Out Everyone Out

Well after almost an hour of work this morning we were evacuated with 911 called because of a possible propane leak. The fire department came and shut off the propane; ventilated the building and almost 2 hrs later we were back inside working. We now have no propane on so no hot water at work but it could be worse. We could have had an explosion. Yes we were talking about if the tanks blew up how safe were we really standing outside at the big house about 100 meters from our building......?????

July 13 - Thrive Unite weekend

Okay so there ended up being ice bergs in the rivers around Gold River this week. Okay they were the crazy freezing people variety who thought jumping in the river was a good idea. (It was really :) )

It's is also Thrive Unite weekend. All the Northgate campuses are getting together in Gold River. At least the youth are. But leaders seem to be dropping like flies. With illness. Hope all goes well.

July 10

Well I guess summer is here. The other day at about 1230ish pm the temperature was 24 degrees which feels nice and hot. A few of are even thinking about going and jumping into rivers or a lake even if they still fill like ice burgs should be floating in them. Our theory it will feel soooooooo good and help us cool off and sleep at night.

July 3 2012

Well the long weekend has come and gone. The ball tournament is over and I didn't get burnt. Okay that could be because it was over cast all weekend and raining yesterday. Now its July 3 and it is still pouring rain. We have all brought out the winter jackets again that's if they were ever put away in the first place.

I thought summer was to be warm-hot with sunshine.. Where is all this cold damp weather coming from. May long weekend was so nice we are hoping that that was not our only snippet of summer.

June 1 2012

Well I'm up for another busy weekend. (not really I'm Exhausted) After work tonight I have time for a quick dinner then off to grad there are two teens from the church graduating. Then home for some laundry then a quick nap then up to be ready to go at 3 am to man check point 2 for the Great Walk. The Great Walk is a 61 ish KM walk from Gold River to Tahsis. I think it also counts as an ultra marathon as some poor fools run it. It should hopefully be good. The road to Tahsis will be closed 4 am - 8 pm I don't think we need to be at check point 2 the whole time I think once the last walker is past us we can leave so who knows what time we will be done and able to have another nap.

Also there is a wedding at the Big House here at Tsaxana and everyone is invited. I may come out to it depending on what time it starts and what time we finish with the Great Walk and how exhausted I really end up being.

Gold River Days

Well last weekend was Gold River Days with a western theme. It was a great weekend for the event. It was sunny and hot and most of the town seemed to come out to it. Friday night started with "Gold Rivers Got Talent". A lot of singing and dancing took place. There was a 5 km fun run although I'm not sure if fun and run should be in the same sentence. Saturday started with a free pancake breakfast at 8 am, parade at 11 then the party in the park for the rest of the day. Free BBQ, bounce-a-ramas, dunk tank and soooooo much more. There were more than a few burns that day but all in all I think everyone had fun and it exhausted the kids so parents would be happy.

May

So its spring now and by afternoon it does seem like spring.  But first thing in the morning especially after nights of rain there is fresh snow on the mountain tops.  Yes you read that right I did type in SNOW.
