It’s a great thing this internet business. You get to meet the nicest people. On Monday I moseyed over to Vernon to my friend K’s house. Gina was also in town visiting her family and she had her cutey daughter Samara with her. It was fun just watching the kids play… even though K’s daughter [...]
Jrock and his friend K went to elementary school together… He was the best man at our wedding and he’s always up for a good time!
This weekend J and K went skiing/boarding up at Big White and then we introduced him to the wonderful world of wine tasting.

K and J both got discounted lift [...]
My mom and I spent a nice day away - slowing winding down the valley through Peachland, Summerland and Penticton.
We had lunch at a lovely bakery - Bliss Bakery in Peachland. Check out that pink cupcake!
We visited Summerland Sweets to buy some jams and syrups… and found out there was a trestle bridge for a [...]
My mom (and briefly dad) was in town so we took a cruise up to Vernon to visit my Aunties - they are actually my Grandpa’s sisters. They are hilarious and lots of fun. You’d never imagine they are 89/93. Thank goodness I have that Polish/Ukrainian blood in my veins - I’m going to live for [...]
My sis has been living without her husband since January when he moved 1/2 their household to the Rockies. She’s moving at the end of the school year to join him, but for the meanwhile it was a happy reunion in Kelowna today. It’ll be nice to have them about 5 hours away - it’ll be [...]
THANKS to Haze and Rhonda for taggin’ me.
I suppose this wold be considered peer pressure - must proceed with game or else! Juz jokin. Let’s see if I can come up with something.

ok. I went and asked J to help me. He is fountain of weird facts about me:
My hair has been the following colours: [...]
He’s exHAUSTED! but he did a really good job this year.Â
Looks like we’re getting a refund - good dog!
On Monday, Jrock agreed to take a little hike with me. I’m leading a group on Friday, and I wanted to scout out the route before I lead 15 people along it.
We guestimated it would take 1 1/2 hours… little did we know. Click below to see some pics and the short version of the story!

Just in case anyone starts to get excited!  These are not OUR kids - These pictures are of the little girl in Addis Ababa that we are sponsoring through Canadian Humanitarian.Â
“H” is just four years old - what a sweetie pie! and we just got pictures of her this week. It’s definitely not as [...]
Here we go… we’re at six months now of waiting. Honestly, the last couple of weeks have probably been easier waiting than the rest of the time, because at least we have some reasonable end to the wait in sight. “Top of the list.” We’re counting on that.
Both of us think that we will get [...]
Friends;
I know several families that have been waiting for MONTHS for someone in the Nairobi High Commission ofice to stamp their children’s paperwork so they can go pick them up. These kids are just waiting and waiting and waiting… for a family, for stability and love. It’s time to write some letters and demand a [...]
I think it’s time, for us waiting and for our friends waiting, to post some more “special moments.” These keep me going -
