GONE FISHIN'

 

This summer has been the best summer I've had in years. I can't believe it's already the middle of August. This is me fishing at Kootenay lake, gorgeous lake it is.... AND i caught a fish!

love the felice

this song gives me shivers....i can't believe we have to miss seeing them in calgary

...tis a shame

all i need is some sunshine.....

pal time

My 2 best buds came to visit me last week with a forecast of rain we had a day where the sun prevailed. We made our way to the river with a picnic lunch and found a cozy nook to settle in. We sat and drank beers with only the river and mountains as neighbors and the sun stayed on us for hours. I gotta say it was one of the greatest days I've had here. Conrad and Sarah you cats are the best. xo

Headin to Edmonton

These gals are on their way to a cute lil' boutique hair salon called Ponytails and Horseshoes. They carry a few different local designers as well as Toms shoes. They have had my earrings in the salon for over a year now and were happy to keep them in even though I was moving away-- which I think is top-notch! So now I send them new stock every month or so......

Check em' out!

SPRING! in Revelstoke

Flowers already up in our yard. This means a lot to an Alberta girl in March (ya,ya it's April now but they were up last week).
I do not miss Edmonton winters in the least. I can't believe I didn't get out of there sooner....really.

Do not stand at my grave and weep

Do not stand at my grave and weep,

I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am in a thousand winds that blow,

I am the softly falling snow.

I am the gentle showers of rain,

I am the fields of ripening grain.

I am in the morning hush,

I am in the graceful rush

Of beautiful birds in circling flight,

I am the starshine of the night.

I am in the flowers that bloom,

I am in a quiet room.

I am in the birds that sing,

I am in each lovely thing.

Do not stand at my grave bereft

I am not there. I have not left.

Earrings at Sangha Bean

These feathery-gals made their way down to a local coffee shop here in Revelstoke called Sangha Bean. It's a great little fairtrade organic coffee and tea house located right downtown. It is a great place for local artists to display and sell their handmade stuff. I like that Sangha Bean also does not offer disposable cups for their drinks, if one wants a coffee to go and has not brought their own cup then they are asked for a one dollar deposit for a Mason Jar. That way on their next visit on returning the jar they get their buck back. It's a great little system I'd say.

Here's a link to an article from the Revelstoke Times on the Sangha Bean:

Our New Home

Well I have finally made the leap outta good ol' faithful Edmonton. On to the moist mountainous air of Revelstoke. It's fresh here and I like it.

This is our snowy abode and me and Newt down by the Columbia River.....Geez it's been quite sometime since my last blog entry. Shame on me. I promise to be better and I will.
