Art and lifestyle showing

This showing of art and lifestyle chronicles  an interesting life of a women, that came to Canada from Holland at 19 years of age.  She has hosted an optimistic life after coming 6 months after War Bride privileges expired in Canada to join her Husband a WW II veteran she met in Europe. One of her life choices was to not compete in the 1948 Olympics that she had qualified for and to choose  a  more private lifestyle here in Canada with her future husband Norm.

Her choice’s further included wisdom to over come the past as a child viewing mass  reprisal executions in her village by occupation forces. The woman is a great example of overcoming and mitigating the petty things that often escalate to the  unattractive and sometimes cruel; in this life sometimes covered by a thin veneer of prosperity.

Her showing at the Court House Gallery here in Merritt BC , Canada kicks off with an evening reception on the ninth of July.  The showing will run weekends through July.

Rates : For perspective and understanding of positive projection: ***** excellent.

recreation

A retired man named Jerry has good access to the great outdoors around here. We think that that’s a privilege and worth much in lifestyle and quality of life. A tenured system allows access to Crown land for responsible recreational purposes. One tenure, the open range land (one of the oldest) is sensitive to noxious weeds spreading on rec vehicles and we advise people always to heed signage and gates.
