TIME OUT IS OVER

Our season is over, goodbye Bahamas, goodbye Florida, goodbye the high temperatures. Trade the goodbyes for Hellos to family, grandchildren, friends. From paddleboarding to biking on Thurs nights, from palm trees to Canadian maple leaf trees, from flybridge barbequing to patio furniture and firepits. We welcome our Canadian summer, from no-see-ums to mosquitos! Will take it all!

Please pray for our Canadians in Alberta as they struggle with the wildfires.
