After purchasing the coffee shop almost 3 years ago, we decided to sell it. We had a great time running it with all us of working there. Samantha would come home from University in Kamloops when she on holidays.

Teresa worked there full time after she graduated from High School in 2009. She did a great job and took on a lot of responsibility in the running of the shop!

Teresa has since moved to Kamloops and is living with Samantha. Pam is now working at Tim Horton’s and is enjoying not having to worry about employees!

Time flies! We are just into 2011 and Winter has set in with a lot of snow, some cold temperatures, some warm temperatures and some howling winds.

It is nice to see more snow than we got last year.

Samantha came home for Christmas and we invited Nick and Nick’s Dad, Bernie to spend Christmas with us. It was an interesting Christmas and very enjoyable visiting with everyone. They left just after Boxing Day to go skiing in Revelstoke. Bernie lives in Revelstoke and really enjoys the skiing Revelstoke has to offer.

Teresa and I have done a short sled trip around the lake after we volunteered at the Green Lake Snowmobile Club clubhouse for a Poker Ride. It’s a fund raiser for the BC Lions Society for Children with Disabilities.

Pam has enjoyed her time away from the coffee shop! For anyone who is not aware, we have decided to shut the cafe down. Pam is starting a new job at the newly reconstructed 70 Mile store. She is looking forward to being an employee again!

Teresa is moving to Kamloops at the end of January and she is actively looking for work there and in September she will be starting her studies at TRU (Thompson Rivers University). She will be living with a girlfriend, Shelby, that she went to school with in 100 Mile. She is looking forward to getting out on her own!

Samantha is busy with her studies at TRU.  Her and her roommates and Nick keep busy with extracurricular activities as well. Ballroom dancing and swimming are some of the more popular activities.

It’s a beautiful day in the Cariboo today! For the beginning of November it’s extremely mild. The talk from the old timers and noticing the wildlife’s coats, it’s supposed to be a harsh winter. It’s up for debate as too when it’s going to start. I’ve got a trail to Hidden Lagoon and around the peninnsula where I take the dogs for a walk. It takes me about 45 minutes, and it gives the dogs a great run. They have so much fun and are tuckered out by the time we get back home!

Today the ice came off

the lake. Yesterday there was a young bald eagle sitting on the ice fishing. There have been lots of different birds out yesterday.

The weather is gorgeous and not a cloud in the sky (well almost!). I’m still trying to get caught up on my paperwork, so I’ll be spending some time inside. The dogs are soaking up the sun and generally enjoying being outside with no snow!

It’ll soon be lunch time and then a quick walk with the dogs in the bush.

The walk is like an agility course where they jump up and over logs and underneath bushes. It’s great exercise for them and me!

Hello, and welcome to our newly redesigned website. I’ve been fascinated with website design for quite a few years.
