Fancy Meeting You Here!


Statistics was never my strong suit in college, but consider this:
There are 24 hours in a day, but about 18 hours of time when people are out and about doing things.

Be in the 2nd largest city in British Columbia, Surrey, with its hundreds of thousands of people going about doing their thing.
And then consider this: Surrey has dozens and dozens of parks, seaside walks, malls, cafes, restaurants, shopping centres; places where people gather.

So, it would take a particular combination of all three to converge and see someone we knew; time, people, and place. And yet:

Walking down a very long pier in a little area called White Rock, I looked over, and there was my sister-in-law, Libby, from Boise, Idaho!
She and her sisters have gathered here (where 2 sisters and her mother live) for their annual sisters get-away weekend.

That was a fun, happy surprise....save us a seat in church, you lovely ladies!
