Young Achiever Matteo...Congratulations!

Matteo Fronteddu, grandson of Leslie and Jacqueline Michael, spent his Spring Break at the Spanish National Soccer Training Facility in Madrid, Spain.  There, he trained with the professional training staff pushing his game to the next level.  Matteo was a member of a select group of boys from the Langley United Soccer Association that made the journey to Spain to be immersed in soccer culture. Upon his return, Matteo was selected to the Fraser Valley Metro Under 13 soccer team as their starting attacking centre midfielder.

Grandchildren of Leslie and Jaqueline Michael are taking over Hollywood!  Look for them as school children in the upcoming movie, "Wonders", staring Julia Roberts and Own Wilson being released in November.  They also filmed with Liam Neesom in his action thriller, Hard Powder and can be seen in the Netflix series, Zoo and Lost in Space.

Ian and Raywyn Celebrate their Shared Happiness

Thanks to our generous friends we celebrated our anniversary at Northview Golf and Country Club in Surrey BC on the Victoria long weekend. Imagine a year has gone by since the reunion celebration of friendship and life—and 24 years since Ian and I reunited and started our relationship—plus one special year, thanks to Ian's health—he is doing great—and mystifying the doctors of course.

The weather is fantastic this year so I thought you'd enjoy the scenery, snow capped mountains and spring blossoms. We saw two families of Canada Geese with 5 and 3 goslings, and two rabbits interweaving with them while eagles flew above, and golfers treaded carefully around the water's edge.

We had a delicious steak dinner after spring roll appetizers, but the place was full so service was slow.  Thanks to the lovely scenery, people watching with my Lindeman Chardonnay from Australia and Ian's Scotch we managed to enjoy the evening. Thanks to all for making memories in our lives also.

Kia Ora and Blessings
Raywyn and Ian
