This is a tribute to my father-in-law, John R. Kellett, who died just 9 days short of his 95th birthday. He was very much alive till he died the morning of July 16 in his sleep. We shall miss him very much.

Nick defending
Here Nick is keeping the ball out of the goal (between the two orange standards), with his bike and his polo club (usually the shank of a golf club and some PVC piping).
Naomi reaching
Naomi really got into her games. Unfortunately, she and Nick (who were a team, as "Albert and Victoria") lost this one 5 to 4. But they had expected to love by more.
Bike Polo
Bike Polo has rules. Despite appearances, it is NOT a rule that one must have a tatoo or piercing. But these were posted. I like the last one.
Bike Polo
It was set up quite elaborately on four tennis courts in the park - woe to those who wanted to play tennis that day.
Bike Polo
I very much enjoyed seeing Nick and Naomi play Bike Polo last Saturday. Takes a lot of skill and they're getting good at it.

Old ball game
Eight of us in the office went to see a ball game Tuesday afternoon. It was my idea, and it was fun. The home team lost - it was quite a shame, giving up something like 20 hits and 16 runs - but we sang during the 7th inning stretch lustily...

Our holiday in Ontario and Quebec
Ros and I really enjoyed our holiday in Quebec, seeing relatives (Judy and Jerry, Doug Neale and his friend Wendy) and friends (Ken and Sandie Melchin) and enjoying Montreal and - especially - Quebec City, my birthplace, on their 400th Birthday. Here are some pictures we took. (Click the "i" for information about each.)

Cycling away
Ros had a teachers' union barbecue to go to (no spouses allowed) and took off on the bicycle carrying a fruit salad (which you can't see). It's perfect cycling weather.
Roses
The roses on the trellis at the edge of the porch have come out and really look nice, despite our best efforts at ignoring them. But we must get the porch cleared.
Our Backyard
This is where I should have been sitting this afternoon, rather than fooling around with the camera - and reading a book and having a beer. It's so green this time of year. The wheelbarrow in the background though reminds me there's always work to do in the garden.
Archbishop in Church
Here's Fred in his more traditional garb after an ordination service on Sunday. On behalf of diocesan bishops in the Dioceses of New Westminster and Kootenay, the Archbishop ordained five people. In the picture are the Rev. Patrick Blaney, who will serve at the Cathedral, and the Rev. Kelly Duncan, who is destined for the Diocese of Kootenay
The Primate and the Pooch
I enjoyed as Communications Officer for the Diocese of New Westminster being with Archbishop Fred Hiltz, here touring a subsidized housing complex that the Church has been involved in. Jack Card is a resident and storekeeper in "The Wellspring." His dog is named Ruby. Fred, head of the Anglican Church of Canada, came for a four day official visit, and one thing he did was get a taste of the social services the diocese is involved in. The Archbishop loves dogs--he just lost a Labrador that had been in the family for 15 years, and really missed him. "The Wellspring" is one of relatively few places where people can keep their pets.

Us All
Here we all are. I neglected to say Naomi was over from Victoria for the weekend. Jane asked Naomi to carry Finn in his Snugli (or whatever it's called), which he likes to go to sleep in. Next to a warm body.
