While we were in Vancouver, we did our best to help B & K out by driving them to appointments, walking Benji and shopping for groceries and meals. From time to time, we could all use a helping hand.
After driving around to connect with two appointments, we were off for another. Seems Benji, the Wonder Dog got a new superdog cape for Christmas, but it was too big. There was only one superdog cape distributor in the Vancouver area that might swap it out for the right size, so we set off for Richmond. The store was mainly for equestrian supplies, but they did have a large number of doggie superhero couture. After shopping about, and doing test fits on Mild Mannered Benji, the cub reporter, we found what Benji, the Wonder Dog needed (in our opinion) and set off for a short walk before our next obligation.
At Milltown, we let Benji out of the telephone booth to strut his stuff and strut he did. He could not quite figure out the flying thing, but, does he not look handsome?
Benji the Wonder Dog, ready to leap the tallest buildings. Up, Up and Away!This is what all the superheroes are wearing in VancouverI’m hearing a call for help. Hurry up with the photos already!!
Not much to tell. After working for 3 companies over 43+ years (38 years 7 months with my last company), I finally got that promotion I had waited my entire career for……retirement.
I have been exploring this new career for the past 7+ years and while it is not always exciting, the chance to do what I want for myself and my family instead of what my company wants has been very fulfilling. Early on, there was a long list of projects in my “to-do” hopper and I attacked these projects with a vengeance for the first 9 months of retirement. Eventually, my brain told me that this was not what retirement was about, so it took me another 5 months before my industriousness again took over and I attacked another line of projects, this time somewhat shorter and less complicated, as well as many new projects related to the family weddings in 2016. After going hard for 6 weeks and 3 weddings, my body was telling me to relax, then the flu bug hit and as soon as that was done with me, my sciatic acted up. No rest for the wicked. In 2020 and 2021, the Covid 19 pandemic changed the whole retirement gig. I was lucky to not be still working, for sure.
I enjoy photography, gardening, working with my hands, walking, cycling, skiing, travelling, reading and creating special photo and video productions obtained in my first pastime. I may never become wealthy in any of these pursuits, but I already feel I am rich in life experiences far beyond any expectation.

Hi Blanca. All is well here thanks. Spring is finally springing and things are starting to green up. Hope all is well with you as well. Benji was a good sport for my blog posts. Thanks for reading. Sending hugs. Allan 🤗🤗
Benji says thanks. Perhaps one of his favourite parts of the visit was the treat bucket the owners had. He was not expecting that. Thanks for reading Linda. Allan
