Smooth Sailing!
Jim and Lynette

Where's Lynette?

2010-03-02T11:02:00.000-08:00

Lynette's been under the weather and is still hoping to get away for a long weekend too. Hmmmm, sounds a little suspicious to you? Hopefully she'll be back to feeling herself soon.
Lawn mowers are making noise all over my neiborhood and maybe yours too. I was really hoping to make it to the 15th before I mow. I'm not sure i'm gonna make it.

Wow, Olympic and Spring Fever at the same time!

2010-02-19T11:52:00.000-08:00

So much happening in our backyard with the Olympics and all the excitement. Great stories of achievement from the athletes and some great stories of Faith and witness from volunteers reaching out to athletes, spectators and locals during the games....

And this weather! It's getting everyone into the Spring-time feeling. The only thing lacking is the calendar. It should say March, not February.

Jim's on vacation!

2009-09-14T10:52:00.000-07:00

So while Jim is on vacation...I have had some fun inviting special guests in the studio...Local celebrity and talk show host Jerry Stewart, Scotty Brocket from our sales team, Pastor Kim Ryan, Lance Landry and tommorrow I look forward to Andrew from "The Panic Squad"...Since they are an improvisational comedy group...there might be some surprises in store for the show...should be fun...Now I haven't heard from Jim while he is in Colorado Bow-hunting, so I will assume NO news is good news! He will join me back on the air on Monday!

Then he'll find out just how many people it took to fill his BIG shoes!

COFFEE that lets you sleep at night

2009-08-12T08:17:00.000-07:00

Yesterday the guys from Camano Island Coffee Roasters came to our radio station to let Jim and I and the staff sample their AMAZINGLY delicious coffee AND we learned a few things about 'fair trade' when it comes to coffee. Now Jim LOVES his coffee in the morning and can pretty much down the whole pot before we are off the air each morning...Me? Well I call myself a 'social' coffee drinker...if it's there...I'll drink it and I LOVE going out for coffee with the girlfriends...But there is so much to know about the coffee we drink...Jim and I were both really enlightened to find out about a few things and thought we would pass the info on to you...CICR believes in giving the farmers a FAIR price for their coffee, which is grown in the BEST or conditions, is certified organic is shade grown. It is available in several roasts and grinds...Find out more about their incredible coffee and how you can help change the world for the better one 'sip' at a time....www.camanoislandcoffee.com

What a BUSY Summer!

2009-07-16T10:23:00.000-07:00

We have had way too much fun with all the concerts coming to our area the past few months...(You can check out pictures on our Facebook pages!) We posted a couple of pictures below! While Jim enjoyed a 2 week vacation all over Alaska with his wonderful wife Sharon...I had the opportunity to fly to Kauai for my niece Melody's wedding and a few days on the beach with my family in Cannon beach, Oregon.

Now, we're gearing up for KUTLESS in concert at the end of the month and Michael W. Smith and Steven Curtis Chapman as well! And we will make an appearance at the Northwest Washington Fair in August! Hope to see you there! Have a GREAT summer!

Rockin' with the Newsboys!

2009-04-01T11:06:00.000-07:00

What an incredible night of music with VOTA, Bread of Stone, Decemberradio and of course THE NEWSBOYS! New frontman for Newsboys, Michael Tait did an amazing job of connecting with the sold out crowd at Abbotsford Alliance singing Newsboys and some classic DC Talk tunes. We are so fortunate to have the opportunity to support Christian artists in BC. Jim and I LOVED meeting so many of you. Join us for Jeremy Camp on May 1st and Third Day with Brandon Heath and Brian Dierksen in the NEW Abbotsford Sports Centre on May 9th! Great times ahead...Check out the pictures from the Newsboys concert below!

Time for an update!

2009-03-09T10:07:00.000-07:00

Already March...whew..where has the year gone? As I loook outside the studio window..It looks like a blizzard....I say "Yippee"! Jim says "No, not again"...(Is that so he doesn't have to pick me up in the morning? hmmmm...) Thought it was a perfect day to pick out a recipe to try at home from the recipes you have submitted on our Contest Page for FAST FAMILY DINNERS...I'm thinking of trying "Poor Man's Alfredo"...It sounds perfect for warming up my family on a cold winter's night!
(If you would like the recipes for the whole week...check them out on our webpage!)

LOVIN' THE FALL WEATHER!

