The letter of note this week is P
P is for Penticton, our closest small city, located in the Okanagan Valley
just over the hill from the Similkameen
In the midst of spring blossoms
a place of blue skies, blue waters and blue hills
orchards and vineyards
fun and frolic, floating down the river channel
the historic SS Sicamous, which plied the length of Okanagan Lake in early days
festive summer streets
beautiful sandy beaches to laze on and swimming to cool off
Munson's Mountain with its famous Penticton sign,
warm in my heart because it is where Charles and I became engaged almost 70 years ago
a lake tug from bygone days
A wonderful place to visit, - do come and see us!
More great P's at Mrs. Nesbitt's ABC Wednesday, here.

Your city looks positively enchanting, we have friends in Mission, perhaps a trip is on the calendar.
My goodness, this looks like a delightful place. The water, hills and beautiful landscape. You picked the perfect P to post.
Wow! Thanks for the tour and for showing these photos. How romantic to have met your husband there Hildred! I should like to do this tour if I had the time!
What a gorgeous place. Your photography captured it so well.
When we lived up North, we had orchards like your first picture, and rows of grapevines.
Very nice post.
pretty place!

Lots of memories here, Hildred. How wonderful that you and Charles got engaged by the big sign. I love the shots of Lake Okanagan, but that beach on Skaha Lake was one of my favourites when I was young.
