A message to our other granddaughter Shayla, was good, a message from my daughter Penny was nice this morning early too. Most every day we message.
Polly talked with her sister Lyn, she mostly does every other day, they are very close.
Later we talked with our good friends in Ontario, Mike & Linda, was really nice to catch up, as we haven't seen each other for a couple years now.
A message with our good friends Americo & Claudette was nice too, always keeping in touch with them.
So much good communication today, is a really good Sunday so far.
Sun's out now, so we went for a drive out towards China Creek, I've been wanting to see where the fire was this past summer. WOW, was much different that I'd imagined. More small trees burned than I thought would be. Whole mountains burned up, what a shame it is.
Power lines are replaced temporarily with lines buried on the edge of the road, poles to be replaced in the future, and lines rehung on them. I hear the power lines are what started the fire, a transformer blowing up.
On our way back I turned down the Franklin River road, that led to the sawmill at the mouth of the river. Had a look around there, I'd never driven there before, just saw it from the water as we drove by in the boat for many years on our way to our cabin. Lots of hemlock being cut there, I thought filling the orders that the APD might have had before it was shut down.
Change happens, sometimes like a fire, quick and extreme. Other times like our mills shutting down, that takes a little longer, but here we are almost no sawmills left in Port Alberni, just small mills, and our papermill. What a change, all I've seen in my lifetime.
I wonder what's yet to come?
Love our life changing life ❤️
