Sunday Summary #224
Hello from a wet, cooler valley in BC! No we still don’t have snow so I’m still busy with the Golf Club. I think we are setting a record for attendance, but considering we are the only golf course still open in this part of the Kootenays it’s not that surprising! My week was busierContinueContinue reading “Sunday Summary #224”
Sunday Summary #223
Hello and can I just say I’m so glad it’s November! Not that you’d know it from the weather here. That dusting of snow is gone off my mountain ridges and the golf course is busy!

Sunday Summary #216
It’s the time of year where my time is taken up by the golf course several days a week. Staff in the Pro Shop have gone back to school or need vacation time so I’m back to putting in 4-12 hours a day seven days a week as a volunteer. Luckily Board and Committee meetingsContinueContinue reading “Sunday Summary #216”

Another busy week of meetings and appointments but I’ve made progress on some of my list. 😁 Sept.1 would have been my father’s 99 birthday so I’m sharing a couple of photographs of him: My Dad and his 2 sisters just before he joined the RCAF in 1943. I think this was 1963 when weContinueContinue reading “Sunday Summary #215”

Sunday Summary #211
It was another fun filled week playing with fabric, hiding indoors from the heat and trying to not stress when the thunderstorms brought lightning strikes, wildfire starts and wonderful torrential rain! So far both the BC Wildfire crews and our local newly trained Volunteer Wildfire Emergency Response Team have kept things under control and putContinueContinue reading “Sunday Summary #211”
Sunday Summary #210
We had another week with warm temperatures during the day and unusually low temperatures at night. It wasn’t scorching hot so DH managed to play some golf a few days. I had a few things to do at both the Guild and the Golf Club, but I managed stitching time every day. It’s easy toContinueContinue reading “Sunday Summary #210”
