Holidays are good!




Good Evening, or whatever is the best greeting to you, in your part of the world!

We arrrived back fresh from Pasley earlier in the afternoon; and will be returning tomorrow for the next couple of weeks.

A good time was had by all; ourselves and our out of town friend. We all felt we had been away for months! LOL! Until we hit the bit traffic in the city today. Back to tid reality and fumes.

Things worked out better for us, re: coming back today; inasmuch as returning later this week prior to the busy start of a long weekend. We have done our banking / bills, laundrey, watering of plants etc. Tomorrow, we will repack and shop for our 2 week R & R. As I mentioned in a recent post, we will be having a full house up there; lots of happy moments to look forward to.

Also, I am a bittid more comfortable in using our digital camera; however, the credit goes to our out of town friend who shared a wealth of tidbit info with me, on how to download the photos to the computer! Hence, these 3 are authentic! The top photo is of our Blueheeler, in the water 'herding' some Canada Geese, who just before sunset, pick our beach for resting, nesting, and nourishment. Blue is becoming quite the 'water dog!' He will be swimming before too long! The second photo is a picture showing the magnificent sunset to the right of our bay; and the other photo is from our deck, overlooking our bay. Perhaps you can see the large old stump on the beach!

Our dear Blue is exhausted; he had a few doggie friends that came by; and they chased each other round and round! Plus running after and retrieving sticks! We saw soaring eagles, swooping right down to the water for their salmon; deer munching contentedly, mink, seals; all very lovely and peaceful.

We even had a bittid of a rescue operation last night. A kayacker was tipped over in his kyack in our bay; and because of the strong undercurrents / tides etc, he had to swim in the cold water, with the kyack. Fortunately, there were 4 others with him. They landed on our beach; and 2 of the 4 kyacks were left behind for them to come back and land portage them to their location. They are one of the families on the island; however, it was a tidbit of a fright, when it first happened. Plus, it was sunset and the ocean was 'freshening up', higher waves, sea breeze etc.

Tidbit - When you have a chance to enjoy a 'holiday', forget everything else and just 'chill out'. We ended up having the best sleeps; inhaling all that wonderful ocean air!

Bittid - Appreciate learning new things. ie picture taking and downloading them; or whatever you joyfully experience!

Here is wishing you a nice couple of weeks.

God Bless.
