This month marks four years since both of my grandfolks passed away. My gramps passed away on the 3rd and 17 days later my grams passed away. They were married for 65 and a half years and guess you could say they couldn’t live without each other.
The picture was from my grams funeral, each candle resembled the family (the two of them, their 3 kids and the 8 grandchildren). The daffodils are from the garden where my cousins 1st child (who died at birth) ashes were scattered. He was the 1st great grandchild.
It’s weird but everyone thinks my boo looks soooo much like my grams.
I guess you can say I’m lucky I got a chance to know both sets of grandparents as an adult. Back in 2003 is when I lost my 1st grandparent now just my dad’s mom left. The joys of getting old!
The nine weeks of summer did go by fast … well it seemed to me. But I really enjoyed this summer even if I didn’t go camping or on any fancy road trips. Here are some of my highlights of the summer:
- Got a bone bruise on my ankle early July and it STILL hurts (not sure what I did)
- Celebrated my first anniversary living in this house
- Drove to an out of town dragon boat festival with someone who is the worst backseat driver ever!
- Hosted a BBQ
- Created a dragon boat team of basically Vancouver twitters for a BC Childrens Fundraiser
- My Carbon Fiber paddle broke
- Got a new look, chopped 13 inches of hair off and got myself a new clothes and shoes
- Lost a childhood pet
- Danced six hours straight at my cousin’s wedding
- Attend my first WordCamp Fraser Valley
- Attend my first Renaissance Festival
- Hosted two themed movie nights
- Failed at my 30 day challenge of eating normal food but only having water to drink (no sugary crap ) .. Lasted 15 days
- Did not huli (flipped) when I paddled in a oc1 (1man outrigger) all summer long
- Changed PGN’s layout
- Last but not least…… H2O Geeks placed 7th overall out of 24 teams – I am very proud of these guys
How was your summer?
What did you do?

Hi, the name is Kimm, I'm a 30 year old Canadian who has been online since 1999. For the last 16 years my main passion has been dragon boating where I've eaten, slept and breathed it and raced all over North America.
