CAVE DWELLING.......

So I spent the long weekend with Don up at his families cabin located at the very lovely Horne Lake. We ventured up on Friday night after picking me up off the ever so late Ferry. On Saturday morning the sun was shining and reflecting off the lake ever so beautifully.....to bad we didn't get out of bed to enjoy it. By the time we forced ourselves out of bed and my slave boy cooked me a fabulous breakfast the weather turned crappy. So to the caves we headed......

Horne Lake has some super cool caves.....yes I admit....I was a little freaked out. A few times I wondered what the hell I was doing standing inside a very dark, wet, slimy cave scaling the side of it in my runners none the less. Of course all the while I was holding a flashlight and had no helmet on....then Don kept telling me not to fall .....oh man that would have left a mark !! We did lots of climbing and crawling throughout the caves and we go quite mucky and wet at times.....but it was sure fun. As we headed back to the cabin we got a call that it was cocktail hour over at on the neighbours ......so Don floored it and we made it just in time. After cocktail hour we headed back to the cabin for dinner....which was again prepared by my very handsome slave boy....yum !! Then over to Nancy and Billy's cabin for more drinks and socializing. The lake folks are very nice peeps......they sure know how to party and have fun !!

On Sunday.....we woke once again to the sun bouncing off the lake and into the cabin.....but in true form.....we didn't get out of bed until it was gone. My breakfast was prepared once again and when I say breakfast....I mean the full meal deal.....eggs, sausage, bacon & toast....well okay SOMEONE forgot the hash browns.....but all was forgiven ...hehehe. Later that day Don's Mom and Dad showed up to join us for some lake fun. We ate, we drank, we listened to music.......it was all good. Oh ya....dinner was wonderfully prepared by Don's mom Terry....it was delicious !! They had rack of lamb BBQ and I had pork tenderloin BBQ.....cause me don't likes the lamb. Boy am I ever spoiled !!! I wasn't a complete diva....I did TRY the lamb......but it's not my bag baby !!

Monday when we woke up the sun once again was shining.....but this time it suck around all day ......YIPPEE !!! It was so nice being on the lake with the sun shining away. It was just to bad that we we were only there for half the day. We headed back down to Nanaimo that afternoon to hook up with Gary & Lexie, who were on there way back from Port McNeill......with a cooler FULL of fresh crab........YUMM.....another awesome meal for me !! I don't know kids....I could really get used to this kinda of life style.....hehehe !!! Sadly I know that I am in for some sort of harsh reality check....one day !! Oh well.... I will take what I can get for now.

Hope ya alls are doin great !! The mighty Wingfield family is on it's way back to beautiful BC.....we are expecting them sometime next week. Unfortunately..... they are rudely heading right through to Gibsons without even stopping to say HI. Oh well.....I am sure before I know it I will be complaining that they here and always hangin around .......hehehe.....kiddin....that would never happen. I can't wait to see them.....so much fun will be had by all !!!

Here are some pictures of me and Don at the caves......enjoy....
