She got the best shot though. These mushrooms stopped her in her tracks while Zoe was distracting me with a bathroom break, hahahah.

The view from our pre-season seats
Our normal seats are one section to the right from this. Nice view and cool CBJ colors for the whole arena. :)
It pays to wait…
When we started going to the pro hockey games last year, we realized their SWAG prices were outragous. Hoodies were $150 for example… Well, we waited until their clearance sale this year and we Julie found that they had authentic game jerseys on sale complete with player names and numbers! These are normally $300 or so (see the stickers on the right). But they were on sale for $60. Even better, a snafu and trip back to the register meant the cashier felt sorry for us and gave us a two for one deal. So we got exactly the jerseys we wudda wanted from last years season, at $30 each for two of them! I’m glad Julie’s eagle eye and bargain prowess were sharp this week!

A gift in progress
It was fun to find this among Julie’s dad’s things. Andy’s grampy made him a chess table and set years ago. The pieces were made from standard nut and bolt hardware. Here’s a glimpse of the process it took to gather the pieces and get them assembled. I made sure to keep these notes with the set.
“Your cat’s all flat and junk”
Pepper loves to flop on this box. Sometimes about half of her falls in. 🤪
Before she sat on my leg…
…she tried to cast a spell on me. Haha, I was playing around with the new iOS 27 image generator.
A rare kitty moment for me…
Itty Bitty decided to grace me with her presence. She must have been hungry, but I’ll take it however I can get it 🐈⬛
The most photographed kids…?!
My father in-law always said my two were gonna be the most photographed kids in the world…. He might have been right…? My phone says there are 3,100 of Andy and 3,300 of Johnny… hahahaha. Funny that I got that notice from OneDrive while having a pic of the came kid on my lock screen. :)

The end of an era…
Isaac had taken a board and some paracord and fashioned a swing many years ago at my mom’s house. Eventually it wore out, one of the strings broke, and the kids grew up. We decided it was time to take the other half down. I tried putting all my weight on it…but it still held! I ended up having to get a ladder and cut it.
Fun memories from the good ole days❤️
12 horses and 2 minis on display
It was fun to see the horses and riders showing off their skills and still integrating the gospel message. Also nice to see the result and impact of all the weekly work and care we all put into it.
God’s working
It was nice to hear the stories of how camp Jabez has impacted people, young and old alike. There focus on the message of Jesus and the cross is a simple one!
Andy at Jabez again❤️
They had an open house and it was fun to have my mom, Andy, and Sophie along to see what goes on at the camp. Andy can just barely remember camping and fishing there back in the early 2000’s. Seeing it did bring back some memories for Andy. He caught his first fish in that pond. :)
Rolex just dropped this little gem on everybody
It was kind of surprise super complicated dress watch. Pretty nice looking, lots of complications, and nice finishing touches like the moon indicators being made a meteorite. Too much $$$ for me! But pretty cool nonetheless.
