Pictures in Riverside Park

Yesterday after work I went to the park to eat lunch and take a few pictures!

Summer Days

Things are pretty busy around here. I have been working three to four days a week this summer which is great!

Starting this past Friday Dad has taken off three weeks of "vacation". During vacation we are moving one building, tearing down two and then rebuilding one as a shed.... In that time frame we will be doing some vacation things I'm sure.

This weekend I am going near Cornwall to "Journey to The Father". It is a youth retreat for ages 13-19. It sounds like it will be a great weekend. I am going with two sisters from our Church. I am hoping to get a camera before I go... if not maybe Shawn will lend me his. Either way hopefully there will be pictures!

10 days from now Josh Groban is coming to town! I can hardly wait...

July 1st and More

Our Internet has been cutting out, on and off the past few weeks hence my lack of blogging! Soooo.... Happy Canada Day everyone! Canada day for me (and the day before) was spent doing inventory at work.... I can now honestly tell you that I know 99.99 of everything that we have in the store....

After I finished up inventory I joined Shawn and Scott at a Youth Group event that was going on at the Jahn's house. We had a swim and then drove over to see the fireworks in Almonte.

Last night we had long time friends of ours, the Poons over for a visit. We have known them since I was 6 months old! Gosh, suddenly I feel old...

They are moving from their home in Ottawa to Calgary this month so this dinner together was our last time together for a while. We are going to miss them. Dad travels to Calgary a few times a year so Mom and Dad will hopefully see them at different times. Chris is home from Hong Kong. He has been doing mission work there over the past 8 months.

Playing Apples to Apples (I lost badly)

Last Monday, Mom and I went to see Leah, Alexia and Lina for a few hours. Little Lina is getting so big! Here is sweet Alexia.

Yogurt is fun!

Baby Lina

Have a great week everyone!

Afternoon Out and Pleasant Surprises!

Today, Mom and I went to out with my Grandma, Aunt Gwen and Cousins Natalie, Mary and Leah for the afternoon. We all met up in Barrhaven and then drove together to Manotick where they were having their annual "Dickinson Day" in honour of the towns founder Moss Kent Dickinson. They had the main street in town closed down and all the little shops had displayed their wares all along the street. We stopped for lunch at a nice cafe nearby. On our way home Mom and I stopped at Bayshore to do some shopping.

While we were gone my dear brother Scott finished weeding our large vegetable garden. He has been working very hard the last couple of weeks doing that for us. Thank-you Scott! There was alot more weeds then normal this year 'cause last year we didn't end up doing a garden. It's great to be doing it again! There will be pictures hopefully in the next few weeks...

Also while we were gone Dad and Shawn cleaned all the windows around the house and powerwashed all the screens! Thank-you Dad and Shawn! It's amazing what can get done when you leave the house for the afternoon....

"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, His love endures forever".

My Summer Days...

The weather has changed and it looks like we are going to have a nice cooler weekend.


Thursday was our last drama practice when we took apart some scenes that we found needed work from the rehearsal. Saturday is the big day! Show time :)



On Wednesday I went with Caroline to see a movie in the city and then spent the night at her house. We had a really fun time. Nice to see you Caroline! Caroline, Tannis (her Mom) and Louise (maybe her sister Rosie) are all coming for the drama performance :)


Today was spent doing some cleaning around the house and Mom and I giving my room a good cleaning. Also getting ready for tomorrow and making sure my drama lines are just right. Scott also is cleaning out the chicken coop today - a very kind gesture.


Have a wonderful weekend everyone and I will be back with a drama post (Lord willing)!!!

I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.
