Cats and treatys

Grand kids' cat, Felix, was just a kitten when we left, but here he is, all grown up and even more gorgeous than before. We tried introducing him to Chiik but he just growled and hissed, so he is too big to still play like a kitten.



He went out to commune with a deer fawn instead, and they are obviously friends.




Sitges, Chiik and Dax continue to get to know each other - here, they are each having a snort of cat nip, which mellowed them all out and was very funny to watch.



Chiik and I are now back in Sooke at the cottage and went to a hearing for our local First Nations band explaining how the treaty process is going. It was very interesting, but patience is the word of the hour. At least 3 - 5 years before it will be signed, and it has already been 16 years....sigh!

A 360 Party!

These 3 lovely women - Mary Lois, Lee and Elaine - all turned 60 this year, so what better way to celebrate than invite all your mutual friends and have a party!









The cake is a great story. It was made by a 12 year old girl who is part of a fundraising group who make a cake for the cost of the ingredients and then make a donation to the charity of the person getting the cake.

Wonderful program - and it was a wonderful cake, too!!!!!




It was great to see old friends and share the celebration.








Lots of laughter, lots of fun, and in 2 weeks we go to a 5 person 65th joint celebration. Party on - now if it would only warm up!!!!!
