Lesson One: "How to be Tourists in your Own Town"
First --- make sure that your hometown has a big lake, and is gorgeous and relaxing with a lovely climate.
So, last weekend, thanks to t-gold's ol' Famdamnly Bizness, we did a little boating around our local Okanagan Lake.
Lesson Two: Retain Friends in High Places
We happened to sail past a few new homes on the lake.... (did I miss a sweet stock investment or something....?) I'm pretty sure that every single NHL player with a new contract over $5 mil has bought and constructed a home on Okanagan Lake.
It certainly makes for a lotta examples of structures that we'd like to add to our house (next time we sign a longterm NHL contract, that is...)
We extended our holiday-around-home into the last few days & headed up to a quiet provincial park right on Okanagan Lake.
There, we parked Shaggy & then hiked the hills & lakeside trails and just generally hung out, eating cheese & chocolate and enjoying the late autumn sunshine
Then it was back to ol' Allison place for some last minute, Sunday gardening in preparation for the week ahead....
Next weekend is the 1 millionth Okanagan Fall Wine Festival! (well... maybe it's only the 23rd festival or something, but it'll feel like the one millionth when WE'RE through!)!
