Happy Birthday Arthur We celebrated Arthur’s 57th birthday this week by taking a ferry ride from the main island, Viti Levu, to Vanua Levu where our property is located. We were up very early to catch a bus to the ferry dock. The ferry left the dock at 8am and arrived at Nabouwalu at...
I can’t believe that we’ve been in Fiji over a week already. The weather has been wet, wet, and more wet but thankfully not too hot. We’ve enjoyed connecting with Arthur’s family in Suva. We’ve been staying with Arthur’s cousin Tomasi and his family. They have out done themselves with preparing great food every night....
After a 10 and a half hour flight from LA to Fiji, we landed at Nadi airport and looked out our window and were welcomed home to Fiji. We managed to wrestle all our bags into a taxi and were off to our favourite watering hole, Club Fiji. The view from our ocean front...
Tomorrow is our big day. We leave Vancouver at 4:00pm Monday Aug. 10th, flying to LA and after a 4 hour lay over we’ll be finally on our way to Fiji. Just one more sleep!!! We’ve had a wonderful visit in Vancouver with family and friends. The weather couldn’t have been better. Arthur watched...
Our visit to Kelowna with my brother Gordon and his family just flew by. We only stayed for the weekend but we had a great time filled with helping feed the chickens, building fences, playing with Maddie, a visit to Summerhill winery, a fantastic Mongolian hotpot meal, and great conversations about plans for Gord...
The moment finally came yesterday for Arthur and I to say our goodbyes to the Yukon. Our sea can is full to brimming and finally sealed. All our errands are done and final goodbyes made to friends and family. A glass of champagne all around to celebrate the day and we’re on our way to...
Many thanks to Ruth for hosting a farewell get together at Bear’s Paw Quilts. I will miss being a part of the Yukon quilting community. I plan to be back to visit my kids who are all currently remaining in the Yukon and I will be back in November for the birth of my...
I really didn’t think we would make the June 25th closing date with the amount of cleaning and last minute issues that needed to be dealt with but thanks to the tremendous effort from Siana, Marc, and Arthur we not only got everything to the sea can that’s going to Fiji but took 3...
165 boxes and other items and there’s still more to pack but the end is in sight. By Sunday evening the house will be empty. I can’t believe how difficult its been to go through everything tucked away in the far corners of the house and decide what we’ll take to Fiji, what needs to...
Today Ateca and Siana helped me sort through my canning cupboard. Although in recent years I haven’t been canning or preserving as much as I did, my canning cupboard is still impressive. We hauled out all the jars and spread them out over the rec room floor to sort into what gets to go to...
