Evening with the Legends

Who doesn't love Elvis, Roy Orbison, Garth Brooks, Johnny Cash and The Blues Brothers? They will all be making an appearance as Robert Larrabee and the Invermere Legion present an `Evening with the Legends'. This guy does amazing impersonations of several artists. He is very talented. The show is pure entertainment all night. Check it out this Friday, October 25 or Saturday the 26th. The Friday show includes a Legion meal. I love food and I love good entertainment. I will be there on Friday night for sure. I really hope you take advantage of your opportunity to go see this show.

Digestive Crackers

My Mom tells me that she used to feed me Alphabet Soup and that I loved it. But that is just her putting words in my mouth.

Fireman's Ball Last Call

The final push is on for ticket sales to the 48th annual Fireman's Ball, a valley tradition and a major fundraiser for the Invermere Fire Department. This is an important

one as these folks are there for us in our toughest times. The evening starts at the CV Centre this Saturday, October 26, with cocktails at 6 pm, followed by a nice roast beef dinner at 7 pm, then live music from the band, `Liquid Rhythm' at 9 pm. Tickets are available for $40 from Home Hardware, Konig Meats, the fire hall or any IFR firefighter. VIP tickets are available from the District office at $400 for a reserved table of eight. Get your last-minute tickets and show your support for everything these folks do.

Seniors' Health Fair

Hey seniors, caregivers, families and everyone, there is a Seniors' Health Fair coming up this Thursday, October 24. It is at the CV Centre from 1:30 to 3:30 pm. There will be several senior service organizations offering information as well as refreshments and door prizes. Bring your Health Care card and you can get a free flu shot. This is a great chance to stay abreast of what services are available for yourself or for those that you care about.

Soup Luncheon

A reminder that this Friday, October 25, is this month's `Soup & Bun' luncheon at the Edgewater Community Hall. Only $8 gets you a choice of delicious, hearty homemade soup, a fresh bun or biscuit, dessert and coffee, tea or juice. I should mention that the desserts are quite incredible also. Lunch begins at noon. Bring an extra dollar for the 50/50 draw. Thanks to the Edgewater Seniors for hosting these luncheons. All the food is homemade and delicious.

Riddliculous

What type of critters were the following: Cheeta. Gentle Ben, Pepe le Pew, Flicka & Curious George?

Rockies Hockey

The Columbia Valley Rockies have returned from their road trip on a 3-game winning streak. They defeated Castlegar, 100 Mile House and Kamloops while away from the valley for a few games. The Rockies host the Grand Forks Border Bruins this Friday, October 25 at 7:30 pm. The Princeton Posse will be in town on Saturday, game time 7 pm. Sorry if I have had the wrong times for the Saturday games. Anyways, I am hoping the excitement of the home crowd will help them pull off a couple more wins this weekend. Cheering them on always makes a difference. Come on down to the rink and support some exciting junior hockey.

Suited

I asked the two guys in matching outfits if their mother still dressed them. Then they arrested me.

Wednesday Night Trivia

How many trivia questions are in the Station Pub's ad each week? Where can you find the answers? Those are easy questions. Each week the Station hosts Wednesday Night Trivia at 7 pm. The cost is only $3 per player and the entry fee is given out as prizes. There are 40 questions each week. A big tip is that at least one question will be from the previous issue of The Valley Peak so you are off to a good start just by finding the 6 answers in this issue. I usually get that one right. I hope to see you there enjoying an evening out with friends.

Robservations

I have lived in and visited quite a few places in Canada and I must say, the Columbia Valley is by far the most beautiful area that I have seen. Other areas may have the odd attraction, a nice waterfall or whatever, but here, everywhere I look is gorgeous. In the morning when the sun crests the Rockies to illuminate Mount Nelson and the Purcells is awe-inspiring. The caps of snow are brilliant, almost inviting. In the evening as the colours of the setting sun hit the peaks of the Rockies and the clouds above is even more amazing. The quick trips to the back country to find beautiful streams (and waterfalls) or golden larch trees or bountiful wildlife are always great days. Foraging for herbs, mushrooms, huckleberries and more. Where else does that happen? Hunting, fishing, hiking, biking, soaking, skiing, golfing, swimming and so much more. I live in a paradise that is defined by its natural beauty. We all do. Unfortunately, very few of us take the time to get out and enjoy what we have. We are so busy just living our lives and trying to get `ahead'. Ahead of what, I am not sure. Anyways, remember how lucky we are to wake up in this area. Share your good moments with others to help remind them of where we are every day.

Downtown Trick or Treat

Downtown Invermere businesses will have treats ready for costumed kids this Saturday, October 26, from 11 am to 1 pm (or until the candy runs out). Kids need to have a grown up in tow, so go along for the fun and enjoy the sight of little monsters and ghouls roaming the streets. Participating businesses will have a poster in their window. Thanks to the DOI and businesses for giving the kids something fun to do before the main night. Watson and I went downtown for this last year and it was very impressive. Lots of great kids' costumes and many huge smiles. I love seeing people get into Halloween. Watson dresses up as a Bassett Hound.

Waddle

I have been loving life lately. Rob has been trying to get me out for a couple walks each day and Jen at Kootenay Kritters has been incredible for walks and hanging out with me. She also takes me along to meet many of her kritter clients. I love meeting new animals. The sunshine has been amazing. The black part of my markings get really warm when the sun hits them. It feels wonderful. Nearly everyone I meet wants to give me a rub and fill me with love. It is pretty nice feeling that way every day. Thanks for that folks. During all my years on a chain, I never imagined a life like this. I am quite content to be a laid-back, loving companion. I do still love to be heard, so if I am not moaning and groaning then I am probably barking. Just to get your attention. All I want is a little rub or two. Anyways, I hope most of my dog buddies are enjoying the good life. Get your owners out for lots of fresh air and exercise. Teach them the value of love (and treats). Share your wonderful `dog's life' with them.

What Year Was It?

Joe Namath won Super bowl MVP, The final Beatles' album, `Abbey Road' was released, the first Wendy's restaurant opened and the PBS was established. The Montreal Expos debuted as the first non-American Major League ball team, Sesame Street and The Brady Bunch debuted on TV, the first eye transplant occurred and the first Concorde test flight took place. What year was it?

Mental Health

It seems that my mental health (and that of many folks) is quite related to my interpersonal relationships. You know, how I get along with others. I build expectations of my friends and associates and rarely can they live up to them. That leaves me disappointed for no valid reason. People are busy with their own stuff. It really sucks being too weak to lift some things and too fatigued to deal with a load of firewood but not wanting to ask for help. Hoping help will just randomly show up rarely seems to be effective. It sucks sitting in a hospital bed (at home) for dialysis for a few hours every second day, hoping that a friend will come for a visit. Why visit me when you can go out for coffee elsewhere? In my little world, life is all about me and I always hope that a few more of my friends care enough to feel the same way. That is a pipe dream. But it sure is amazing when folks do take the time to stop in and check on me. Keeps me inspired to go visit the folks at Ivy and Columbia Houses. It makes a difference.

Gossipy

One great thing about egotists is that they never talk about others.
