     There are people that are a part of YOUR life who you always keep in touch with even if it is only a couple of times a year. It may be a phone call or a tag on Facebook or just the requisite Christmas card c/w the manditory family update letter.

    

     Here at The WAYWARD INN, we were blessed with visit from a dear friend of mine from years gone by. She is of the my parental units generation and has been a friend of mine since before I can remember. She is open and caring, practical and honest, opinionated and flies by the seat of her pants. Trust me when I say that she has no dufficulty in calling a spade a spade and a shovel a shovel. God bless her! It was only supposed to be a coffee klatch sort of visit but here at The WAYWARD INN an invitation to lupper was offered and accepted. So, while yours truly fired up the Flame Pit to handle the tenderloins, my LOBSTER whipped up all the side dishes. Everything was great. We even enjoyed a fine bottle of spiced mead from a local winery.

    

     In driving around the Valley I have seen a large number of new housing starts. There are town houses on Anderton (near Comox Ave.) that have sprung up as well as new residences popping up on streets that previously had just an empty lot or an old derelict building. Speaking of which, if anyone is driving on Knight Road going towards the airport take a quick look to the right just before you get to the roundabout or even better look left after exit the roundabout on Knight Road. That first property...who the hell lives in or owns that rat hole. I ask you, dear readers, that if you see properties like this one in your neighbourhood to report them  to your governing body and force the owners to Clean Up Their Bloody Mess!

    

    And don't let up either. A clean neighbourhood discourages vermin both four legged and two legged. Trust me, you don't want either.
