Things have been a little quiet around the office this August. But that’s okay. It gives us time to catch up on the year. You should see the office now. We’re going through all of our files for the year to make sure that eveything is in order. We’ve been updating our client database, organizing and closing files for the year. Doing these little chores now puts us in a good position come Sept ...
Last week, we managed to zip off to Harrison Hot Springs for a mini vacation with the kids. Our oldest has a friend from Swift Current staying with us so there were six of us in total. We don’t mind. The more the merrier is what we always say. We enjoy Harrison because we get to do things on the lake with the kids. They love boating, tubing, water skiing, and anything else water-related. The ...
This weather has been amazing. Last weekend members of my family took advantage of the weather and went camping at Beaver Lake Resort. We stayed home and took advantage of activities around time. From what I’ve heard and judging by the pictures I’ve seen, they had a fantastic time. They stayed in a cabin on the lake. They fished, hiked, barbequed, had bonfires and relaxed.

Wow, last weekend’s weather was certainly long overdue! We celebrated our first full weekend of sun by having a family beach barbeque at Spanish Banks. My sister Jenn planned the barbeque and it was a hit. Imagine a hot, sunny afternoon at the beach with four dogs, three kids, a whole slew of adults and a cooler full of goodies. We had a feast. Jenn made tadoori chicken (which turned out fan ...
Well, school is officially out and the kids are off for summer holidays. We’ve had a pretty full house the last couple of days since the kids wanted to spend as much time with their friends before everyone took off for the summer. Some might say I’m crazy, but I actually enjoy a bustling house. I think it’s partly because I grew up in a house filled with kids (there are six kids in total in ...
