July 2006

July 2006- Nothing has happened yet on the permit side of things. We did get our final clearance on the Indian bones- so now we know we can build. The archaeologist gave us his report, and the Indian tribes had a blessing of the bones, an actual ceremony where they blessed the grave site of past generations. We don't know what happened to the bones they found (but we do know they found an entire family including 2 children) but the shards of pottery were taken to BC museums to be enjoyed by all. The archaeology report is great news--- Mom was convinced she would never live to see a new beach house-But, I know we will have a new--even better beach house some day! We just hate to see another summer that we can't enjoy being up at our property. (We can't even camp here--the land is so dug up from the archaeological dig and the construction equipment everywhere, there would be no place for us to even park!)
