Water Bottle Ice Cube Trays

I might be the last one on earth to discover this wonderful invention, but they are sooo handy! If you re-use your water bottles, or just need a way to keep them cold... lookout for these fancy little ice cube trays.

They freeze a perfect cylinder, which easily pops into your water bottle. It saves you the headache of trying to jam crushed ice into the tiny opening.

I haven't found them in town yet, so please contact me if you see them for sale anywhere!

Kelowna's new LOGO!

A new look for The City of Kelowna, they have re-designed their logo! A brightly coloured logo showing the sun above Okanagan Lake was designed by Phred Martin of Splash Design. The logo was awarded top prize in the logo redesign category at the 2009 Summit International Creative Awards from among thousands of submissions from 26 countries.

The symbol is made of rows of red, orange, green and blue triangles to form a pulsating circle. Kelowna’s natural environment and its history inspired the logo design with its shape based on a Ponderosa pinecone, the Okanagan Sunflower – the City’s official floral emblem, and the weaved baskets of the Interior Salish.

It might be shocking at first glance, but that's probably just the discomfort of change ;)

What do you want the most in this heat?

31 degrees in Kelowna today and besides deodorant, water and sunscreen, the next most desireable item of the day is...

There just HAPPENS to be a DQ across the street.


The willpower clock is now ticking.

Ogopogo Sighting, just another big fish?

Another Ogopogo sighting on Lake Okanagan July 9th. I like the honesty of this one. 41 year old Wendy Sanderson and Gordon Krug both saw what they describe as a 30 foot long creature with three humps. Wendy says she will never swim in the lake again, Gordon says he doesn't want to be called a freak in public and admits what he saw, was probably a very large Sturgeon.

Perhaps all these years we've only been seeing a glipse and our wild imaginations are filling in the blanks? I read somewhere that Sturgeons only grow to a maximum of 18 feet. I also read that people are only supposed to have 10 toes, and I have met a girl with 11. ;)

Gordon Campbell uses Twitter

Gordon Cambell just started "following" me. Should I be flattered or is his assistant just digging through provincial residents mailing information?

I think I know the answer to that question. ;)

Although I was one of the first 3,400 adds!

It's wild who follows you on Twitter without you inviting them to, I guess this is one of the fascinations with the site.
