Weekend adventures and misadventures

For my birthday I wanted a weekend with friends and a comfortable place to sit!

interesting conversations 

and great food 

I did NOT want a test of our emergency evacation procedures when Maddy lost her balance and put her hands on the wood stove!!!
Fortunately, we had Mike on hand for some first aid and Jodi for TLC until she got to the emergency room in Vancouver. And she is now on the mend.

At Maddy's request we didn't let the crisis ruin our weekend and had a great Sunday of disc golf.



An adventurous and memorable weekend!

Help Gambier Island

Gambier Island is facing numerous environmental threats at the moment when we are seeing a rebirth of wildlife. Wolves, whales, owls and more, all around us we see evidence of an eco-system on the rebound. But that resurgence is threatened by plans to allow clear-cutting, develop LNG plants, sink warships.
