Denman Island!!

Yay for Denman (the link is to a photo album of this weekend - check it out!)!!! ... the rest of last week will go unmentioned save to say that I'm glad to be through it, and to finally not be falling asleep as soon as I stop moving. This past weekend I had the pleasure of being invited (with a group of other people) to a friend's family property on Denman Island.
I had never been there (actually, besides the friend and his dad, only one person had) and I was definitely very happy I went, for many reasons, the view from their back deck being one of them. We saw many a deer out in the fields.
We got there Friday night (we didn't make it on the first ferry ride ... a whole 18 minute-long ride), and arrived around 9pm, just in time to start a fire and have a late supper. Mmm mmm. The food the whole weekend was fantabulous. A group of us went down to the beach that evening and got a fire going for a bit, but didn't stay long as it was a bit chilly by the ocean.
Saturday we actually got to see the beauty of the island, no matter which window you looked out of. It started off with a game of Settlers of Cattan, as every weekend should, with late breakfast being a delicious interruption. After breakfast we took a walk around the property, visited the cows and the dogs, and then headed back to stack wood for the planned bonfire that night. We got back in just before dark, and some people played another game of Settlers, and there's proof.
The fire turned out rather well, and the fireworks were enchanting, and I also have proof of that!! Somewhere in there I watched the Leafs game, and although it was fuzzy, I enjoyed it very much (especially as someone there was cheering for the Habs). Boo-yah! :D So, the Leafs are still playing well, despite the loss of the captain, but I hope Raycroft comes back soon (he is expected to) because otherwise I think they'll be in tough against the Devils next Saturday. The Bruins they'll beat no matter who's in net! Mwahaha!! Go 4-game winning streak!!!
I'll write about the rest of the weekend later ... supper needs to be made ...
