Tora and I invented a new game
using the rolls of Fat Q's purchased at the Merchants Mall.

Coastal Adventures: from Gibsons Landing to Fort Langley,BC

History of CBC's "Beachcombers" starts here.

Unique fence in Village of Fort Langley,BC.

Tora learning the history of fur trading

and salmon fishing of Fort Langley.

Best buy for two bucks!

I found this little two-wheeler (with training wheels) for $2 at a church sale last week.

Jace loves it and calls it his own. He now loves pedalling up and down our little street.

The paint may be peeling, tires need a bit more air, and rubber is coming off the training wheels but it looks like the bigger one that Jagger has and he can ride this one!!!

Keeping Cool

Jace loves his bobcats and diggers

With leftover fabric from Jace's quilt, I decided to make one for our house.
When he saw the finished 'blankie', he went to my sewing room and chose the little bits that I sewed together for a cover his digger - his idea!! Then I took ALL the scraps and made another little one perfect for another bigger digger, he says!!
