The weekend

It was a good but quick weekend!! Sierrah came up on Friday with her friend Rosie for 2 nights! We had a marvelous time of hiking with the dogs, making homemade personal pizzas, AND baking chocolate chip cookies!!!! Today (Sunday) Sierrah asked me for a haircut!! It is only the second one I have given her as she usually gets her mom to do it. She has decided she wants layers in her hair now which her mom can't do. She loved it!!!! We dropped the kids off at home around 2:30 and went for a visit to Willie's house. It was a very nice visit with him. He seems to be doing very well and looks good! He had a couple of friends drop by for a glass of scotch at around 5 and we left at 6ish. All and all a fabulous weekend!!!!!

Jasmines Bday

It has been quite a weekend for me!!! I went off to Vancouver for my best friend Jasmines Bday! Did some shopping Friday, a run Saturday, and a Bday Party Sunday!!! I am back on the ferry heading home for some much needed rest!!!

The dress

So here it is!! I knew the second I put it on it was the ONE!!! Hope you like it!!

And the snow fell

It was a snowy day here in Shawnigan Lake!!! We worked up island today so we were able to avoid the Malahat. About 6 inches fell, with another 15-20cm forecasted tomorrow, and another 20cm the following day!!! Wahoo! I love the snow! Also we got our first snow plow job today. It was a small 45ft driveway. Plowed and salted....$40. Not too shabby! I believe alot more jobs will be in our future tomorrow and the next day! Anyways, we have 4 estimates out there and we wait anxiously for the phone to ring!!!!

Almost there

We left Golden at 7am this morning and holy cow the roads were horrible!!! There had been a 3 semi accident overnight and the semi trucks still sat on the side of the road. They were alternating one lane of traffic at a time. We sat for about 45 min stopped completely about 50 kms in. BUT we are now in Merritt. There was no snow in Salmon Arm and there is no snow and the sun is shining in Merritt. There is a road advisory from Merritt to Vancouver and they are not recommending driving. However, Iwe are continuing!!!! I miss my cats ad Yuki!!!!

Stuck in Golden

Sure enough, we are stuck in Golden. We paid $80 for a hotel. It's not a great hotel, but the great ones were $150+. So here we sit. The town is getting busier as we watch out the window. They say the roads will open at 5pm... We will get up early tomorrow morning and drive til dark!!! I just want to go home!!!

On our way home

It's 8am and we are almost in Golden. The roads are treacherous!!!! Tons of snow fell over night and apparently the highway is closed between Golden and Revelstoke due to avalanche warning. Hopefully it's not closed all day!! We were hoping to get to Kamloops tonight. However better safe than sorry!!!
