Girls Day at Crystal Mountain

We spent the last friday on the slopes with the Smith Girls.  It was a beautiful day!  We're looking forward to more!  Thanks JB for taking the time!

The Pintail

Teddy built The Pintail.  Sometimes during the building process he'd coax someone into the shop to work with him.  Here's a few photos.  Thanks for the fun times in the shop Teddy.

Teddy's "perfect" beach

A  friend asked me today about the photo behind our blog title.  

"Where did you get those pebbles?"

Answer:  Those pebbles are from a special place.  A  place on the West Side of Vancouver Island that we've visited a few times and think of often.  The 'perfect' beach according to Teddy and a few others.  Teddy will go on and on talking about the virtues of the perfect beach!  Most normal people when asked to describe their perfect beach will usually describe the color of the sand, often white, and then go on to describe other details, i.e. palm trees, tropical breezes, pounding surf or soft lapping waves, warm azure water....  Not Teddy.  The first thing he'll describe is the size of the pebble.  "About the size of the tip of your little finger."  as he's holding up his hand looking down on the tip of his own pinkie.  "Sand's too messy.  Sand gets into everything."  You start to wonder if he even likes beaches.  He LOVES beaches.  Especially beaches like the one on Catala Island where I  captured the image of the pebbles that's behind the title of our blog.  It's Teddy's perfect beach.

Happy Birthday Kaj

Champagne at last!

Our first post, and our first toast.  

I am not sure which was more difficult.  Heading for bed now.  More pictures later.
