A quick weekend trip to Kamloops, BC. I didn’t have a class after all and finished my paper a week early. So we headed out to visit my parents. My mom prepared a ham dinner–so delicious with scalloped potatoes, sweet potatoes, brussel sprouts and a scrumptious strawberry cream square. We spent the night and I had a really great sleep. Much more restful than I’ve had in months. I dreamed I gave birth to Penelope in Disneyland though–weird. Pip got to sleep with her Granny and was ever so thrilled. My parents dog (Toby) hated Fernando though.
Peter and I headed out to one of the
most beautiful places on earth: Lac Du Bois Grasslands, just outside of Kamloops. The top photo is of three brilliant mountain blue birds.

Hiking on the wonderful hills always inspires me to live my life to its fullest. I love it out there.
This summer I have classes and Peter teaches a class, so we are going to spend our time doing weekend trips around. One trip will be a camping trip to pan for gold. We will pitch tents near a creek in the Boundary
country and start looking! The next trip will be a ghost tracking trip at night to the old abandon TB sanatorium near Kamloops. I’ll bring along a little posse as Peter never goes for these kinds of adventures. Mistaya has signed up and I am counting on KW to join the troops. We missed the Sasquatch trek last summer–though I am still planning a trip deep into the Northwest rainforests to attempt such an adventure–research for a junior fiction novel.
Enjoy the pictures of Lac Du Bois.

Next time you hike to Lac du Bois
I want to go with you. It does look beautiful!
Enjoyed your short visit and I’m glad you made it home safely.

What about me? I am especially up for a ghost adventure, you should know that. Where do you think KW got the gene? That area is certainly beautiful, Peter is a good jumper and it looked brisk
