Saturday, April 29, 2023 at 6:21PM **Branches, Branches, Branches??
Now you're Wondering what to do with that pile of branches?
Woody has a solution!
He is just hungry for branches!
So, round up a team of branch handlers to feed Woody, and we've got an aerobics workout with a fun time and purpose, the more the merrier!
Woody, an industrial 49hp trailer mounted Woodchipper capable of chipping up to 12" diameter wood stock, is on Thetis and ready to serve the Island.
Woody, with 2 motivated branch handlers feeding him, can handily convert a VW Bug sized branch pile into wood chips. The more branch feeders recruited to feed Woody the faster Woody will convert those "Branches" into wood chips. No need to worry about feeding Woody too much, he will just hiccup and chew on!
Accessible tidy piles will feed Woody faster.
See if you can make Woody hiccup!
For a Chipping Good Time without the Frustration of When to Let the Smoke Out,
Woody's swamper, Greg,
First hour @ $150
Following time @ $125/hr
Saturday, April 29, 2023 at 6:20PM Large bohemian style wicker basket that is both practical and aesthetically pleasing for your storage needs. Incredibly versatile, it‘s perfect for housing throw blankets and pillows, storing extra linens and towels, or perhaps as a catch-all toy bin for the kiddos! With two side handles and removable lid, it’s in wonderful condition and stands 21” high (with the lid) and 17” wide. Asking $35.
Stunning Mid Century, three-tiered, solid wood trolly that would be an easy addition to any home. With the wood offering warmth and the clean lines offering simplicity, it’s the small details such as trim, rounded corner tops, and smoothly rolling brass wheels that really bring it altogether. Could be a plant stand, used for displaying beautiful china, or as a portable coffee bar. It’s in excellent condition with only a slight bend on the top shelf. Measures 31” tall, 24” wide, and 16” deep. Asking $100.
Please text Sarah at 403-952-7198 for photos or checkout @small.island.finds on Instagram.

Thursday, April 27, 2023 at 6:51AM Dear All,
Thank you so much to those who attended Gerry's Celebration of Life Tuesday whether virtually or in person. In all there were about 70 people. Many of us, (including his son!) learned more about what sort of a chap he was.
Sorry about the sound issues for those there virtually - my fault. Serena is making a final version of the video that she will upload to YouTube in a week or two's time. There those who couldn't hear it well may do so. Also, if anyone has photos they would like to include in the video please send them to her asap at serenats@outlook.com.
Love to all, Jeremy.
Thursday, April 27, 2023 at 6:50AM Thank you, Paul, for taking such good care of our sign for Thetis Island Marina.
