| The Richard and Miranda Johnson Kids A Different Adventure ... a day at the zoo ... |
She drove out in her dad’s truck, knowing she might not be able to get close to the house.
I called out to Annis Bay to ask David Wood if Miranda would be able to get down the drive-way to the cabin. He said no, that wouldn’t be possible. The road in hasn’t been ploughed out this winter and now there has been rain, and freezing ice on top of the high snowfall from the winter.
The snow crackles when you touch it, but it won’t yield to the plough.
Miranda said that wouldn’t bother her. She would walk in from the juncture at Pilling's Road.
Dave Wood met her there with some sleds so that the kids could pull their belongings down the hill and to the house.
Dave said he had barely turned away when he heard squealing and yelling. He turned back to see the children screaming with laughter and sliding down the hill.
No groceries or suitcases on their sleds.
I will send pictures of their outing when Miranda gets the internet up at the cabin.
Right now they are truly isolated: no internet.
It is evening and Miranda texts that the tobogganing party is over and they are all safely in the house.

I so want to be there with you guys!
ReplyDeleteWhen I go out and look at their blog I think I am going to burst out crying when I see the pictures that Miranda is posting on their family blog. Check it out, either with the link on the side of this page or by going to https://shuswapspring.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteChildren loving the earth, safe in Secwepemculucw.
DeleteI can't think of a more lovely sanctuary for them to be in.
ReplyDeleteThe pictures that Miranda is posting on her "Spring in the Shuswap" blog are making me long for a trip out there. Well, I heard on the radio, maybe 5 more weeks of social (now they are saying physical) distancing and then we will be there to see the buds on the trees and the water rushing down the creek as they are seeing it.
