Last weekend we had the pleasure of hosting the Mark and Kristina’s wedding, such a great couple to work with.
The wedding was beautiful; from the weather, to the decor , to the amazing menu. Lux Events did super job of balancing the forest rustic with elegant decor, their planning went off with out a hitch.
Once again Chef Jenni pulled off an amazing meal “The Locally Sourced Forest Feast”, it was unbelievable as always!
Here are a couple pics from the day.

The appetizer menu created by Chef Jenni.
Wild Blueberry Hand Pies with Seabuckthorn Caramel,Haskap and Bakeapple Sorbet…I seriously wanted to lick the plate however my small amount of etiquette did prevail.
Thank you to all for a great day!!

Hello friends, today I am sharing with you Christopher Lake’s very own, the deliriously delicious Yellow Fender Coffee House and Eatery!
This wonderful bistro is a little gem and if you are coming to this neck of the woods, I highly recommend you stop here for some tasty nourishment.
It is owned and operated by a mother Connie Freedy, who is also a Red Seal chef, and her daughter Heidi O’ Brodovich. Together they lovingly prepare fresh food made from local and Saskatchewan ingredients. The restaurant it’s self is warm and inviting, with the smell of fresh baked artisan bread and gourmet coffee brewing, it’s instantly relaxing. Their creations are extensive from hearty soups, to fruit smoothies, to lentil walnut burgers and don’t worry meat lovers they also have local bison and their house burgers. You always feel good after eating there as they use the best quality ingredients.
They also specialize in small event catering, so if you are planning an upcoming event, give them a shout at 982-4240 and let them work with you to develop the perfect menu!
 Yellow Fender Coffee House and Eatery  Fresh Baked Artisan Bread  Yes I will have a muffin with my espresso!  Fresh made hamburger and bun with house cut fries = awesome!

During the summer they are open 8:00 am to 8:00 pm Tuesday – Saturday, Sunday 10:00 am – 6:00pm and closed on Mondays.

Hello…I hope your day is moving along splendidly. I just came across this great website called Give Tree Gifts, which I am so pleased to share with you. This Saskatchewan business offers a whole range of green gift ideas, but what strikes a cord with me is the tree seedling gifts. There are so many special occasions that would benefit from such a thoughtful gift, from party favors to Earth-day celebrations. The one I fancy, is the use of tree seedlings as wedding favors for couples wanting a more eco-friendly day…I love it! Such a beautiful way to start their lives together. Their wedding favors don’t just end up in the garbage but they provide benefit to the earth and all the people who encounter it for years to come.
” As you grow and build your lives together, so the tree grows. Each tree ring represents another year of growth and strength, not unlike your wedding rings. They symbolize love and eternity and are an outward sign of an inward and spiritual bond.”
Couples are also able to have a carbon neutral wedding done in partnership with The Carbon Farmer. So neat I wish I’d heard of this when I got married!
 Seedling gifts Give Tree Gifts also sells some great resource books for couples planning a green wedding.
 The Green Bride Guide
 The Everything Green Wedding Book
Please check out the story behind Give Tree Gifts and how it started with a memorial to her father, it’s beautiful.

This was the 10th anniversary of the Outter Limits Fun Run and it has been getting better every year. The growing number of people in attendance is a testament to what a great event it is. My brother and I ran in the very first Outter Limits Fun Run together so it was kind of nice to be able to run it again together on the 10th anniversary.
The 10 or 5 km run/walk takes place 30 minutes north of Flora Bora at the beautiful Elk Ridge Golf Course at a time of year when the fall colours are spectacular. The folks from Outter Limits do an amazing job of actually making the words ‘Fun and Run’ go together. There is bag-piper at the start line, bongo drummers and musicians along the route, prizes for the best costumes, lots of fun games on the go, participant gifts that rock, great food, and two kegs of beer!
2012 Fun Run will be September 29 so register for the run and book your yurt early!

This has been a wonderful September. There has been lots of beach days, lake temperatures have been perfect for swimming, no crowds and the tree’s have been spectacular.
 2nd week of September
Boundary Bog trail in Prince Albert National Park is a favorite anytime of year but it really shines in the fall with the tamaracks’ changing colour.
 Great time of year for hiking or trail running.
 Showing how elegant and unflexible I am.
Sandy Lake is located on the south end of Prince Albert National and only 15 minutes from us. It is such a nice lake with a sandy bottom great for swimming, its never too busy, great sites for campfires and a hiking trail that hooks up with the Elk Trail.
 Another lake option so close to us.
 Roasting hot dogs.
 Three generations taking a stroll.
 Amazing time of year to be on Emma Lake.
 Morning paddle on Tuddles Lake.
 Beautiful fall colours on the third lake.
 Momma having some fun - September 24
 It was +27C and we had the lake to ourselves...I didn't want the day to end.
