Where it all began

A day trip to celebrate our 42nd anniversary.

pals

Little Paprika snuggled in to Sage's kennel. I left them that way for the night. 2 cute little noses waiting at the kennel door in the morning.

furnace kicks in

Claire chillin again
I'm the only one not complaining about the cool rainy summer. I like it cool.

Hasn't lost his touch

Kind of proud of my 70 year old hubby performing a funeral for a 90 year old woman.

Chiropractor appointment

What's a few good knocks when you're already in pain?

Petting zoo fun

First try at uploading on my new computer.
The tin cows were more interesting than the real ones.

During the night when I wasn't asleep, I thought of something bright and witty to write on my blog. YUP of course I forgot what it was.

Life doesn't slow down

So much fun and energy with 3 little girls and holding Simon plus 2 dogs that need my attention.

Precious times

Spent valuable time with Emmauelle in the church nursery. I rocked her until she calmed down. Precious time too,as I looked in to James (the Priest) eyes and said "Amen" with him as he said a blessing over Simon.

smoke days

We are breathing in B.C.'s forest fire smoke. Reminders of 2003, and living in Ashcroft, BC

Elderly woes

I am slowly learning a new computer system so have not been able to blog.

TWINS

I remember the days when I thought it would be cool to have twins. Well now I have them. Pixie-Sage arrived today and Paprika is a little puzzled and having to learn her place. They're good girls. I need to find the schedule in it all to make sure each one gets attention. What fun.

Thunder storm

A dog who is scared of thunder is sleeping on my bed. I'm surprised she isn't under the bed.

OUCH

I Remember the days when I stepped on LEGO pieces in the shag carpet. Now, it's puppy kibbles. Many similarities: small, multi-colored, hidden and the same "bad word" that comes to mind.

A husband of value

My ever helpful husband just installed a doggie door. Much appreciated

Marian and Carolyn

Bob got the windows washed before his 2 sisters arrived. It's something about big sisters coming for a visit..

Michelle's garden

Fresh beans, carrots, zucchini, parsley and basil with butter. That's how Mom made it...oh and fresh potatoes and savory.

hot trip

I'm Hot...the sweaty, shiny kind.

Remembering how we used to drive in summer before a/c...with the windows down. Only we weren't going 110 kms/hour on a paved road. It was gravel and dust.
Today Michelle and I took a trip to Calgary to see the Mohogany housing community.

Eagle cloud

"They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings as eagles." Teach me Lord to wait.

treasures of time and my life

It was a privilege to celebrate the birthday of my one and only daughter. What an inspiratiojn she has been to me.

Emmanuelle, Emmeline and Claire

Can anything be cuter than 3 little girls swinging...laughing and giggling. They really love each other.

T-Storm comfort

Yup I baked him a pie

So many thunderstorms lately. I still love those strong arms around me :}.

Heartfelt emotion

What do I do when a little girl cries, "Nana stay."
