HIGHLIGHTS FROM OUR GRANDSON COLES MS FUNDRAISING

Image
Got this email tonight from Tanya in Courtenay and wanted to share our JOY!!!!    She says:  "Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thank you once again for all your generous donations.  The MS Walk was so much fun and we had great weather for it.  Cole was REALLY into the whole thing, especially the warm up that my fitness instructor did at the beginning to one of his favorite songs, Boom, Boom, Pow.  Cole pretty much cleared a ten foot radius with his over-zealous jumping jacks and left everyone in stiches.  Mom joined me with Annika so it was nice to add two more to our team of 17.  We managed to raise $345 in total, $35 of which Cole did on his own through giving out Grandma's brownies at the school.  Our team in total raised over $3000 and the walk brought in over $31,000 to this great cause so thanks for being part of our special day. Hope you all had a fantastic week.Tanya and Cole     Way to go ...

OH Gee It Was Only 80 Degrees yesterday!!!

Image
Brrrrrrr!!!!!!  Went down to 59 degrees  in the night but went up to 85 today with Courmwels blowing gently and  clear skies.  Perfect weather for what we have to do the next few days.  The Captain is amazing and has pretty much got The White Shell all ready to be put on the hard for the next six months.  Never realized but there is a lot to do to insure that your vessel is hurricane safe as well as protected from extreme heat and rodents and bugs. If anyone wants details you can check the Club Crusiero web site listed in our favourite links on the ride side bar!!   Listed under La Paz info. Or you can chat with Claes anytime.........just Skype him!

WALMART COMES TO THE RESCUE

We are in the packing mode and the speed is picking up. Early in the morning we left the dock in Tony and Bonitos little Honda SUV who spent most of the day driving us around to do  our errands.  What a blessing that was as it got up to 100 degrees again yesterday!

THE BEGINING OF THE END

Image
Yes,  our time is coming to a conclusion for this season. Enjoyed an early walk to Cross Roads Church to meet with our faith friends after being away for over a month.  It was great to see and hear that they are all well.  The walk back was made quickly as it has begun to get very very warm even by 11 am.  Stopped in to the Club to take in a work shop on "Making Bread in Five Minutes".  Got a few great tips as this is the book that I have been utilizing suggested by my friend Rita in Comox.  Thanks girl! The evening was highlighted with a pot luck aboard S/V Iron Maiden with Laura and Bill. That is them on the right!!  Thanks guys!
