Dad. my Inspiration!

I had to say a final Good-bye to my awesome Dad  near the end of November.  He was the one that inspired me to love the outdoors!  He was a good Dad... going to miss him.


I will do a writeup later today or in the next few days about him as I am typing this up insanely early in the morning, but here's the obituary that I wrote up for him.

Amazing Race Tryout

I haven't been as much on the site lately, though there are snowshoe articles in waiting.  There's been a VERY good reason why I've not been here.  I've been focusing on creating an audition video for the Amazing Race Canada!  Yes, it's coming to Canada and since I am the crazy adventure person, I had to try out for it along with my friend Peter, who I know from the hiking club.

On a publishing spree...

 

I'd swear that this year is the year of publishing for me.  A photo that I took just got published in the local paper, the Prince George Citizen.  I took the photo of Jo for her soon to be released book.  I was completely surprised about it being in the paper today!

December 2nd update- Another photo from the series of photos that I took of Jo Selkirk for her book, has been printed in the December 2, 2011 edition of the Prince George Free Press.  This is so cool!  I am glad that her daughter asked me to take photos of her for the book.  I will be going to Jo's book launch tomorrow at Books and Company.  You can view the Free Press newspaper that featured the photo by clicking this link:   http://www.pgfreepress.com/news/134914318.html

Baby Shower time

We

This past Saturday, I was invited to a co-worker's baby shower. It's been a while since I've been to a baby shower, so it was kind of neat going to one.  I was offered rides, but why would I need a ride?  I got my bike!

Bike all set up to carry vegetable platter.

I've been borrowing tour panniers from friend, so I was able to bungee the veggie dish on to the back rack.

It was nice to meet little Meadow, she is so cute!  Sometimes I miss not having children, so I admire others. The mothers all shared their birthing stories, and I can only imagine what it would be like.  Then there's the presents, lots of them!  I gave her a nice set of pjs.  I got another one to attend next weekend.

Beautiful Mother and child.

Time to unwrap the presents.
