There's a familiar theme around our house...........we used to have our whole bathroom done in this theme.........big girls at the beach. Now we see it in the funniest places.



We spent the weekend on Vancouver Island in Sidney at a beautiful resort on the water. It was a rocky ride over on the ferry, I've never seen dishes go flying quite like that before and we were more than happy to get to safe docking.




We spent a whole afternoon exploring Sidney. It's a beautiful little place and although it seems like a small town there was a large variety of places to eat, book stores selling new and used books, several gift stores, home accessories, flower shops, etc. Nice people everywhere we went.



We ate lunch at a little Swiss bistro and the people next to us were quite chatty when we sat down and looked at the menu. After we ate our lunch (yum) somehow we struck up a conversation with them and heard their life story. Very interesting. They had endured so much illness, cancer, heart attacks and on and on, broken back, and just at the time they were better their daughter had her bowel burst and they stayed to take care of their granddaughter. Amazing what people have to go through. But the over riding message the lady said over and over was 'I'm at peace with God, I'm not afraid to die.'

The greatest message of Easter is that Jesus rose from the dead. Because of that hope we can go on living without fear.

We are so blessed. We live in a beautiful province and are able to enjoy it in freedom.




Because He lives, we can face tomorrow. Happy Easter!
