British Columbia Road Trips
Even though we ended up at some wonderful destinations during our trip to British Columbia, there were a lot of hours spent on the road. Every morning we left our home base in Salmon Arm, and headed to this place or that. Along the way the scenery was incredible and the fellowship with family was priceless. Here are a few pictures that I captured along the way. Enjoy. You can click on the pictures Continue Reading...
Giant Cedars Boardwalk
Natural Bridge (Yoho NP)
I guess I don't have a bucket list really, but if I did, seeing Yoho National Park would be on it. I was fortunate enough to visit the park for a portion of one day. I loved it. I would certainly enjoy spending a week (at least) just exploring the park and as many of its features that I could take in. Natural Bridge was just another place (of many) that are simply just off of the main road running Continue Reading...
2018 Quality Raised Garden Beds
So, an innocent conversation with friends last year, about the possibility of having raised garden beds and whether or not they could place one on the side of a hill, turned into a woodworking project that has continued this year. It all started with manufacturing the sides and ends by cutting and combining boards to get walls that were 12" deep. Then some pilot holes, support for the corners, and Continue Reading...
Goffstown Hockey 2017-2018: Sign of the Times
It was three weeks ago now, and in my mind, it went something a little bit like this. As the maestro held his baton high, coercing the grand finale in all of its glory, the final note played. Somewhere between stunned and proud, the maestro bowed his head and turned to face the masses and the feedback they levied on this collective piece of work. And those who witnessed it, they rose in unison to Continue Reading...
Black Brook After The Storm
Tournament Hockey: (#4) Goffstown 4 vs. (#5) Dover 8
Goffstown dug themselves a huge hole, falling behind 5-0 in the second period, while Dover was dictating play by simply executing better than the Grizzlies. Goffstown reached down, found some collective fire within, and came storming back. With less than 10 minutes to play in the game, the game had turned into an intense, nail-biting, one-goal, tournament game with the Grizzlies trailing Dover, Continue Reading...
Hockey: Goffstown 2 at Windham 5
Goffstown ended their spectacular regular season in Salem against a very strong Windham Jaguars team on Saturday night. Despite dropping their final two contests, the Grizzlies did win 14 games in the regular season for the first time in their program's history. Windham jumped out to a 4-0 lead and the hole was too deep for the Grizzlies to climb out of and overcome, but that's not the whole Continue Reading...
Team Sprint: A Call For The Ages
I have been watching the Olympics since I can remember. The first games I vaguely remember were the 1972 games. There have been more memorable moments than I could probably list. Then... ...Yesterday morning, I was watching Olympic Coverage on NBC when this unfolded. I literally had a lump in my throat and tears running down my face. I got caught up in the emotion of a commentator who has felt Continue Reading...
