She's Back!!!!!
Well after losing my Blogger password almost a year ago I finally have it back. Did I already say I must be the lamest blogger ever? hahaha It has been a busy, busy year! Let's see.....Dylan came over Christmas for a few days and it was nice to have him home even if it's only for a short time. This momma will take whatever she can get! After that I started school in January and was trapped under a pile of home work until about 2 weeks ago. Now I am 2 weeks into my clinical placement and loving it!! It was a quiet winter but Doug and I did get out on a few hikes. Our grandson Keiran turned one year old on May 25th....wow!!! Time certainly does fly! He's so darn cute I wish I could see him everyday. This weekend Ashley is here to celebrate Travis's high school graduation.....Congrats Trav....pics to follow soon :) 3 down and only one more baby chick in the nest. So now we have summer vacation just about here already. This year I am very happy to announce that I will be going home for a 16 day visit with my family and friends. Soooooo excited because it has been 4 years since I have been home. Can't wait to see my parents new house and of course everyone and everything. I get homesick everyday even after 7 years of being away and in spite of the fact that I love the Okanagan so much I doubt I will ever move away by choice. Then again you never know. After Victoria has graduated and is out of the house maybe Doug and I will move to the East coast for awhile. We like to live like Gypsy's :)

Sarah's beautiful flower tatoos done by her very talented boyfriend John. These are Dylan and Victoria's birth month flowers and they are so beautiful! I love that they have that connection because they all live so far away from each other. Way to go John for doing such a fabulous job! I'm sure it is stunning in person and I am hoping to be able to experience that soon! Miss you sweetie :) xoxoxoxoxoxox
Hibiscus
One of my favorite flowers but never have any luck growing them! This time I have taken the time to read up on them. Well I found out that they have a dormant period in the winter and lose their leaves. Because they are dormant they don't need much water. Guess what I was doing to them? Oh yeah I was watering the heck out of them thinking they were dying! LOL DUH!!!! So maybe research before buying is a good thing! haha I'll keep you posted on how this one does!
Olden Days
This makes me feel nostalgic! I love to see these old tractors but makes me kinda sad too. Times are a changin'!
Love this spot!
So sad when a beautiful piece of property like this one succumbs to the modern world. This land will soon house a movie theater and some commercial stores! :(
Bike Ride
Here's me on the river channel on a bike ride one Sunday afternoon. I love Penticton! It's so beautiful here and I like nothing more than getting out and enjoying it!
