A blog full of memories
This is the first time the Canadian Winter Games have been held in the true north (north of the 60th parallel). Whitehorse is buzzing (and not from the traditional Yukon Sourdough Rendezvous celebrations either). It’s going to be a busy few weeks for my parents. My Dad is working security at the Canada Games Center …
We had a break through moment in our English lessons today. I have been teaching English and computers to my friend and colleague at Bush-Field. A few weeks ago, we decided to axe the computer lessons and workout after work instead. He still gets English, I get a workout. Pretty good exchange I think. Today, …
But I found it again. No worries. Or not too many at least. I went to pick up wine from the warehouse, then I ran a few errands. I apparently left my phone at the checkout at the grocery store. When I finally figured out where I’d left it, I went back to the grocery …
I’m not much of a believer in Hallmark occasions–like today–Valentine’s Day. I am one of those people who is likely to forget the actual day on the day–but I do remember it–eventually.

Somebody pointed out to me the other day that I have an awful lot of stories about my butt: “You should give it its own category on your blog.” So I did. Here it is: All About My Butt. As you may have read, my butt has saved my life–you can’t help but love something …
Bush-Field is finally on the map! Well–I would like to think so anyway. Our 2005 Bush-Field Estate Pinot Noir received an award at the San Francisco Chronicle wine competition as well as an Outstanding! review from the Pinot Report. I think it’s been quite an experience for Alan and he is happy we are getting …
“You know Rach, I don’t think you should go to school this year.”–Not exactly words you would expect from your father. But, as Rachel Ferguson and her dad were wondering around campus the day before school started, that’s exactly what he said. And–that’s exactly what she did. She took the year off to work on …
When I first started this blog, I didn’t know what it was going to be. It was a gift from my friend Waitman who saw that I needed a place to express myself and to find my voice. I have been trying to contact Waitman recently to let him know how much I appreciate his …
