Aug 26 to Aug 30 --2006


Together again fishing the South Thompson River. Dave and Neti came back down to do some salmon fishing and camping. We had four great days...of fun and camp fires.

We meet people from Europe that had brought this neat camper truck alltrain vehicle.
They had been to Africa and on a safari ..the windows had bars over them so that the animals could not get in. Nice people..they thought our province was beautiful so much to see and do.

We did do a night in town a dinner and then the casino..Barry was the luck one. We all had fun my mom came along with us. We can't wait to meet again with David and Neti..we love them dearly. Thanks for the good time and great memories.
(Oh yes to date the biggest salmon caught was 28 pounds. They also catch them off the Pritchard Bridge ...is neat to watch them and how they do it.)

She arrived wih her two children two days after the wedding and into a home that was so busy trying to get our home ready for it to be put on the market. But what a friend and team player she pitched right in and was a big help. Barry had started to fix a wall and need it sanded and primed and there she was ...I had to work so she jumped right in..like she was family.

The next day we were moving stuff into storage and had a house full for dinner and their was Alison again..cooking hot dogs and hamburgers for all.

CONGRATULATION MR & MRS COWAN

MRS SHARLEY DAWN COWAN.....

way to go Bobby




Sharley wrote these vows to:

Bobby...
You are my best friend.
For better or for worse.
Before you, all of this was nothing more than a dream
And it was a nice dream
But you came in and you made it a reality
My reality
And you've made it a beautiful reality
You...
You took a chance on a girl
On a girl who had almost given up
Someone that had little beleif
No luck, and a whole lot of baggage
And you showed her love
You gave her hope
And you asked her to marry you
I just can't beleive that girl is me
I want you to know...
That I need you
I promise to protect you
And I will always try to be careful with your heart
I will honor you
I will love you
And I will always be honest and faithful
Know that I trust you
I beleive in you
And that I will never give up on this marriage
Our family, or our friendship
So today...
I give you my heart
My soul and my love
And am truly priveleged to become your wife.
I love you...



Bobby wrote these vows to:

Sharley
As i sat down to write my vows i started thinking
about the last few years and how it
could not be summed up by some words on a

piece of paper, it is an overwhelming
feeling that almost takes the breath from my chest.

I remember before we met how
lost i was not knowing what i wanted,

and then by the grace of family, i was introduced
to you. My heart sank I couldn't think, talk ,

nothing i just stared. My thought to myself was how to not
screw this up, so i just didn't talk. A couple of days went by
and i started to realize that this was it.

This was the women I was going to spend the
rest of my life with.
Now more than ever, today more than yesterday
I know i will love you as my wife and my best friend
I promise to Love you every second of every day
As I will be there with you for whatever comes our way
I will honour you, respect you and charish you
I will keep giving you a kiss before i leave anywhere
and no matter how many more fish you catch,

i will always love you...
You are the sun in my sky.
and the anchor in my life.
And I would be honoured if you would be my wife..............
