Liz's Story
I have retired from full time but still do part time stuff to keep busy.
I recently started piano/keyboard lessons. Love it!
I have two kids and 4 grandchildren and love spending time with them.
I have travelled extensively and hope to do more.
About Bonnie Doon, I remember the Lancers winning the provincial championship. I also remember learning to ball room dance from George Tribes' brother Klaus who later started the dance club.
After 2 years in University I got married in 1965 and divorced in 1973. However, I continued with my education and eventually ended teaching in a number of Colleges. I am currently retired from an administrative position.
I used to run (until my knees conked out). Now, I like to walk.
I love reading mysteries and watching crime shows.
Adopted a dog from a rescue society. He is just over a year old now. Keeps me active:)
Now living in Calgary. Attend community wine appreciation evenings.
Planning a cruise to Canary Islands in new year (2013).
2013
Cruise was great except for some rough weather the firs...Expand for more
t two days at sea. My sister, Nina, also a Bonnie Doon grad went with me. We had a good time. Casa Blanca was my favorite stop.
In May I had one knee replacement done which has gone really well. Now waiting to get the second one done. No more running though:(
My dog is now 75 lbs and keeps me out walking! I swear he is part coyote.
2020
Since 2013 I have had my second knee replaced. Best decision I ever made. They work like new:) In 2016 I took a cruise to Alaska and later that summer went to Australia for a month with my daughter and her son. I connected with two cousins that I had never met. It was quite the trip - Brisbane-Sydney-Tasmania-Adelaide-Ayres Rock-Alice Springs-Great Barrier Reef. In 2017 I tried a river cruise on the Danube to see the Christmas markets. Since then I haven't travelled very far, mostly just to Vancouver to visit family or to the Island to visit friends. I'm hoping to make a trip to Portugal and France next year if all goes well.
I am currently spending my time at home waiting out the corona virus:(
