Quiet day, to enjoy while it lasts…

Posted on August 31, 2015 by Ann Schwartz • Leave a comment

After a relatively quiet weekend at the Pet Hostel, it has not taken too much to “dig out” and start my week. By that I mean … picking up and washing bedding, cleaning kennels and that kind of thing, in addition to the usual feeding and watering, walking (at times) and loving. We still have … Continue reading →

Fatigue …

Posted on August 27, 2015 by Ann Schwartz • Leave a comment

Today I really, really hit the tiredness wall. This is nothing serious, and I’m not even sure what has caused me to be more fatigued this afternoon than many other days. Yesterday, Gary politely suggested I put an ad on the McBride Facebook Buy & Sell page, to sell what was left of the garlic. … Continue reading →

Good morning …

I’m awake and chatting with you instead of sleeping, but I couldn’t sleep past 5:30. There’s no reason that I know of that I awoke early, but I felt that I had slept soundly and long enough. We’ve had an eventful week and a half! Starting from before the Robson Valley Music Festival and up … Continue reading →

Unless or until someone goes home tomorrow, we will have 29 beautiful boarders. Everything seems perfectly under control, at least until the neighbours’ dogs start barking again. Our bunch is not blameless, but during the last hour, barkers from elsewhere have been getting the guests going. I turned away a couple of dogs who would … Continue reading →

I drove into Prince George today, on another quest for specific building supplies. Specifically, I hoped to find some items on sale. When I fuelled my truck at our local Husky, the pump didn’t generate a receipt. Since I wanted coffee to go, it was not a problem to step into the Station to get … Continue reading →

Procrastination…

I always claim to be busy. Actually, I admit to being very good at relaxing, but more and more, as the years go by, I am less able to accomplish what needs to be done. Many days, I don’t even come close. A smallish thing that had been bothering me was literally a “detail” on … Continue reading →

I visited the new house this morning, and there was not a soul around. However, yesterday was a beehive of activity, and the ceiling got insulated (blown in with a rented machine and MANY bales of environmentally friendly, fire resistant cellulose material). The shower stall also got lined with a new product called Diamond Board. … Continue reading →

… or in fact, other produce. At this time of year, we feel so lucky to have a garden and the means to process and preserve  FOOD. Even so, it can get overwhelmimg. The days are gone that I participate in Farmer’s Markets. Jam-making on a large scale is a thing of the past, and … Continue reading →
