Jace at Grandma Val's

Jace has been at Grandma Val's during the day this week as he is recovering from a stomach flu and now baby Jet is sick and only wants his mommy. When we were swinging at the park yesterday, Jace said he wanted to dig in the sand but all the stuff was at home. Today Jace helped water the garden. Grandma promised to take him to the park to play on the swing and dig in the sand. He put his new bucket and shovel in the stroller, then climbed in and fell asleep!!

The New Winery

Construction on the new winery for Ex Nihilo has started. The foundation is being built using styrofoam blocks. Okanagan Lake in backgound.

Tora is 1 and Grandpa Gord is 65!!!!

One birthday party for the June babies: Tora was 1 on June 11 and Grandpa Gord became a pensioner on June 19. Decoa and Brian built the castle cake perfect as Tora will soon be visiting Toyko Disneyland and Gord often talked of building a castle complete with moat! Jace helped

Grandma Val bake the cakes.

Jet had a trip to the hospital, Fri night after he fell in the shower cutting his head.
Six stitches later and he's looking tough.

Baby Tora and her parents (Kylie & Brian) and Auntie Centel & Uncle Barrett along with Grandma Val & Grandpa Gord sang Happy Birthday while Jet danced and clapped on the table!! Brother Jace even had his hair styled -blue was the color of the day!! Mom Decoa baked two cakes (pool party was chosen by his older brothers). Jet enjoyed both cakes.

Gone Quilting

I was invited to join a quilting retreat at Yarrow near Chiliwack, BC May 5 to 9. 4 days and nights of quilting and sharing. We stayed at a Hazelgreen B & B where ALL our meals were provided. All we had to do sew,eat, and sleep!!!

Originally this group all lived at Holiday Park Resort; now only one gal still resides there.

but they all remembered Marg Balen from Drayton Valley who made big, big quilts and everytime she came she taught them something new. The gal in pink is Moyra who now lives in Powell River.

The gal in navy holding the green runner is Donella who is my hero for many reasons. At 80, she beautifully and very quickly stitched up two wall hangings before she made the runner. Brenda, in denim shirt, invited me when someone else had to cancel. A great week. I'll post my projects soon.
