I took the afternoon off today to compensate for some extra evening & weekend work I’ve got coming up. I got to pick up my son from school which was a treat. After school I took the older two kids to the Rutland Convenience Store (what used to be Louie’s Neighborhood Market for as long as I can remember). ...

As a long-time Kelowna boy, I remember the days when my parents would load my brother and I into the Country Squire wagon and make the road trip to Peachland (which I thought was really far away back then) where we would eat at the Chinese Laundry Restaurant. I remember this hot-spot was something of a cult-classic among the locals ...

If you live anywhere near the Kelowna BMX track at the Rutland sports complex, you would have known about the ABA Nationals BMX races there last weekend. There were lots of people and tons of action all weekend long.
I took the kids to watch on Sunday morning and we were amazed! This was a first-class event. Over 500 ...

We had the great fortune of borrowing my parents-in-law's truck and trailer which was a big treat. My father-in-law is a long haul trucker and made sure to give me the crash course in trailer towing ...

On Sunday night Melissa had a great inspiration to rent a movie and get Indian take-out. The movie was a bit of a drag - a romantic comedy called "Actually Maybe". In my opinion "Mmm, Well, Not-So-Much" would have been more appropriate. Anyway, it was nice to spend the evening relaxing on the couch with my girl.
We always ...

I've thought for a while that it was time to "walk my talk" and find a hairdresser (I've always thought that was a strange term - hairdresser) here in Rutland. I know there are a number of good shops here in Rutland but I find it such a stressful endeavor to find someone new to make me look beautiful:) so I've just been putting ...
