I thought I would start out this post with a picture of my handsome hunny, Mr Magpie. I liked it. He's rather cute. I am also rather fond of him most times, he's fun to be around, happens to be the father of my children and generally not a bad guy at all. Oh, the flattery I heap upon this man. How does he take it?

Now that the Sound of Music is in your head, we can get on to starting my posts about our wonderful trip to Christina Lake, British Columbia. We were gone all last week to the lake and stayed with friends of ours who happen to own a lovely campground out there. But before we get to all that, we'll start with the trip out. Starting with food, of course. Now let me set the record … [Read more...]
