Lots of visitors

Just thought I would let everyone know where we are and how we are.  We are doing good getting ready for the winter, getting firewood and cleaning up jobs that need to be finished before the snow falls.

In mid September Mom and Dad came up with their trailer and stayed with us for 5 days then headed up to their favorite campground at Lac La Hache.  We had a great visit and Uncle Pete was up at Greeny Lake too. Ed Dad and Uncle Pete went out hunting for grouse but came back with only one. That day the kids and I went to a worm farm harvest - dig for worms right up the kids alley. Tay even got her picture in the paper.

She had the Mad Hatters tea - came with Hot chocolate in a tea pot - too cute - she kept saying that lady is so nice, look what she gave me!

We also went up to Lac a Hache for dinner at Mom and Dads trailer the kids scoured the lake shore for shells and pretty rocks for ages while Mom and I walked and chatted behind them.

A week after Mom and Dad were here, Greg and Amy arrived with their son, Grant. Greg is Eds cousin they live up in Prince Rupert, Greg flys seaplanes in and out remote areas.  This is the first time in three years we have seen them. We had lots of laughs and fun. Grant rearranged most of my lower cupboards, it was hilarious to watch even our kids got into the act, stacking them up and arranging them in all different ways.  Greg and Ed did a little hunting on the property and Greg got a deer after being out for 10 minutes he was beaming! They headed out everyday looking for birds, deer or bear thank goodness all they got was a few birds after the deer, we have no more space in the freezer. Amy and I had a great time together chatting, making bread and cookies, and looking after kids. They stayed for 4 days and headed out for the rest of their trip throught the province but we have made plans for a spring visit to Rupert - looking forward to it!

The day Greg and Amy left Marg and Ted arrived. Unfortunately they didn't get to hook up for a visit but we tried! Marg and Ted stayed for a week and helped out with the odd jobs that we are trying to get done - we now have a good handle on them and they are well on the way to being finished. We were all invited for Thankgiving at a neighbours and we all had a great time - always a riot! Marg spent most of her time at the sink trying desparately to get all the dishes done - I believe Amy tried the same thing. Unfortunately I was always up to making more stuf and creating more dishes - I think Marg was looking forward to the break from dishes.

Today Brian and Kathy are arriving (Gregs Mom and Dad) we are not sure of their plans so we will see what is happening when they arrive.

So over and above our crazy life we have been so busy having fun with family and friends! Unfortunately through all of this, I took VERY few pictures - how silly of me!
