As we finally enter the lazy, crazy days of summer and try to find time to enjoy the sun and summer activities it sometimes seems that life becomes even busier. Yesterday I raced around with work commitments, a council meeting and finding time to enjoy one of my favourite summertime activities, the Harrison Arts Festival. Last evening we attended poetry and prose readings at the Harrison Corner Cafe. Very impactful readings in a very suitable venue. And a very quiet contrast to the LOUD but enjoyable dance music of two of the three previous nights concerts. A great festival.

But even though the readings were quiet and reflective, after a day of racing around trying to make my schedule work to attend the readings, my mind was still racing, even though my body was relatively still.

A brief walk after the readings brought me to this view. My favorite view in Harrison is looking up the lake at a sunset while standing in front of the resort. Looking at the sunset over the mountain that usually still has snow on it reminds me of my own (insignificant) place in the universe and puts daily concerns into perspective. It is calming. Last evening looking up Harrison Lake over the lit fountain and up the Lake gave me the same sense of perspective and calm.

The buzz of the day was gone.

That’s one of the reasons I love Harrison

Happy Canada Day

I thank God that I live in Canada, for todays beautiful summer weather, and to have the privilege to spend Canada Day with thousands of others in beautiful Harrison Hot Springs.
The RCMP, our MLA Kelli Padden and chief Ralph Leon of our Sts’ailes partners joined mayor Leo Facio for opening ceremonies. Today included a pet parade, kids games and great music. And a parade including me and our Mustang convertible decked out in flags. Todd Richard, Rockwell, what a great day of music. Music will be followed by fireworks over the Lake.
I don’t usually post photos of myself but here I am. For those of you cynically thinking that the photo probably arises from my arrest I can suggest that the following charges may be pending:
  • Count 1. Having the whitest legs in Harrison
  • Count 2. Dancing (badly) in the plaza to the great music of Rockwell (Pam was my coconspirator).
  • Count 3. Driving the Mustang convertible in the parade with no hands. (I discovered that I’m coordinated enough to wave to the parade crowd with both hands!)
I am hoping for bail.
A great day to be alive. A great day to reflect on the lessons of our country’s past and look forward to our future. Have a great Canada Day!
