Roadtrip to Asheville, NC

Word came while we were in Ottawa that Emi’s husband Alan F. Flynn Jr. passed away on August 30, 2017. Mom and Dad wanted to go to the funeral service for Al, so Carolyn and I drove them down via John and Reiko’s in Reston, VA (outside Washington, DC). Mo flew in from Vancouver to Reiko’s only to realize later from his daughter that it was another 8 hour drive to Asheville, NC.

We left Saturday morning and drove to Reiko’s and then left from there Sunday morning for Asheville. That night Emi took us out for dinner at Travina Italian Kitchen.

Kathy Lester, Emi, Dad and Mom.

The waiter took a picture for us.

The service was Labour Day Monday. It was held at St Giles Chapel which is on the grounds of the Deerfield Episcopal Retirement Community. Before the service Mo, Alan, Reiko and John.

After the service, Emi took us out for lunch to 131 Main. Here are Dad, Sarah, her son Koji and Mom. They had to leave early, Sarah to get back to San Jose and Koji to George Washington University in DC.

Alan, Jill, Jessica, Lyndsay (back row), John, Reiko, Mom, Mo, and Dad.

On Tuesday morning we started the drive back to John and Reiko’s in Reston, VA. We stopped at the scenic outlook in Tennessee just across the North Carolina border.

Dad was keeping watch for John and Reiko to pass.

Reston, VA

After we got back to John and Reiko’s, Mom and Dad took us all out for Chinese food dinner. We went to X.O. Taste in Arlington, VA. It was close to Jamie and Sean and their families. This is Cormac (Sean’s youngest), he is just over a year, my first cousin twice removed.

Jemma and Jamie.

Mo, John and James (Jamie’s husband).

Ewan is Sean and Joey’s oldest son (3.5 years old).

There were some phone issues between Mo and Reiko, but eventually they were sorted out and now they were taking the next step with FaceTime.

One last photo before we hit the road to come home home.

My selfie with Mom.

It was a long drive, over 3100km and 4 long days in the car through New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina.


Happy Birthday Dad!

On Saturday we headed out to Lori’s and Dale’s for G-pa’s 88th birthday party. We ordered chinese food and Brad and Chelsea were making sushi. Somehow Brad got out of actually making sushi as Chelsea, Melissa and Claudia did all the hard work.

My buddy Bear.

As long as he was sitting with his grandma or grandpa he was happy.

Chloe was good as usual.

Brad and Bear.

Mounds of sushi.

The sushi turned out well, it was delicious.

The food has arrived.

Claudia brought the Rumoli board.

Time for birthday cake.

G-pa with enough lung power to blow out the candles.

Lily and her new favourite Jesse.

You think we would learn and do the photos sooner than later. Sara, Brent and Bear had already left. Danny and Emi didn’t make it due to hockey, so it wasn’t quite the whole gang.

After the grandkids, it was family photo time, however we don’t all fit on the couch.

And then Chloe jumped up to get in the picture.

I was still squished, so Shanna and I headed for the back row.

Happy Birthday Mom and Dad!


Celebrating Mom and Dad’s (belated) 60th Wedding Anniversary

Although their actual anniversary was on June 30th, they were in BC on holidays with Shanna. We didn’t get a chance to celebrate since they returned. Today we all got together at the Dragon Pearl Buffet. We were all able to make it, except for Melissa and Fernando and of course Shanna, David and Jesse. Here is Bear enjoying his dinner, it was Bear’s 1st birthday today.

With Gillian living at Lori and Dale’s, she is Lily and Kaiden’s new best friend. They were so happy to see her when they got to the restaurant. Lily insisted that she sit next to Gillian.

It was a great meal and it was good to see everyone. One last hug from Lily.

G-pa’s Birthday Party

We got together for Dad’s 80th birthday party at Carolyn and Danny’s. Shanna even called in via Skype to do a video call. Here is Emi talking to Shanna.

We ordered Chinese food for dinner.

Here is Angela, Claudia and Melissa talking to Shanna, David and Jesse on Skype. When Shanna called earlier Jesse was out on the ski slope. It was neat for the cousins to talk and see each other.

After dinner the kids (big and small) played some road hockey.
