Back to the French River

Mr. B and I, along with two students from the school (let's call them H & J), were back to the French River the weekend of September 15th as part of the Duke of Edinburgh program. For their expedition component of the program, the girls had decided to go canoeing for three days.


Although it had been only two weeks ago that Mr. B and I were on this same river system, the scenery was very different as the foliage had already begun to change colour.

It was also colder at night and the fire skills of Mr. B were much appreciated. I don't think a single piece of fallen wood was left unburnt once we had departed the site.

The trip, though memorable in its own right, was taken over the top when Mr. B had to exit the canoe and bare his toes during a simple 'pull-over'. I had to document the occasion despite having to face the wrath of H for the 'from behind' angle of this picture.

Cartel Update - Sept. 22

I have been remiss in attending to my blog since starting back at school. So much to do at the beginning of the school year that I have been unable to find the time to sit down and update my own blog let alone peruse through the variety of blogs which I normally follow.

Anyway, since the school is off on our yearly trip to Haliburton this coming week, I was able to find a few precious moments this morning to attempt an update.

There have been several Cartel meetings since my last update but I had forgotten my camera and thus these meetings can not be properly documented. The last documented Cartel meeting was last week and as you can see from the picture, D and her cleavage was in attendance - or is that 'were in attendance'? Unfortunately, LED was unable to attend but she missed little as we did not go to a movie. It has been my observation that there seems to be a lack of good movies at this time of year. Maybe distributors also recognize the lack of free time at the beginning of a school year.
