Yumi and I did the Rolley Lake and Falls loop today in Rolley Lake Provincial Park north of Mission, BC. Easy walk in a lush forest, and around a pretty little lake.

It was also great to run into a gal pushing 100 years old that we met at a party about three years ago. She was out and about at the event with her walker, since she lives in the Japanese seniors’ residence there, and we had a good long chat in Japanese, mostly Yumi and Yuki, with me following along as best I could.
Here’s a post about that convivial, multilingual, multi-generational potluck.
