Today is your day Boomer! Now here is a greatttttttt way to spend our tax dollars! 12 million has been set aside to buy a glorious chunk of property on Okanagan Lake near Summerland. According to Castanet News, "The property, which comprises adjacent lots of almost 1,500 feet of pristine shoreline along Okanagan Lake is nestled between Okanagan Provincial Park and Fitzpatrick Estate Winery." Right now there are two provincial campsites just to the south....extremely popular spots.....and soon there will be three, as camping reservations in B.C. have risen by 15% since 2022. And a lot of those campers are Boomers, who especially like to camp in the shoulder seasons when the kids are at school and seniors qualify to pay only half price! Good deal. So the average senior Boomer will pay only about 16$ per night to stay at the new campground. Property seller Dan Butler says his family hoped "that the provincial government, specifically BC Parks, would eventually acquire this 28-acre property to create a space where families could make lasting memories and enjoy their time together." Let's do it Boomers; bring the kids and grandkids. Cheers to camping!
Today is your day Boomer! My Dad left this world this week. I was there in-person to say goodbye and, of course, it was very, very difficult. But rather than focusing on the negatives of his downfall, I want to share with you my Dad's many contributions to my life. First off, Harold (Hal) shared his name with me and helped raise me as one of six kids in our family. Imagine the financial impact a family of eight had on his work life and mental state! Speaking of that, he taught me the importance of a strong work ethic and a good education. All his kids have university degrees or trades tickets. He showed me the supreme importance of family gatherings, how to flyfish...even when he was colour blind....how to use tools, play high-level bridge, eat organic foods, he taught me how to drive....even though I ruined the transmission on our old car....he showed me how to sail, save and invest money, have an appreciation for nature, he was a role model for me as I moved through heart/s
