STORIES

We had a good relaxing visit with Craig's parents
Germaine and Willy!

Yes we heard some stories about Craig that he has kept quiet about all these years.  Even some of Leah which was a change as she is always telling stories about us!
Growing up in Ashcroft was an interesting time for them both.

We shared about our early years and heard stories about theirs too/



Ophelia found some chocolate candies I had hidden from grandpa.

He has now decided to cut down on sugar because of a Ted Talk he watched.

I know I should do that too.

We stayed in the house as it was cool until Ophelia led the way out to the back.


Astrid had a short nap before sitting out back on her mom's knee.

I wish there had been a little more breeze.

The message at church was to be open to the moment and surrender to the light of grace that surrounds you.  Faith and prayer are an important part of my story.

Some moments like hearing the stories of others, or taking a picture of a beaver pond, or holding a baby or just sitting dreaming can be healing and calming.

To-morrow we drop off a trunk load to food at the food bank,
We are a small but very generous community.

Our stories will live on even when our church closes.

I was up early yesterday and got my gardening done and then was inside most of the day.

Packed away the rest of the toys, but not too far as I am hoping Stephen and Shawna come out for the August long weekend.

Oh, and Hobey arrives on August 3, not sure if anyone has told you. He said he is going to his friends in Vancouver and then will come out to see us on the weekend.

I was wondering about Hobey.

Looking forward to his visit with us.
