Sunrise - August 25 2014 - 7:00 AM

It was a very lazy Monday morning for me. It is one of those days where I wish I could have slept in. But some of us have to work. Below is a photo I took while waiting for the bus. Beautiful sunrise. One of God's beautiful creation.

Liebenzel Camping 2014

Among the 3 times that we went camping at Liebenzel, to me the last one is the best. We stayed the whole time and enjoyed every minute of it. My kids, wife, my sister and I enjoyed all the meals that was served and also the planned activities. There were movie nights where they showed the trilogy (Left Behind: The Movie, Left Behind II: Tribulation Force and Left Behind: World at War.). Although there were no competition and prizes in the outdoor sports activities, we all enjoyed badminton, volleyball, baseball and the team games that the youth organized. Following are some photos of the event.

 

Kelso Beach

Our family and some of our friends went to Kelso beach. It is located at 5234 Kelso Road Milton, ON L9T 2X7 it is about 30-45 minutes from where we live. Considering it was a Sunday when we went, the place was not so crowded like some beaches we went to before. The beach was clean and my 3 young boys really enjoyed swimming and playing in the sand. The beach is also supervised by lifeguards so we adults enjoyed a picnic in the large area near the trees.

Other activities that is available in the conservatory area follows:

• Riding a bike along the mountain bike trail
• Skiing or snowboarding down the slopes during winter
• Kayaking across Kelso Lake
• Bird watching

Cherry Tomatoes - Initial Harvest

After almost a month, I was able to harvest some cherry tomatoes from our yard. I did not even wait for it to become red because I am am afraid that squirrels, racoons and skunks that sometimes visit our backyard will have interest in it.

We bought 3 small tomato plants from Canadian Tire for less than CAD 10. If I am not able to get more tomatoes in the next few weeks, it would seem we did not get a good return on our investment.

Following is a description taken from the Liebenzell website:

"The Liebenzell Centre is situated on over 45 beautiful acres (18.5 hectares) of trees, fields, ponds, and trails, near the town of Moffat Ontario Canada which is within an hour’s drive from the Greater Toronto Area, Hamilton, Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge, and many other parts of southern Ontario. The Liebenzell Centre offers church and para-church groups as well as pastors and other Christian workers, a quiet and comfortable place of retreat and equipping to enhance their own spiritual lives, and ministry to others. This is not a “rental facility”, but rather a gift from God that Liebenzell Canada makes available without charge.

Sushi For Dinner

After we found out that my 12 year old son loves to eat sushi, my wife researched and tried to make some. We got the ingredients in a nearby supermarket.

I must say that it is very tasty!

007 - Carte Blanche

This is a new James Bond Novel. It has not been made a movie yet. I am not sure if it is good enough to be made into a movie. I will start reading this tonight.

Update: Just finished reading the book - August 8, 2014. Just like all the James Bond Novels, it was full of action and high-tech gadgets. I knew based on the review that there are twists in the book but I was not expecting the main protagonist to be the lady that 007 dated.
