Young & Carefree

I found these pictures the other day and thought you guys might enjoy them. The one with both Ida & Lyall is dated 1944 and I imagine the other is around the same time, as Gramma is wearing the same unique sunglasses. Note the kid in behind her! (It can't be Jake as this was before his time).

Sunny Sunday

Today we had brekkie at Molly's after first dishing out brekkie for Blackie & Whitey. It's a beautiful sunny day - feels like Summer.

they're ba-ack...

Visiting Emma's uncle in his ceramic studio....which unfortunately just closed

out & about in Gibsons today

It felt good to be up & about today, especially after being stuck in bed sick for the past couple of days. Bonus that the sun was shining. Today we went to the Waterfront Restaurant for brunch - not as tasty as Molly's, but a nice treat anyway (plus I got some good condiment pictures).

this morning

a pot of gold would be nice...

Here's tonight's sunset. Seemed quite appropriate for St.Patricks day.

yesterday & today

It was lovely in Lower yesterday - chilly but clear. But that dark cloud above Grammas Pub was holding a little surprise... 4 inches of snow this morning!

Beaver Canoe

Some people have a tough time letting go of things.
This sweatshirt is at least 33 years old.

Valentine's Day Breakfast at Molly's Reach

Very tasty!!!

Kate & Gramma January 24th

Gibsons in the fog shots

We had lots of snow followed by 20 days of fog. It made for a couple of good pictures though. The sunrise pictures are un-altered. There was cloud above and a bank of fog over the water. The colours of the sunrise bounced off both - it was really quite amazing.

After New Years in the mountains

chrismas night and day

To Calgary & Back - Christmas 2008

Edit: As bad as the driving was, I'm glad we returned when we did..... ALL the mountain passes are closed right now due to avalanches! (Jan. 8th)

I tried to get these pretty much in chronological order (top to bottom).


December 23rd - the day we were supposed to fly out!
This is the reason why we didn't!

Icicles at Horseshoe Bay (from the ferry).

The road trip has begun. January 24th, Rogers Pass.

One of a series of 7 snow tunnels.

Frozen water coming out of the rock face. I tried to capture the lovely glacial blue colour - difficult from a moving vehicle!

Blowing snow over the highway made vision tricky.

Christmas in Calgary - Kate's tree!

Breakfast at Dairylane....yummmmmmmm!
