Nana Golfs. Rain or Shine!

 Thanks to cousin Darrell for these corkers-

New Hair Day

 


Happy Valentine's Day 2021

 

Christmas Nintendo Switch

 Continues to be the hit gift. Multigenerational gaming.

Gatorade and potato chips outside with one of his cohort besties. This is as wild as it gets for Covid birthday parties.
Watch out, Mac. Nana gets addicted...


Stormy Walk in Oak Bay

 
After the snow melted, we got some gusty weather indeed.



Snow Cave

 We built this beautiful cabin and then kicked the boys out, including Rocket. The three of them slept in their snow cave. They raved about how warm it was and came in later the next morning, happy chappies.



Complete with landscaping-


Snowy Heaven - Shoveling Hell!

 Well, the shoveling was certainly a good work out, and we managed to get the car out of the drive, having parked up high the night before the snow came. But we all had sore bodies for the days that followed.





MORE BIRTHDAY!

 It was a good one, people. A really good one!

Loving that Mac is doing his own shopping these days-
Savvy is a bit more frugal, but generous with her time and love-

Example 2 - here she is in bake mode. Then we had sour cream leftover, so she baked another double decker for us back at home!

Best cheesecakes EVER. From across the street. Where did number 8 go?!

Dob spoiled me. Plants, lifejacket, PJs, and this dreamy little gadget for muddier days-
Delicious-

Thank you family, near and wide, for all the lovely treats, walks, outdoor teas etc.
I am also busy opening a daily treat from the wonderful Team Z in our What the February /What the October box - a tradition that I hope we end, never.

Birthday Hikes - Avec Famille

 We managed three epic hikes in the powder. Bliss.






Birthday Hike - Solo

 I LOVE my family, but I also love a good solo hike. Nothing to get the adrenaline pumping when it's just you and the wild forest. And your baby dog who hides behind you when things get tense.

This was one day before the snow! Loamy loveliness.


Shark and Ty

 Some birthday Zoom calls are better than others.

The call was followed by a special online treat with a South African Shark scientist. So cool, Auntie Shark. We learned a lot. Sorry Glen dominated all the question time...

Ashley's Birthday Parka

 Thanks, Nana!

And thanks Uplands park and sunshine.
