Ottawa, June 1, 2026

Hello all. This is just a quick update. My trip to B.C. went very good, and I was able to see most family members there. 

I am looking at my next trip to be to Turkiye later this month. (my computer prefers the old spelling)

The rough plan at this time is to go over to Istanbul and stay in the area for about two weeks. My friends there will probably go to Denmark for the school summer holidays, and I will go before they do so. My little friend will be ten on 24 June, and I want to be there for that. Since I am not allowed to go without 20 Tim Bits, I now have those in the freezer. For those folks who may not know what a Tim Bit is; It is the hole made when they make Donuts. That dough is then cooked with various items sprinkled on them. The company doing so is...Tim Hortons.

I will do an update in about two weeks with the information on the Istanbul trip

Take care/Don
