as the year comes to a close...

I reflect back on what I have and what I have left behind. The last few years have been one of enormous change, sadness, tears, laughter and intense happiness. It has been a long road and I think of the intertwining paths that have come across mine. They say people are in your life for a reason, a season and a few trusted few stay for a lifetime. I have recently made some very close friends who I hope will stay for a lifetime, and I have also recently had to cut some people out of my life. I remember being in high school and having well over a hundred phone numbers and addresses of friends and yet here as I creep closer to the middle of my life I can count quite quickly the number of people that I call a close friend. It should seem then that I would be less happy, having lost friends. Does this mean I am not popular? On the other hand i think of the quality of the friends that I have now. I am in fact considerably more happy now than I was then. There are lots of people on...

Where is Bun???

Okay so the baby has not come yet and we are all anxious....my sister called me a stalker yesterday because i called her twice! Chris says we need to put a note on a muffin that says "if you come out there is more where that came from" Martin said some blargh flark flip numbers numbers wierd geeky thing which i am sure someone smarter than me got and laughed loudly over. (love you martin!!) Tanya tried to hold cookies in front of of her mouth to entice the baby....but well then she ate them. My office says its AL GREEN TIME (read...lets get it on!) and also one suggestion of eating some eggplant parmigean. Apparently its foolproof? Can't wait to meet the little girl or guy and see how Warren interacts with the baby! Hurry up bun we are all anxious to meet you! love Aunty Tara

Camp Olave Update

Hey Guys, Some people have been asking what you could continue to do to help save Camp Olave. Here is the latest information that i have recieved. 1 November 2009 RE: TAXATION OF CAMP OLAVE Dear Guiders and Friends of Guiding, We lost the first round with the passing of the bylaw on Friday. It was not surprising asall 45 applicants requesting tax exemption were included in the same bylaw. If the District ofSechelt Council had defeated the bylaw no one would have received their exemptions for 2010. The bylaw reads that Camp Olave is to be taxed in 2010 on the upper half of the camp property, which based on the last assessment, would have us pay an annual tax of at least $133,000. Clearly we cannot afford that. The Camp Olave Management Committee’s next step is to obtain a new tax assessmentof our property. The assessment team has recently been to camp. The official assessment will be mailed in January. Please note we can appeal the tax assessment, but not the bylaw exemption. We will no...

Life as I know it...update!

Hello everyone! life has been interesting. I have really over booked myself lately, with work, two writing intensive classes, brownies, choir, the olympics and being a wife! I think some things have to go....dont worry its not Chris! he's a keeper! Next semester anyway I am going to take off school to focus on work, choir and the Olympics. I have got two new leaders at brownies so that will help as well. Tanya and Andre are at baby day....we are now just waiting for Bun to make her (or his) arrival. I am really excited to meet my new nephew or niece and can't wait to see what warren thinks of her. I survived bronchitis and now have something called Costrocondritis? i think i spelled that wrong. Anyway its inflamed cartilage connecting my ribs to my breastbone. Im not supposed to wear an underwire bra and I have to put up with the constant pain. awesome! the pain is compared to a heart attack or the inability to take in a deep breath. I can't breath deep, ...

URGENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dear Internet....CAMP OLAVE NEEDS HELP!!!

How can you help us??? it will only take a few minutes out of your day....please read this letter i received today and write a letter to them demanding they continue to allow us to have tax free excemption on the property. If this goes through we will lose the camp we have used since the 20's or earlier!!!! There is no way we can sell all those extra cookies and think of all the girls who will miss out! This is the only camp in the province where they will be forcing a non profit agency to pay tax on the land. Please send off a letter ASAP...before the vote on friday if you can!!! 3 October 2009 Dear Guiders and Friends of Guiding, As some of you have heard we were blindsided by the District of Sechelt Council when we discovered through a friend of Guiding that we were losing a huge part of our tax exemption. Twelve years ago the municipal boundaries were changed and Camp Olave became part of the District of Sechelt - prior to that we were in the Sunshine Coast ...
