Sunday, September 21, 2014 at 11:48AM If anyone is going to IKEA & could pick up a few items for me I'm happy to pay you fairly for your time. Also, I would like to hire someone who would buck up my logs so I can get my wood split for the winter ASAP.
With Gratitude in advance,

Tuesday, December 16th, 2014
Have you found that favourite story or poem yet ? What about the preschoolers....jingle bells is always fun...and all you musicians, we hope you are practicing!
And of course we would appreciate any baked goodies to be served afterwards.
Let us know what you are planning to do so we can put together a marvellous concert.

Does anyone on Thetis know of a company nearby that does whale-watching tours? Or someone from the island? Please email halakidance@gmail.com if you know of someone.
Thanks,

Tuesday, September 16, 2014 at 8:53PM My family and I are contemplating buying on Thetis Island. We are a young 30's professional couple (I am and RN and my husband is a business manager).
We have a toddler and another child on the way. We currently live on Vancouver Island in Langford but are unhappy with the city life. We want to raise our children in a close community where people and nature are important. We want to leave behind the consumer driven society we currently live in where not having the latest toy, video game etc is an issue for some people.
We are earth friendly, hardworking, peaceful people looking to get back to the earth and teach our kids accordingly. That being said I would like to hear from local people about Thetis island and what it is like to raise young children on it, commute on the ferry to work everyday, etc. Are there daycares, feed stores, community center, libraries etc.
What sorts of things are there to do for kids in the summer? We would be wanting to have a small hobby farm with a few animals to provide for our family. Is this lifestyle embraced or are chickens and bees and a pig, goat not allowed? I have looked at many websites on Thetis island but would really like to hear first hand from people the good and bad about this island as it would be a big move for us. Thank you so much for reading this and for responding to those who do!

Tuesday, September 16, 2014 at 8:51PM Dear Thetis,
Some places come into your life for a reason. I didn't know who I was or where my place was in this world when I landed on Hollyberry lane. The people I met there gave me the strength to move on and move forward and as tempting as it was to return....I have much to do over here right now. I wish you all a bountiful harvest season and smooth ferry rides. I will miss singing among your trees.
