Best Kahshe Advice
Favourite Lake Memory
During my cousin's annual Kahshe visit, the adults would hold a “Boyd Island Blueberry Picking Contest," awarding money to the kid who picked the most blueberries in a set amount of time. There were prizes for 1st and 2nd place. It was a whole afternoon affair and competitive energy ran high between us all. My littlest cousin ended up spilling his blueberries twice before the final bell. Not did he only lose his marbles, but he lost the competition. I had never felt more sorry for another human being in my teenage life. The saddest (yet best) thing, is that it's all caught on video!
Social and influencing with a need to interact with others.
