The things you encounter at...

Costco...we met up with Goldie!
The kids that were dragged out shopping for the day were happy for two things at Costco that day...samples & Goldie!

These two ladies were happiest about shopping with & holding Miss Amara!

Eva's turn...

And Hannah's turn.

Gotta love Saturday mornings at the Market...

Fresh veggies...
Colourful veggies...

A cutie playing his violin...

Funk & junk...all mixed together...

And treats of course...

And fudge...

Great ideas, neat stuff & a lot of work...

And adorable shopping companions...

Steff & tiny Talen
Alexis taking the plunge...and gleefully counting on Thomas to catch her...

Morgan & Kris were the dedicated baby holders...

Aj & Levi

Glenn & Aidan...

Levi was warmin' up in the hot tub...

While Steff, Carmem & Trista were keeping an eye on Talen, 'Mara was keeping an eye on me!

And Levi was struggling to keep his eyes open!

Heading S out of the city in the middle of September and it's 30C out...we like this!
Something our city lacks...

Waaaay back in September...

Days on the lake...
Reflections of the perfect summer sky...which strangely came in September!

This is what I do while the others fish...I read, I entertain & I shoot pics!

Along the waters edge...early signs of f*a*l*l...

A Loon feather...

Very vibrant green moss...down on 'fellowship rock'...

A friendly frog...

More moss on the rock sofa...

Ewww - and notice the fleck of gold near his eye?!

The view of the lake & downstairs as seen from the screen porch...

Some of my favourite people...Suz, Eric, Jan, Alli & John

Heading back to the grind...this was my view!

So I got a little distracted @ one lake...
