Charlotte Rides the Log on Hornby Island

Just a week or two ago, Tim, Andi and Charlotte went to Hornby Island with Andi's parents Bill and Jo and Granny Liz. They stayed in a lovely cabin on Whaling Station Bay, one of the lovely bays with glorious beaches on Hornby. This picture of Charlotte was one of many fine pictures they took on the trip. A good time was had by all.

Tim and Andi at The Edge

Just a short while ago I picked up our local Comox Valley Magazine from the mailbox. As I glanced at the cover, I happened to notice this fine looking young couple gazing into each other's eyes from on the cover. As I looked closer, lo and behold I recognized Tim and Andi. Apparently the local editor had been wanting such a picture to be taken for the cover, so Jo, Andi's Mum who works for the paper got this all set up with the photographer for a morning shot at the Edgewater Pub in Comox. The picture turned out beautifully, so now we are in the line to get autographs from Andi and Tim! Posted by Picasa

Cynthia's Birthday

A week ago today, on June 12th., Cynthia had yet another birthday! My how the years go by! It hardly seems a year since we were celebrating her birthday last year. Does she have more birthdays per year than the rest of us or does it happen that way for all of us? Anyway, enough of this foolishness.
We had a barbecue for her in the back garden. Jean, Ron, Claire, Tim, Andi, Charlotte, Ben and Josée came and I did the 'burning'. We had a grand time and ate to our stomachs' capacities. The other folks brought salads, nibblies and buns and I got the meat. The wine flowed and the day was fine. In the picture you can see Cynthia with Charlotte who coped well with all the big bodies around, ones which she doesn't see on a regular basis. However, she is getting very good at being in a crowd now. Cynthia really enjoyed herself having the family around and quietly confided in me after all was done, that she'd had a fine time and would much rather have the family over to the house than go out for a meal. I'm glad she had a good time, for she is a wonderful lady and we all love her dearly. Happy birthday again Cynth! Posted by Picasa
