Isn’t it nice

Isn’t it nice to have a high speed internet connection? I am still working too late but I like the space to work on my computer without having to tie up my hosts phone line or use theirs. I just climb into bed and work. My bedroom here has a nice peek-a-boo view...

Putting it out there

I had a quiet day today. I reorganized the van when I realized that I couldn’t find my spare key. I now have it. I just have to quit changing purses. Worked on some publicity, organized pictures, slept in, wrote and went for a long walk on the beach at Davis...

Another Ferry and Gibsons

A bit of trouble formatting this post. Don’t know why but hopefully the next one cooperates a little more. vp Yesterday I left Pitt Meadow and headed for Horseshoe Bay to the ferry again. This time I did not have to drive to or from the airport on the way and...

Salmon Berries and Banana Slugs

First, to all of those who volunteered to edit my work…I am so sorry. I know. When working late at night…my eyes just don’t see the mistakes. I know you would. Actually I see them the next day. But I need to send it when I have time. If I sent it to...

Writing, Learning and the BC Medical System

I have spent the last few days at a Freefall Writing Retreat at the Edenvale Retreat Centre. It has been great. If you have never taken a Freefall Writing course of any length, do consider it. The learning here is definitely about writing but many of the ideas have...

Kayaking

June 4th Today I loaded Debbie’s bright orange kayak in the van and headed out to the lake. I wanted to go to the free store to look for a sun dress, mason jars and a bit of lumber to raise the bed in the van so I said goodbye to Deb and headed out with a map in...

Clams and Oysters

Cortes Island June 3 Today was great. It was 27 degrees and we knew that a swim was going to be part of the plan. First we went back to Manson’s Landing to dig some clams and get some oysters for dinner. I was surprised that when the tide was low the clams were...

I’ve NEVER done that before

I am staying with my Uncle Bob and Aunt Henriette in Campbell River for the weekend and today, after breakfast, Bob asked if I would like to go to Mount Washington on Mandy the baby blue BMW RT 1100. What? Ride all the way there (about 45 minutes) on a motorcycle? I...

Horseshoe Bay or More Adventures in Transportation

I really enjoyed Horseshoe Bay. It is so cute tucked into the mountain as it rises steeply out of the water that people could accuse it of being trendy. Starbucks and a Blenz coffee shop, ice cream, art gallary, marinea and Ferry terminal. It doesn’t look like a...
