Grateful Eight

I have meant to get some pictures up all week, but we have had a few issues with electronics these past two weeks and are slowly working on fixing them. They say things happen in three's and that is exactly how it has been.

First our TV, then our desktop (yup it's gone, never coming back, dead!) and then our laptop was being attacked by all sorts of worms, viruses, etc. (I so want a MAC). I was frantically trying to back everything up. My 1000's of pictures, John's writings, and other Word documents. It was nuts. We did manage to fix things and I still have to finish my backup's, what a scare!

So I am sorry there are still no pictures posted of Zech and Jonas, no pictures for this week, but hopefully I will get some up soon!

THis week I am grateful for:

1. Saving our laptop and that I didn't lose the many pictures I didn't have a chance to back-up!

2. CHERRIES!! Need I say more!

3. Beautiful summer days. I really love the Okanagan Summers. It has been so nice and hot here and I am LOVING it!

4. Fresh potatoes straight from the garden. John's friends parents gave us some and they were so delicious!

5. Joe Fresh. They have some great sales on right now and some great baby clothes too!

6. A chance to explore and go mountain biking in just one of the many parks here!

7. A chance to play with Photoshop. I have so much to learn, but man does it ever fix some of my really bad photos! :o)

8. God, the Bible, Faith, Trust, Mercy!

Cherries - yum! You are lucky to live so close to the orchards now. Computer woes - they are such a pain. We got a MAC this winter and it's great. Having said that, I better go backup my photos anyway. Have a lovely summer week!

Oh man, I'm so glad you didn't lose any photos! Keep backing them up just in case!
We've been enjoying fresh fruit and veggies too! I love summer time!
And we've also been shopping at Joe - LOVE the sales they are having right now!

Hey V,

Your hair sure is long! Yeah, Vermont is a lot like Kelowna. I didn't realize you lived there now. I love it there! I used to live in Kelowna as well. Get up to Big White if you can, it rocks!

As for mountain biking in the area, it's sweet! Check out these places on google: Myra Canyon, Knox Mountain, Kettle Valley. And there's an awesome trail that follows a ridgeline for about 20 miles, then drops down to the water where you can camp. It's cool to hike in as well and may be easy enough for the whole family. I'll ask my friend, Chrissy, for more details. She's the one that taught me to mtn bike.

Peace out girl!
