So 30 years ago today, I arrived

on a Ward Air flight as an immigrant. Scared, thrilled and completely alone. This country has been the greatest gift. Thank you

. Thank you everyone who have helped this little Brit survive and grow.
My Mum and Dad have both died; my family is small - so when daughter of second cousin of Mum finds me and reaches out to say she’s in

for one night - you jump into a car and drive 5 hours to visit!!
This is where we are “housing” our fire crews. If you’re in the Okanagan on holiday - can you consider cutting your time short so that these guys can get a hotel room?

So I had emergency eye surgery yesterday.. and once again I want to shout out to all the angels (aka nurses) working out there. You are most under rated, valuable, caring people in society. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Smoke alarms now going off in my house due to the wildfire smoke outside. Stay vigilant people - this is gonna be a long night.

Okanagan Lake - making for a picture perfect backdrop for my 35th anniversary of emigrating. July 6 has always been special to me and today did not fail to live up to dreams!
Surreal. Smoky but calm, cool and quiet here

Aug 19 at 12 noon PT. Can hear aircraft circling Okanagan Lake picking up water. Lake Country fire “held” but we’re not safe yet. Thanks to the firefighters working non-stop to keep us safe.

Ten years ago today, I left

When I was 6 or 7 years old and I asked where "Glady- the cross-eyed bear" (Gladly, the cross I bear..") was, one day at Sunday School? I was loudly berated by the teacher, but my Granny, an elder at the church, chuckled all the way home!
At a nail salon wearing my « I voted » sticker. Staff member (recent immigrant from Vietnam) asked me how I made my choice. I explained the differences between the options. Soon had an audience. Everyone was engaged at the end. Healthiest political discussion I’ve had in ages.
Having had the privilege of being on-air for over 20 years, I know how your audience becomes your family. Not being given the chance to say goodbye is beyond class-less, it's cruel. Shame on you Bell.

And he brought me candies at least once a week - and asked me every time before heading into the studio « how’d I look? » to which I would always reply « like a million bucks, Bill! ». He was the best.

It just cannot be true. I mean, it just can't be real. It's too head-shakily, shockingly, unbelievably wrong. On so many levels. I. JUST. CAN'T.. .. sigh.
