ARRIVED SAFE IN KELOWNA B.C. TO VISIT MY DAD. IT WAS A SUNNY AND DRY ROAD DAY FOR TRAVELLING - MADE GOOD TIME YESTERDAY.
KELOWNA IS ONE OF THE BANNANA BELTS OF CANADA - SPRING IN FULL BLOOM. TEMP IN THE 70s. IT IS A FRUIT GROWING BELT ABOUT 80 MILES IN LENGTH IN A VALLEY THAT IS ACTUALLY SEMI-DESERT, SO MUCH IRRIGATION IS DONE.
THE AREA IS A RETIREMENT AREA BEING SO LOVELY AND HAVING SHORT WINTERS. THEY SAY THAT WAY BACK PEOPLE JUST THOUGHT TO TRY AND SEE IF FRUIT TREES WOULD FLURISH HERE......AND THEY DID INDEED. THEY GROW PEACHES, PLUMS, CHERRIES, RIGHT THROUGH TO APPLES AND PEARS. OF COURSE PEOPLE GROW IN THEIR GARDENS ALL KINDS OF OTHER FRUITS.....STRAWBERRIES, BLUEBERRIES ETC.
I DID LIVE AND WORK HERE FROM 1987 TO 1990.
MY DAD IS DOING VERY WELL FOR GOING ON TO BE 93 IN AUGUST.
HE COULD HAVE DONE A LITTLE BETTER IN EATING OVER HIS LAST 25 YEARS, DEVELOPED A LARGE TUMMY. MAYBE IF HE'S STAYED SLIMMER HE WOULD EVER HAD HAD THE STROKE A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, AND WOULD I BELIEVE LIVED TO BE 100......AND EVEN NOW HE MAY WELL REACH 100.
I HOPE TO AT LEAST LIVE AS LONG AS MY DAD, IF THIS AGE DOES NOT COME TO AN END BEFORE THEN. MY CORRECT EATING, EXERCISE, MENTAL ATTITUDE, I HAVE HAD ALL MY LIFE HAS PAID OFF. THE NEW COMMUNITY CENTER MANAGER [WHERE I TEACH GUITAR] WHEN I TOLD HER I WAS 70 YEARS OLD, SAID, "WOW, I THOUGHT YOU WERE 50, WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING KEEP DOING IT." AND I WILL!
TAKING ABOUT BEAUTY OF NATURE AS IS HERE IN KELOWNA AND THIS VALLEY. I BOUGHT THE RECENT "HOBBIT" MOVIE - 3D - WITH THE SPECIAL DVD [A SET] AND LIKE THE :LORDS OF THE RINGS" IT IS ALL SHOT IN NEW ZEALAND.......AND OH WHAT A COUNTRY FOR BEAUTIFUL AND MAGNIFICENT SCRENERY. I HAD NO IDEA SUCH VARIETY OF GREEN VALLEYS AND SNOWY RUGGED MOUNTAINS WERE IN NEW ZEALAND. JUST A WONDERFUL CREATION OF GOD FOR A RELATIVELY SMALL COUNTRY......SO GET "THE HOBBIT" WITH THE "SPECIAL" DVD AND SEE HOW THEY MADE THIS MOVIE AND THE GREAT SCENERY OF NEW ZEALAND.
WILL TAKE MY DAD DOWN-TOWN TOMORROW [THURSDAY] AND OUT AGAIN FRIDAY; HE WILL ENJOY THE SIGHTS. WILL, THIS AFTERNOON PUSH HIM AROUND IN HIS WHEEL-CHAIR, THROUGH THE LOCAL AREA WITH LOVELY HOMES TO VIEW.
PROBABLY WILL NOT WATCH MUCH NEWS THIS WEEK, BUT PROPHECY HAS A LONG WAY TO GO YET, SO PRETTY SURE THE NEXT EVENT IN PROPHECY TO WATCH FOR [THE FORMING OF THE KING OF THE SOUTH WITH EGYPT AS LEADER] WILL NOT FORM BEFORE I RETURN TO CALGARY THIS COMING SUNDAY.
