Seasons Greatings!

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray the day may appear.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.
I wish you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good- bye.

Russian Easter Party at Tripp's - 2009

Нисходит в день Святого Воскресенья

Во Истину Воскрес!

It was a great day to celebrate Russian Orthodox Easter. Mindy and Michael as usual were a very good hosts and we all (kids and adults) had a good time. See for yourself: slideshow. (coming soon)

Live Bald Eagle Wildlife

Two bald eagles in Sidney, near Victoria (BC), are now the parents of triplets!

Karen Bills, the project co-ordinator with the Hancock Wildlife Foundation, says a third egg laid by the eagles hatched this morning (April 14 at 11:30). Two other eggs in the nest hatched last week. The camera above the nest has been there for the past four years.
