This past Sunday it was spectacular and as we (and our cottage neighbours) watched the sun sink inot the lake we all applauded...showing our appreciation for the wonderful gift. 6:48 PM Linda said...I would have to say, family time when we are all sitting together watching a good movie. the second would be a cup of coffee and some needed scrapbooking time.....Linda Velez 2:51 PM
Please email me your addies and I will get the goodies in the mail ASAP. Yesterday our whole family went with Jaku when he did a clinic up North at Deschambault Lake and during the lunch hour we all went fishing and look what Kirstin caught!!! She just couldn't stop smiling. Not a bad result for 20 minutes of fishing. We didn't quite reckon with the force of Jana and we did make a mental note to bring a grown-up just for her when we go fishing again. I don't have to say more than she kept her dad very busy ; )
Speaking of Jana, it's her birthday tomorrow. She wanted a swimming party and seeing that we have no swimming pool here, we are considering going to the beach for a while with 8 yes, 8!! little girls. But I am sure they will be fine.
Have a wonderful week. I am reading the 4 gospels this weekend... anyone want to join me?
Love and a kiss

Greetings Wilna~
I just wanted to say Hi to you and let you know that I think it's very inspiring to see that you aren't afraid to show your love of the Lord in your blog. Blessings to you and your family.

Hi Wilna!
The bear is adorable! Lucky you! Your daughter is so cute...looks a lot like her mommy, doesn't she?
I'm not much of a fisherman... here's a "sad but true" story:
My dad took me fishing when I was 7 or 8...(I LOVED spending time with my dad, but I HATED getting up at 5 a.m. to go fishing!) However, I was a bit of a "girly girl" and didn't like to get my hands dirty...AND there was NO WAY I was going to handle those worms! Anyway, dad baited the hook for me, dodged several wild casts (that nearly took his hat off) and settled in to leisurely pass the time. My bobber suddenly went under water (we were fishing for bluegill) and I was freaking out...screaming, "Daddy! Daddy! Come help! Come help! (Like it was a WHALE on the other end of my pole!) Dad helped me reel it in, and then told me to take it off the hook. Well, this would involve touching the fish, right? NO WAY! He absolutely refused to take it off the hook FOR me, so I flopped the fish down on the shore and stepped on it while tugging on the fishing line. I jerked and tugged and finally the hook came free...with the fishy insides along with it. I was MORTIFIED! I had caught and gutted the fish all in one fell swoop. My dad was laughing so hard he nearly fell off the bank into the lake. I was white as a ghost and shaking...and telling him, "I am NOT eating THAT!"
That was the last fishing trip I remember ever going on with my dad...wonder why?
Thanks for the trip down memory lane...
Blessings to you and the fam,

Oh! Happy birthday to your daughter! Say, I love that you are collecting bears...My MIL does, too! She didn't have one as a child and has made up for it as an adult (she has over 500 in her collection and is always donating to children's groups/charities). There are some adorable little bears out there...like yours (those mittens ARE cute!).
The bear is cute but that Fishing Photo is the BEST!!!! That smile is priceless. And the RAK card is sooooo cute. How sweet that you are making the kits - Wilna that is such a great idea. I'm thinking that would be fun for me to put together a couple of kits of my own. I've got some special folks in my life that are going through hard times - one just found out she has breast cancer and the other is my cousin who just found out she has to have surgery as they've found a "mass" ths size of a basketball in her stomach (could be cancer!) They would have fun getting kits and making little cards as they rest in chairs and beds after surgeries. Oh Wilna - you always inspire me. Blessings upon you and your family and especially your birthday gilr.
That card is so cute!
Very fun!
The Kirstin looks soooooooo happy!
How cute, I'll see if I can pick one up for you I'm trying to land a job with starbucks............ I can't believe that I won one of your fabulous RAKS you are awesome (not just saying it because I won but because is true)....... I love reading your bog, and I stop by everyday....... Happy Birthday to Jana from my family and good luck tomorrow with all those girls. Thank you again
