Another Bowen Web Site
Friday, June 25th, 2010Clean Up Day
Sunday, February 21st, 2010Although it is busier than ever just a few miles away in Vancouver, the pace on Bowen Island ebbs and flows with the coming and going of the ferry on a Sunday morning like any other Sunday morning. It’s been just about the warmest January and February since they started keeping track of those things around here and today is no exception.
Got the old brown van mostly cleaned up inside, a full large garbage bag of junk to dispose of, the floor swept (still needs to be washed), and the windows open and it is starting to air out. Checked in on the web and email server I set up for an islander in their home and all looks good for sending and receiving email (whew!). It’s a nice little project and glad to have a go with Drupal after not using it for a couple versions/years; they have really cleaned up the old admin interface and made more sense out of the menu option groupings and looking forward to doing more with it when the client has organized in their mind what they actually want to do with it.
Nice to hear from Janice commenting in the blog, haven’t seen much of her in the last year having been concentrating on the Treehouse and occupants therein. Which reminds me…pretty sure I had her blog on my list of RSS feeds but haven’t seen a post in a long time – incentive to talk in person, way nicer! A little golf this afternoon yet to come, and another perfect little Sunday on Bowen Island will draw to a close.
Christmas 2009
Sunday, December 27th, 2009A nice little green Christmas here on Bowen Island this year with Margaret in the Treehouse (see pics 1, 4, & 30 and 1, 2, 19 or here or here), a stark contrast to last year alone living in the van in the snow. Talked to all the brothers on the phone and parents too, everyone is doing well. Had pizza for dinner, then Boxing day I cooked a turkey with all the trimmings and had Norma D. over to help us eat it. Lots of left overs for later!
