July 8th 2009
Derek and I are going on vacation soon with my sister Cate and her two children. My Bogglingly Brilliant, Gobsmackingly Gorgeous and Terribly Talented Niece and Nephew, Amy and Henry.
We are all renting a house together in the beautiful B.C. Southern Gulf Islands.
Can not wait.
The house is on the water and includes a bit of beach, a tiny island and a couple of boats with which we can travel to said island.
With a little research I have discovered that our little island, sadly, remains to this day unnamed.
I have taken it upon myself to name the island and to create a welcome plaque of sorts, which we shall install as a nice family activity with the children.
The unusual shape of our little island causes all sorts of creative names to spring to mind. However, being a responsible aunt and uncle we have chosen something perfectly innocent.
I have designed the Plaque in Google Sketchup and we will be milling it out of Brass this weekend on our CNC, to install, hopefully permanently, on the island.
I will take photographs and post then upon our return.
They will be the picture of innocence.
Think of the children.
(Incase you are curious, yes that is an accurate topographical map of the island)
