terrace

This is me shooting a potato gun. It was so great!!! That's Dave watching with great awe how far the potato would go. Last weekend I went to Terrace with Dave and Karla and had one of the best weekends I've had in a long time. On Saturday we drove for 15 hours including stops and made it to Terrace by 915pm. In 100 mile house I bought a Crossword scratch and win and won $3 which got me a second one for free. We decided to see how long I could play off the original card. Well, it turns out I played a total of 5 cards before I lost losing the original $3 after all!!! It was fun though.














The second picture is Dave's Dad holding a cedar plank fitted with freshly caught salmon and halibut. It was then cooked over an open fire. AMAZING!!! When the meal was completed with sour cherry pie made by Dave's mom I can't even tell you how great.















On Monday Karla, Scott and I went hiking with Karla's crazy dutch dad. Suffice it to say that Karla and I were wearing shorts, tank tops and hoodies, carrying our bathing suits in our backpacks thinking, "let's swim when we get to the top!" DUMB! It was really cold and we hiked into the clouds. Wind blowing like you wouldn't believe. At the top, all we could think about was getting to the bottom and having coffee which turned out to be fab. The picture above is one of the spectacular views we had when we weren't in the clouds. The lake is where David and Karla got married.

The final picture is the clouds from the plane on the way home. Flying in a 30 seater plane is fun. I am so thankful for the weekend I had. It was fun and refreshing. I also had encouraging conversations with different people who said so many things that touched my soul and they don't even know how much it meant. Thank you Jesus for your creation, the beauty and your people whom you use without them even knowing it.