2008-10-13T09:54:00.000-07:00

Fall is absolutely amazing in the Pacific Northwest and both Jim and I are totally celebrating that it is FINALLY here! Something we both agree on...but for different reasons...go figure! Jim is the ultimate outdoorsman and enjoys all the 'outdoor' stuff with his family...from camping to hiking and of course Bow-hunting with the boys!
On the other hand..I love Fall because of the wonderful Fall clothes! Yeah..I'm a sucker for the layered look and love wearing all the cozy sweaters and boots! Making anything with pumpkin in it is also my favorite thing to do on a rainy cold Fall Day! My family LOVES my Pumpkin Chocolate Chips cookies...Give them a try...One of the few cookie recipes with NO eggs! Really! Happy Autumn from Jim and Lynette!

Jim's Gone...Lynette fills his shoes!

2008-09-10T10:46:00.000-07:00

So the best part of doing Mornings is I get ALL the coffee in the morning! However I do miss the guy...It's hard to be BOTH Jim AND Lynette...but the mornings do go by quicker! Jim is enjoying some "outdoor" time with his sons Hunter and Chase...but as soon as he returns...I will be taking some time off as well! Then FALL is here!

We're Back from vacation!

2008-08-18T08:45:00.000-07:00

Jim and I are back together ON THE AIR after getting some vacation time away with our families. Jim headed to the mountains...while I went to the beach!

Jim and his wife Sharon went on a adventurous road trip in South Central Washington which included lots of camping, hiking and of course a trip to Jim's favorite shopping place...CABELLA'S for some hunting and fishing gear...and Sharon even got to do some shopping too...at some local quilt shops. (Good job, Jim!)

As for me, our family headed to Cannon Beach, Oregon to enjoy a week with good friends in the sand and the sun! We did alot of wakeboarding, BBQs on the beach and lots of Tillamook ice cream! I even learned a new skill...making beaded earrings! Very fun....AND addicting!

Now it's back to work for us!

My daughter Madison goes "On the Air"

2008-08-05T09:14:00.000-07:00

Oh no...another 'talker' in the family. My 10 year old daughter, Madison, really thought I needed some help on the Morning Show since Jim was off on vacation.....so...I told her she would have to get up early...like 4:30 am, help do the weather forecasts AND make my coffee...She said "No problem"....so she is joining me this week! What a joy she is...except now the staff at Praise 106.5 wants her to fill in for ME when I go on vacation next week! Hope you enjoy my protege'.

SUMMER is finally here!

2008-07-14T08:12:00.001-07:00

Both Jim and I have enjoyed the Awesome sunny Northwest weather so far!

Being the outdoorsman that he is, Jim takes any apportunity to go fishing...hiking or doing a little target practice with his Bow and Arrow, which by the way, recently garnered him a 1st place award in the State Archery competition this past weekend! Way to go Jim!

As for me, I've been exploring the area by taking little road trips with my husband, Bob while the kids are at camp. Last week we put the top down on our VW Beetle and took in the breathtaking views on the North Cascades highway. I highly reccomend it! Gorgeous scenery and a Mocha Mint Frappacino...a perfect combo on a sunny summer day!

Both Jim and I are looking forward to the Northwest Washington Fair coming to Lynden, Washington August 11-16 featuring THE NEWSBOYS in concert on Friday, August 15th. Check our website for all the details and ticket information www.Praise1065.com

Celebrating Father's Day!

2008-06-16T12:10:00.000-07:00

Over the weekend Jim and I enjoyed a beautiful SUNNY Father's Day weekend...What a treat!

Both Jim and I lost our fathers years ago...so we celebrated with our own families!

Jim enjoyed some time with his family which now includes a new daughter in law, Aimee! He told me they did the BAR-B-Q thing with a delicious Tri-tip...YUMMY! (I'm sure it came out of the freezer from something Jim and his boys got while hunting last Fall...just a guess!) He also came away with a big giant bag of his favorite snack...Pistachios!

I, on the other hand was excited to finally give my husband something I had been working on while he was out of town...A scrapbook filled with memorabilia from his Running Marathons including his jersey numbers from each race, tons of pictures, ribbons and medals! He had a tear in his eye as he looked through it with the kids! I think I hit a 'homerun' with his gift this year!

Welcome to our new Blog!

2008-06-04T06:23:00.000-07:00

Well we are finally joining the technological masses by blogging what is going on with the Morning Show and our personal lives...This is new for us...but we are excited! Jim will finally get a platform to share his latest hunting and fishing adventures...while Lynette will get to showcase her creative photography!
