The Grandsons Oct. 13-18

Oct 13-18 I was blessed to be able to care for our Grandsons while Kim & Yan were cruising in the Caribbean.


Mischief is on its way!

Tussling with Grandma

More fun

Nic & I baked cookies. He was really good at rolling out the dough.

Nic loves soccer and runs non-stop.

Nic wanted his picture taken beside the big tree in the woods.



They found a favorite play spot with big fallen logs.


Mr. Independence! (Lucas)
I had such a great time. The boys were so good & Kim & Yan said they had the best vacation ever so I guess it was win/win all around except for Murray who had to stay home, cook for himself and combine!

Visit to Gene's

Gene's 70th birthday July first took Mom & me to Winnipeg



Gene, Cam,me, Brad & Mom




While in Wpg I was able to reconnect with a childhood friend, Mary, who I went to school with from grades 1-6. That was too many years ago but we had a great time!

Harvest in full swing- finally!

Just yesterday Murray was combining peas in the field by our house. This year he finally gets to use his combine on our own crops. We are getting good harvest weather albeit a month late.

Our Fall Rye stand was phenomenal this year. Pictured here Murray, his dad & Kevin Letniak.

Murray's Fishing Trip

In late June Murray went on his first ever fishing trip up the north coast of B.C. to River's Inlet.
He brought home this 18 lb salmon!

Senechal summer Visit

I have much to catch up on with our summer happenings so here goes.




In August we were thrilled to have,Kim, Yan, Nic, Luc and Yan's parents visit us on the ranch.

I hope they had as wonderful time as we did. Getting to know Rachelle and Bertrand was such a delight.




We had lovely weather to enjoy the outside only the mosquitoes were a nusiance.

Yan & the boys

Luc is moving around now so he was able to explore around the house. How I remember our kids doing some of these same things!
Grandpa gave Nic some tractor driving lessons.
