Both taking pictures

Nikki and Jane

They stayed at Graham and Lyndsay's for a few weeks

Worked hard in the vineyard harvesting grapes and helped Graham pull in the nets

They were also a big help to me with the grand children

So many beautiful surroundings

The Scottish thistle

The moon coming over the mountain

It really was magnificent

However

My camera did not do it justice

This is our teapot from our first set of dishes

Way back in 1964

Jennifer had it at the shack when she lived there

It just stayed there!

We moved the cats down to the shack

Cooking facilities at the shack

First meal

Ham  potatoes  green beans and salad

Each morning I sit in my rocking chair

Joe sits in his reading chair

We have our coffee

and

Listen to CBC

This is the view!!

Garen came down to the shack one evening after dark

His Dad set him up with the head lamp!!

One in one out

One afternoon I took my camera to the apple orchard

Playing!!

You see me and I see you!!!!!!!

I can't help but giggle when I look at this photo
