This is a good summer for our family. John has his free boat in the water and was fishing last night. I helped him drag his boat into the water (free boats don't need trailers) so he could go out and check his crab pot - which is missing as he thinks he and Sarah put it out with too little line to the buoy - and he stayed out there fishing until I came back from my AlAnon meeting. When I went to help him bring the boat in, it was certainly a beautiful sight; calm waters, John and his boat, fishing, BIG tug with BIGGER log boom chugging past, Vancouver Island in the distance. Aah I am most grateful for my life...
Yesterday afternoon Amber spotted my new beads that just came in the mail - very funky colourful shell pendants and acrylic beads - and announced she wanted to make a necklace. So I showed her a few supplies, and gave some basic instructions, and away she went! We had to stop to make supper and go to my meeting, but as soon as I got back she was sitting at the table waiting to finish it. I'll post a picture this afternoon after I get back from work; it is quite lovely and summerish!!
Tonight is outrigger paddling, I think the whole team is going to show up. It looks as if it will be a lovely day for it. I bought a few rock plants to put between the rocks where the sign is, and i'll put those in when i get back tonight. I bought 4 different plants so I can see which one I like the best. Try as I might, I couldn't find the plants labelled "Purple and pink rock garden plants that the person that lives on the detour when they are working on the highway putting in the water main" anywhere....
