Weekend fun

Margo and Pam came for the weekend, and despite some rain, we had a lovely time. Went to the Little Qualicum Cheeseworks, bought some goodies, tasted some wine, and saw the farm again.

One of these lovelies had twins just 2 weeks ago, who we saw with the kids (human variety) last week, but who were missing in action this day. Probably back in the barn all warm and cozy.

We also attended a concert at Knox United Church, starring Shari Ulrich and daughter, but these three talented young brothers were the opening act, and played wonderful jazz.

Shari and daughter Julia Graff played, sang and were so personable and charming. Shari has a new cd and played some of those new tunes, as well as some of the old ones we are all familiar with from long ago. She still has an amazing voice and moving, meaningful lyrics in all her music. Great show, which we attended with Maggie, Ingrid, Sandy, Gladys, Margo and Pam, and came back to our place afterwards for a glass of wine.

Neccesity...........

Hey......what is that white thing coming down the road........? No, not the deer, the white thing........?

So Necessity is the Mother of Invention, right, so we had this freezer we wanted to move to our house, and it was too big to go in the car. So................I took the dolly, loaded it up, and walked it home from the locker, which is only a couple of blocks away.

Some people take their dogs for a walk.........some people take their freezer.......!

Now don't laugh.......it was kind of fun, and it did the job!! Our little freezer is now ensconsed in our laundry room and is already full of goodies!

Chiik Update

Chiik and 16 year old grumpy Dax are not exactly friends yet, but they are getting closer.....literally......for the occasional nap......!

Chiik loves to go outside on his harness. Here he is climbing his very first Canadian tree, the one on our deck. He was pretty tentative, but he is an adventurer, so had a great time.

Such a good time, in fact, that he made it almost to the very top.......!

And here they are again, just yesterday, having a nap together on our bed. Sweet!
