My friend Peggy and her husband Bill joined us for lunch and an afternoon visit today. Peggy’s parents and Mum and Dad were great friends when they all lived in Wartime. Peggy’s siblings were around the same ages as we kids so we all became friends as well.

Peggy contacted me through Facebook. We had lost track of one another as our lives took us to different parts of the country. Our Dad’s remained friends so there was always a bit of knowledge about where we each were. It was particularly nice that Peggy contacted me just a few weeks before we made our move to Powell River. Bill and she live just across the water in Comox. Peggy has made the trip over before, and we’ve seen her in Comox several times, but this was the first chance Bill had to come across.

I can see the lights of their ferry as they sail past the edge of Texada. The afternoon went by far too quickly.
