The Buzz Queen

… unless it keeps raining of course!
The weather at the lake has been beautiful all week, but started to change today so I decided it was a good day to come home and do some laundry. I checked the weather report and it doesn’t look good for the next few days, so we shall […]

We were talking out at the lake the other day about all the neat things you can cook around a campfire. One of the ladies mentioned these individual cakes which you bake in a hollowed out orange. I’d never heard of that one, so I looked it up, and found this recipe:
Cake in […]

One of my girlfriends won a party cruise a while ago and booked it for this past Saturday. There were eight of us Moms, who all left our kids on the beach at the campground, and we didn’t come back for six hours! It was so much fun.

At first we went up the […]

We’re back from the lake for a day or so to re-group, re-stock and most importantly, have a good bath!
Mikayla has been away at camp for six days, so Kristanna was more than happy to have the old (and now fixed) SeaDoo all to herself!

Mattie’s cot bed arrived a few weeks ago, but he has […]

The Mountie and the girls have already headed out to the lake with the travel trailer. Mattie & I will be joining them when they have camp all set up as soon as I get some very important last minute stuff done around here.

Not that I think I could do it any better or faster, (you couldn’t pay me enough to be out in the heat banging a hammer) but there’s been two guys here since Monday. It’s becoming a big pain in the ass as […]

The girls and I were talking last night, and we realized that our cat, Missy, is 8 years old already. So Mikayla, with all her tact and sensitivity, asked if we could get a bird when Missy dies.
I said no way, but maybe a fish.
Then we started laughing as we remembered the time when […]

I’m not sure how long this ‘fence’ has been there, but I’ve passed it many times on trips back home. It’s between Keremeos and Osooyos in the Okanagan.
It’s quite odd, isn’t it?

Kristanna took these shots, and had so much fun taking pictures on our trip that she decided to use her birthday money to […]

Kristanna and I are finally home! We had a nice time away, but it sure is great to be able to sleep in my own bed again!
We took our time driving home, and stopped and spent the night with our old neighbours from Kaslo. Too much food & beer and far too […]
