sourceWe have arrived. Safely, thank the Lord.It was not a good drive. For some reason, I was not in the mood to drive 6.5 hours and my Princess was not in the mood to sleep or watch her DVD. She just wanted to whine to us and make things difficult.Toddlers do that sometimes, don’t they? When we arrived I was physically and mentally exhausted. {You’d think I would be used to all this traveling by now and let it all slide off me like it was nothing.}The home we are staying in is beautiful though. … [Read more...]
Caribou Acorns
Can you all guess what this is?I was sitting on the couch visiting new friends here in Quesnel, British Columbia, when my Princess walked in with a “surprise”. She opened her hand and dumped what looked to be an acorn into my palm. I could see my husband’s barely suppressed laughter and I asked “What is this?”To which he replied, “It comes out of the rear end of a moose!”Then, they all busted up laughing. Yep, you got that right, MOOSE POOP!?!Yes, my family is slightly weird. {Luckily it was … [Read more...]

Fraser River
There really is a lot of beauty to be found in British Columbia. When we arrived here, I was in awe of the Fraser River at the end of winter. With snow and ice in and around the river, it is a beautiful sight. There is a pedestrian bridge in the town of Quesnel that we walked out on for photos. What a beautiful day too! This is one great benefit of traveling. We get to see and visit so many great things. You know what we also love about British Columbia? Tim Hortons. Google it. "God … [Read more...]

She was excited to try it. {Believe me, she loves new things like this!}The weather was pretty warm and the snow still pretty deep. A perfect afternoon for snow time adventures.Where was I you ask?Inside the … [Read more...]
Blameless
sourcePraise the Lord!We are not to blame for the recent flooding of the basement!God answered our prayers. We specifically prayed that when they put the snake into the septic tank that nothing would come up that would show we were at fault. {I mean if we were at fault we would gladly own up to it as a mistake. But we really didn't believe we could be at fault.}The only thing to come up was blond hair. We are not blond.So, with the help of a camera they found a blocakge further down. The … [Read more...]
