Ode to Beloved Fur Kids I could not protect you Not from the speeding car Or the searing pain Or the length of time You were a charm A note of beauty Charging me with love And sharing every day... All three of you are gone And though I have mourned And though our home is full again I yearn for you Some days, the haunting loss Nearly knocks me over Knees buckle, chest aches And the dreams...

     Drum It With Brummet's Hand Drum Circles  November 25th (Tuesday)  7 PM - 9  PM (Pacific) This  2-hour e vent is held monthly, and is for all skill levels and are a lot of fun for ages 15 -80. Bring your own drum, or percussive instrument, but  if you do not have a drum - let us know as we do have a limited supply that we are able to let participants use for events like this.   Drum Circle  participants simply "play” at making music with a variety of drums and percussion instruments.

Held in a beautiful setting in Downtown Creston, BC - this specially designed music room features large, soft, padde...
