Coldwater river hits back.

This July will see the return of rocking on the river in Merritt BC. The events will bring people back to a little bit closer to normal as the world goes on.l we look forward to this event and somebody might say live, love laugh with others recently overcoming severe trials.

Push back on the flooding that made all of Merritt be under evacuation order last November…

Four day camping on the grounds, four days out of the city. Four days away from the glue of the tube and the sticky world of woe. Good luck.

Tim McGraw, Saturday July 30th…

Always stay humble and kind…

As long as the stars burn hot.

A ring I present, our view so recent .
Before our knowing they began. 
A loop of love  woven to be clear. 
That you and I were made to be,
a ring of sweet desire without fear. 
A time eternal,a lore to own. 
No need to reason, just invoke.
So much bigger then an explain, a gift to have and to cherish.
I take thee as my part and wait thee free.
