WHOOP WHOOP JULY IS HERE

Have been waiting for this 
month to arrive for the past year since we set a date to celebrate our 50th

Anniversary date is not until
August 29th 
but 
July 26th is a good fit for our children to be home

JUST A BUNCH OF STUFF GOING ON....

We have the clubhouse booked
(will keep it in case of rainy weather)
However
We are going to have the picnic/party at the cottage

Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!

Ah.....Tulip

Oh boy
We've had crazy weather

This is my Dad at age four
John Kenneth Fisher
Found photos when I was looking for Father's Day pictures


My Mother's Father
James Garen


My children's Father with his first grandchild

My Father with his Father
John Agar Fisher

Joe and David took a drive out to Rondeau Park



Peony bush finally bloomed



I planted these so I could cut 'some' to bring in the cottage
BUT
I don't want to cut any of them!!!



Tulip climbed the tree
Gwennie could not figure this one out????



Gwennie and Bing right there to check her out when she came scampering down the tree


Joe had to rescue this snake
Tulip has caught several snakes
She brings them home!



HA HA HA
Such a look!!!!!


I could hear this tug coming


The freighter overtaking  the tug and barge
Still lots of room in the river



First tall ship to pass by the cottage


These little guys are growing
Have stopped by the pond 
but
Not a lot going on
The pond's water is receding
The swans and family are at the far end of the pond
Herons are far and few between


Swallows



NEAT



See.......we are getting ready
Bunkie is used for storage during the winter
Am going to paint the floor 
RED



Joe is building another storage shed


It will hold 6 large bins
The airstream is small
The shack is small
We are still hanging on to things
Not ready to give them up!!!



Joe is patching the canoe
Ready for a paint job



I have been waiting for my daisies to bloom!

This photo was taken 13 years ago
The day before the Browning family left to take up residence in Arizona

The Browning family arrives from Queen Creek AZ on the 15th
Graham and family arrive from Penticton BC on the 22nd
Jennifer arrives from Squamish BC on the 24th

 The cottage will be bursting at the seams
The cottage will be filled with laughter, love and good times
