#49: Move with The Times
As I enjoy some time at Shuswap, memories always flood in. As children our many parents, aunts and uncles had to spend so much time entertaining us. Outside games like Doubles Tag, and Red Rover; inside games like Nerts, Crazy 8's, and Rook; at the beach like swimming, canoeing, and Rock Walks. I am sure it was fun for them sometimes? :)
Their time was spent with us because we didn't have televisions, we only rented movies occasionally in town, and the Internet did not exist yet. Nothing like 40 bored kids to drive adults crazy.
After all that time spent with aunts like Arta, we began to move with the times. We bought a TV for the cabin, we all joined the internet with emails (thanks to Arta), and we continued to access more technology like digital games (not Arta's idea).
Now we are on to our next adventure at Shuswap: Telus PureFibre Internet access.
I was here when Telus showed up to install the two polls and fibre optic cables so we can send emails, post on this blog, and maintain contact with friends and each other from Shuswap faster!
Here are some pictures:

#50: Take Care of the Land and Enjoy
Well here we are placing poles in the land, not disturbing the trees, things blending in.
