Preparing to FIRE!
About Me
- Leslie:
- Delta, British Columbia, Canada
- I took very early retirement from teaching in '06 and did some traveling in Europe and the UK before settling down to do some private tutoring. As a voracious reader, I have many books waiting in line for me to read. Tell me I shouldn't read something, and I will. I'm a happy, optimistic person and I love to travel and through that believe that life can be a continuous learning experience. I'm looking forward to traveling more some day. I enjoy walking, cycling, water aerobics & and sports like tennis, volleyball, and fastpitch/baseball. I'm just getting into photography as a hobby and I'm enjoying learning all the bits and bobs of my digital camera. My family is everything to me and I'm delighted to be the mother of two girls and the Gramma of a boy and a girl. I may be a Gramma, but I'm at heart just a girl who wants to have fun.

E is for EXPLOSION
Hello and welcome to E week! Sorry to be late posting but I've had guests from Wales for the past week and we've been on the go every day! I took them this morning to pick up a rental car and they are off to see Vancouver Island for a week. Then they'll be back for a night and off for 3 nights at Whistler.
As soon as I arrived home after taking them for their rental car, I sat down to do my post - E is for Explosion. This comes from our day at Fort Langley where they put on a weapons demonstration. These weapons are from the early 1800s when the fur trappers were in the area. The fellow (below)who gave the talk told us all about the history of the gun, the powder used, how to load it and more! I'll be bringing more about the fort and other places we visited in future weeks.
Hope everyone's having a good summer so far. We actually have too much heat right now and smoke due to those fires, but it'd due to cool off a bit by the end of the week.

That sounds very interesting. I bet it was noisy too!
Interesting part of the history of the Fort. Enjoy your company Leslie!
Not a problem at all that you are late ;-) You have very good reasons and how wonderful ones too. Can be tiresome but the pleasure makes it all worth it.
Have a ♥-warming AbC-day / -week

I had some explosions on my E post too!
ROG, ABCW
Looks like a very interesting place to visit, even with the explosions!
That looks like it creates a very loud explosion. Pow!
Looks like fun!
