“You know what!”
February 19th, 2010 · 4 Comments · Humour, Tracy's Posts
Our family has quite a few ’sayings’ that make me laugh each time I hear them. My son has his favorite when someone is questioning him. It got the title of my post because it’s said the most by all of us. “You know what!” You have to have a look of displeasure on your [...]

Let’s Be Honest…
January 27th, 2010 · 9 Comments · Tossed Salad, Tracy's Posts
We all like to think we have honesty with our partner, friends, family and co workers, but do we? Are we being honest with ourselves?
You have to wonder don’t you. A vow is taken at a wedding, but still the divorce rate is approaching 80%. Spouses are trusted, yet affairs are almost common behaviour. Friends who [...]

In One Word…
January 15th, 2010 · 9 Comments · Inspiring, Tracy's Posts
If you could describe each family members in one word what would it be? I decided to play this word game while on a short road trip with my family to see what we would come up. I asked each person to choose one word to describe the others. Instantly without even a pause my [...]

January 13th, 2010 · 5 Comments · Inspiring, Tributes
I attended the funeral service for my second cousin Casey Douglas Adkins on Monday and was moved for many different reasons. I reconnected with my extended family on my mother’s side after years of not keeping in touch.
When I first saw my cousin Dee, Casey’s mom, her voice sent me back to my childhood, it [...]

The big day is over. Phew! All the rushing around, Christmas baking, shopping (unless you are boxing day shopping today) and gift wrapping is now behind us for another year. Yesterday was a day of abundance for most of us; abundant food, drink, family, friends and gifts. Gifts in every shape and size and monetary [...]

Daddy’s Little Girl~
November 27th, 2009 · 9 Comments · Tossed Salad, Tracy's Posts, Tributes
It seems that lately a lot of my male friends are either about to become a “Daddy” or just recently became one. I melt each and every time they tell me how enormous their heart grew upon arrival of their “little girl”. There is forever something special about the bond between a dad and his [...]

Bonnie’s Happy Place~ Of course everything that happened in my life has influenced who I am today, but the one that sticks out the most for me is the summer I spent with my grandparents when I was seven. They lived on some acreage about an hour outside of Penticton, BC. There was no [...]

A Gathering of Family
July 28th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Bonnie's Posts
I’m just back from spending the last 4 days camping with the Johnson clan. The reunion began last Friday when Johnson’s from all over the map arrived at a beautiful camp site on Green Lake (just outside of 100 Mile House, BC). Green Lake was chosen because it is fairly close to where [...]
Obligations and Expectations.
April 29th, 2009 · 5 Comments · Tips, Tracy's Posts
Obligations and expectations are something everyone accumulates over time. They can sneak up on you if you’re not careful. They start to layer themselves on us until we start to feel like our lives are being directed by everyone but us. Family obligations are one thing, such as celebrations and doing things for other family [...]
