Having a great summer so far!

I was really worried about a summer with no TV no internet and no civilization. Starting my 4th week of summer holidays we have gone to Fairmont. I love it here nothing but family and the lake. Julie and I spent a whole day baking in preparation for the week. We made home made granola bars and eatmore bars and bunwiches. It was a fantastic. The whole no internet and TV has not even been the worst thing in the world. I have been gardening and catching frogs and toads and going on hikes and tubing the river. We have seen Bears and Badgers and a million deer as well as Eagles and Hawks. Walking nightly has helped keep all the good home cooking from adding on the pounds. I don't even miss the TV. The internet i have missed but i can live without it 24-7. I highly recommend getting out this summer and embracing nature. I know not everyone can plant flowers in a yard that is surrounded by the mountains with yellow finches flying all around but we all can take some time to take in the world around us instead of looking at a computer screen.
