My brother Haidan's Boat

Haidan in his dingy...you should have seen both of us try to fit in it and have room to actually row the oars!! His legs are even WAY longer than mine! Haidan rowing back from his sailboat. His is he one with the dark bottom. I am so impressed that he built a 36 foot sailboat himself!

Comox Glacier. The view that I grew up with.

Molly the beach bum

Molly LOVES her sticks! She would play with sticks all day and after playing she sits down and chews them apart.

It was really foggy during our camping trip to Cape Lookout a few weekends ago.

Molly and Nate playing

When we first adopted Molly, the family that had her before us had written on the humane society sheet that she hated water. Well, when we take her to the beach, she runs straight for the water....she seems to like it as far as we can see!

Molly, wet and tired from playing in the ocean

Our plum tree is out of control yet again this year. I have been dropping bags off at neighbours and friends for weeks! I also pitted and froze a ton of them for cooking later on. This batch was from a big branch that broke off in the windstorm we had here. I filled twice this much when I picked the rest of the tree! I have made plum sauce, upside down plum cake, plum muffins...what else is there to make with plums??
