MARCH 10 2026 Comox Valley and more specificialy 2oth street in Courtenay........have lived here for the past 11 years. It was pretty exciting that evening in early October 2015 when The Captain called me from "Camp" ... yes, he had gone back to work in the "bush" one more time! Seemed like those BIG Off-Road logging trucks were calling him again.......or was it the beauty of the West Coast Mountains and critters that he just had to see one more time? Not sure but I digress.....somethings never change. LOL "Yeah, babe I bought us a house today!!" and that started our time at Japonica Park and so much has happened...... Stay tuned and lets catchup !!

ANOTHER YEAR ANOTHER SEASON….. welcome

HAPPY NEW YEAR - January 2025 Sitting around the breakfast table this morning with two young guests and one subject lead to another and the photo books got drug out and the story began to be retold…….one after another tales of the sea led us back to THE BLOG.   So here we are a few years older and much much wise lol the retelling stirred in us the joy of the adventure we have been on the two of for nearly 49 years…….all is well on the Petri front.

  My most favourite month of the year.     June…… 2024 Welcome back and we are so happy that you are visiting us again!    We managed to get through our Canadian winter as the weather was rather amiable. Yes we were blessed to keep warm and dry aw we ploughed through a little bit of snow.   OH MY yes I do love playing in the snow besides shovelling it is a great work out… dont ya know????   Now spring is nearly over and between the rain which is much appreciated and the wind we are surround by the glorious  greenery and flowers with their splashes of color……….its a good life here on Vancouver Island!  So with summer just around the corner we look forward to enjoying the beauty and tranquility of our many favourite spots either with the sailboat or the little holiday trailer we have. Keep posted and please leave a message under comments.

MEMORIES……….are made of this!

  I woke up today with a touch of a sore throat; not sick enough to make a request for light duty but uncomfortable to the point of not wanting to do much. I forced myself out of the bunk. You know how it is-- if you sleep during the day --night comes sleepless! Not wanting to waste the day sniffing and drinking tea .. i do prefer coffee……I attempted to keep myself busy with my chores. My interest quickly waned and I found myself at my desk……I began sorting through the small cupboard that acts as our filing cabinet. Yes, reminding me of the past  boat rule: all items must have two purposes which now  applies to our land home……here in the Comox Valley.   As I thought  of past years piled high within these  files of book work and accounts for our lives i managed a smile and reached  into the back section of the  cabinet.     I knew there was one file that held no numbers;  this plain ivory colored manila folder secured wi...

Happy New Year !
