Well ..yes I know this is late in posting...but as of July 16th, 2007... my husband Barry (Forsyth) is now a foreman at Highland Valley Copper Mine. This is a job that Barry was not sure if he wanted ... he's a 'people person' with a heart for his fellow workers... and was afraid that if he put put on the foreman's hat he would seem a different person...to the friends he's worked with for years. He is a man who gives and always wants to give a hand to all....which has sometimes caused him to be hurt, but he'd have it no other way. "Generous" could be his middle name, as Barry would give the shirt off his back if it would help you out.

Barry's brother David always knew Barry had a higher calling - he told Barry for years that he had it in him to be a millwright ...and that Barry should go for his ticket ... which Barry finally did ...and in 2002. Barry became a red seal ..which meant he could now do his trade in any province. I know that it was the the support of our children and family members - and the prayers of Miles and Barb ( his sister and brother in law) But the mine manager also saw Barry's the ability to be a person who could move up ... that becoming a foreman would not go to his head - inflate his ego. Barry's desire is for his crew to be the best that they are ...and he will help ..teach and bend down and work along side of these men .

As his wife I am so proud of him ...he has the heart and smarts to be all that he has been asked to be . We made a life changing decision to start our new life living in our fifth wheel recently - to live and laugh ...and not count all the material things that some think are all - important....we are not putting off and waiting for that one day dream ..we are going for it now ...


Congratulations Barry (husband, father,Papa, friend!) WE LOVE YOU WITH ALL OUR HEARTS!

Thanks Barb ...for this awesome layout and honoring your brother.....

Sunday we had the artist Melissa and Ellesia stop by ...the two artist had fun painting the

little enclosure Barry had put on the front of the fifth wheel....

I want to thank them both ...they did an awesome job..

the little door you see at the bottom is a door for

Peewee to go thru to his bed and food ....

SAMANTHA

We look back in time, Young and very innocent

Seeing the world through your eyes

Memories we hold safe in our heart

To sometimes unwrap with a smile and the comfort of a sigh

Now our little girl is grown,

And a woman you have become

With the wisdom and strength God has given

Is tranquillity we feel knowing that anything

you will overcome

This strength and warmth of heart we see in you

We know will lay no boundaries

For the world is yours to have sweetheart

To hold in your hands, each moment to appreciate and seize

We am there standing in the shadows

allowing you to grow and learn

Holding onto the knowledge that with your heart,

You will succeed

It is your strength and kind heart about you that shines

As a single ray of sunlight beaming through a cloud

insisting we look higher and higher

To lift us up when we are down

It is this my daughter in you that we do admire.

Happy Birthday Samantha

Barry and I and Melissa ...joined DJ and Candy and Drew and Keisha for a fun filled weekend at the PNE...Samantha was meeting down us down there(as she has been attending BCIT)and boy it was fun. Because of my knee I did not get to go on any rides ..but I got to watch and snap a few pictures of a really great time. We arrived at the coast Friday ...the next morning Barry's twin brother Billy join us all for breakfast ...thanks Bill it was great of you to came over to the place we stayed at and to joins us. We then headed over for a fun filled day ..thanks guys it was fun. Sunday we all had to head home ..we stayed a little longer we had family we wanted to see and they wanted to see us to and spend some time together.

Well by August we were home in B.C. again. Back in Barriere ...where we consider our second home ..or our base. The Johnson have done so much for us ...so when we park there it's like home. The first night home the sky was so alive ..so don't mind all the evening sky shoots. We rested there for about a week then headed over to the Thompson River close to where my mom and dad live...and spend sometime..as by the pictures you can see the girls really enjoyed themselves. Our next big outing will be going down to the PNE....we will head back up to Barriere from the river ....and down to the coast ....with DJ & Candy & Drew & Keisha & us ...going to meet Samantha who is down there doing her first apprentice in sheet metal at BCIT. ....

Today I am posting this recipe ....I hope you will like it ...

Chicken substitutes beautifully for fattier beef in this wholesome chili. The baked chips add fiber, flavour, and crunch without extra fat.

White Chicken Chili
¾ lb boneless, skinless chicken breast,cubed
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 cup chicken broth
2 cans (12oz) navy beans, rinsed and drained
1 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground red pepper
4 cups baked tortilla chips
½ cup shredded reduced-fat extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
1. Heat a large skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat .
Add the chicken, and cook for 10 minutes , or until no longer pink, stirring frequently.
Remove, and set aside. Recoat the skillet. Add the onion and garlic, and cook for 5
minutes, or until soft.
2. Place the chicken, onion, and garlic in a slow cooker. Add the broth, beans, cumin, salt, and
pepper. Simmer on low for 5 to 6 hours. Serve over the tortilla chips, topped with cheese.

Well here we go into the K-Country or Kananaskis Country....and Dave and Neti we were right this is beautiful country.....well worth the time....we had decide to go back to B.C thru the Alberta side till we go to Jasper ...Barry and Melissa had never see the ice fields...and we all had not see the K-Country...and well if you ever get a chance do the trip ..do . And as you can see heading into the ice fields it was awesome ..there is a place where you can stop and actually walk and snowmobile up on the glaciers....worth the time....we were luck to get a camping spot ....very busy but not to the point of ugly...traffic problems or any other problems. Barry and I hope to get back there again...some great place to fish ...hey dave and Neti lets meet up their ..it would be awesome....hehehe
