Another Tattoo


Well you seen Bob's tattoo. Here is Alexis' tattoo. It is a cornflower on her ankle. Done by Shelley at Five Star Tattoo.

Happy Anniversary Baby


Bob and I celebrated our 4th Wedding Anniversary on the 23rd of August. We had the pleasure of having some of our really good friends join us. Bob planned this for me. He wanted us to go out and have a good time and we did. I know how hard it is for Bob to go out these days, so for him to plan for us to go out for dinner is a really big thing.

When we came home we sat under the stars for awhile. It was a beautiful night.
Thanks Babe!

FU-ALS Tattoo


Here is a picture of Bob's tattoo, day 2. Shelly did a fantastic job. Bob has a reason for picking what he did, later I'll get him to dictate to me and I'll post his description here.

Themed Railing


When we came home today from the tattoo parlor, my dad had installed the new back railing off our carport. This picture is still of an unfinished railing. But check it out, it describes just how we are feeling. Thanks to my dad for doing this, I know he put in a lot of time to make this look so good. People are always doing nice things for us, so thanks dad. Check out his web-site if you get a chance, www.fullcirclelogworks.com.

5 Star Tattoo


Bob had a big day today. He got a tattoo on his forearm. It took 4 hours, but he is used to sitting for long periods, so not too bad. I will post a picture of his tattoo later, but here is a picture of Shelly the tattoo artist with Bob and myself. A big thank-you to Shelly & Alexis for the tattoo. You will have to check out the tattoo, very cool.

Bob's uncle Terry was here a couple of weeks ago with a Live 4 Today & FU-ALS tattoo, which I think started something. Bob had an idea already of what he would want should he get a tattoo and seeing his uncle motivated him to get his. Now I think you may see a few more tattoos in the works!

Long Beach Golf Course Recognition


Thank-you for your support of the ALS Society. This year they raised almost $6000.00. We went for the dinner last week and it was nice to get Bob out for a drive with our friends.

Thanks to Randy, Jenn, Mike, Brad, Christy & Dean for coming with us; Les, Linda & Bob Sr. for meeting us there. It was fun. Beware of the tailgaters!

King Richard Brodeur


This past weekend my friend Les Doiron was gracious enough to bring over some members of the annual Charity Golf Classic in Port Alberni. It was made up of celebrities including Canucks Alumni Hockey players. You'll notice in the picture that's Richard Brodeur beside me. When they left he gave me a hug and a kiss as if I was a longtime friend. It meant a lot to me. Bernie Pascal was also here and I kept on saying to him, I can't believe you are in my living room, I would watch you on TV in my living room and this is quite different now. He laughed at that. There was members of the A Channel, and Les was saying later they may want to do another follow up story on me. I think that would be great, as it generates more awareness for ALS. I also forgot to tell you that while they were here I was able to tell them my story about building the house and 2 On A Roll's, a trip to Toronto and most recently about building the FU-ALS racing truck. From what I was told all of them were quite moved by what they had seen & heard. Thanks very much again Les!
