Self-portrait and a Thankful Heart


We are only halfway into this month and I have so many highlights already. Strolling down old Fort Langly during the Cranberry Festival. This is our second year in a row and I am positive it won't be our last. There is so much to take in; the foods, the smells, the handmade items, the antiques, and of course the people. Bought 4 pounds of fresh cranberries and plan on baking with them. Spent thanksgiving weekend traveling to three different dinners and yes all of them included turkey and stuffing. I am truly blessed to have a great and loving family who loves to spend time together. I am blessed with friends who are welcomed into the family and feel like they belong. I am blessed with a boyfriend who enjoys good food, cooking good food, and good company. Kayaked in the pouring rain with my boyfriend and cousin from out of town. We had a really great adventure and when you are prepared and dressed for the weather anything can be fun. Tackled the 2.5 hour challenging high ropes course in Maple Ridge at WildPlay. I love these types of adventures. It was worth the Groupon purchase. Hiked the Baden Powell Trail in Deep Cove to the lookout were we were graced with natures beauty. Played Rumoli and laughed the entire game. Laughing like that is good for the soul and I thoroughly enjoyed the time together with my siblings and friends. October what else do you have in store? I can't wait!
