Tic Toc


Hey everyone,

if you don't know by now and don't live life in Coldstream or Poplar Hill, then you don't know about the next picnic lip sinc. This is where local kids from Valleyviel School participate in many events over the afternoon, and then later in the day a Lip Sinc Competition. Mary is performing the hit song Tic Toc for this years' lip sinc for Poplar Hill picnic. Here is photo of last years winning performance as "Hillary Puff" singing "Happy" in 2009!


Thanks for checking in....

We are Jeep-Family


Sorry for the time span between postings...life is like that.


Well the weather has finally arrived to make changes to Jon's Jeep (also known as Precious). The family really knows when the summer time has truly hit, when both the hard top and the doors are ripped off Precious, and this usually calls for a celebratory drive down the concession, or some fun playing with the big toy!



Boys still enjoy their toys. Me thinks this may be the start of a new found hobby.

Rain Rain go away....


No , not really, in fact, I enjoy a good rain. Not a storm -A storm is much different than what I grew up with. I mean a good ol fashion rain that lasts, oh lets say, about 20 days or more. (yeah, in a row)

You see, I'm orginally from the Left Coast, where it can be grey, gloomy and rainy most of the time and everyone gets all excited about blue sky showing in the sky the odd time.

Today we had a good ol fashion Vancouver rain, as usual it turned into a thunderstorm later in the day, which is just okay by Gyp's standards, since she loves to chase thunder away.....

This is suppose to last the entire weekend, which really is a disappointment for some, but not for this West Coast gal.

Have a great weekend, and thanks for stopping by - Barbara

Sitting Pretty

Well, here I am blogging you. I said I'd never do it, besides who has time to sit and read blogs all day? Nonetheless, here I am blogging you all anyway. I promise to keep them short and sweet!

My first blog is about my 'other' hobby, which is chicken fancy. I have a small flock and currently I have another banty named 'Oprah' this spring that has gone broody. I've spent better part of the morning trying to sort out Oprah's problems of being kicked out of her nest by the other birds when they come to set. Getting kicked out of a nest really gets Ophrah's panties in quite a knot!


I've finally decided to seperate her from the flock, so I put her in a small dog Kennel with food and water where she can set for the next 21 days in peace.

Thanks for visiting and Have a great day- Barbara
