting. We have been home sick with the DV rink table cocktail cold virus ever since Drayton Valley. Hope to see you all soon.
