the Performers

This is my first attempt at uploading a home video or any other kind for that matter. This one harks back to the silent movies because the photographer didn't turn on the sound recorder. These performers make a lot of noise but not much in the way of lovely tunes - they need more practice.

Something Different

I was just looking at my recent posts and decided it was time for a change -

I really don't have any new pictures because at this moment the memory card in the camera is full and I have to figure out how to get it cleaned up so I can take some more pictures.

This shot of Abby is just so you can all see that the dog is still part of our lives - she isn't very active anymore but she lets us know what she wants. She enjoys eating snow - may be she thinks it is "ice cream".

Playing in the Snow

Sat. morning was a lovely crisp winter day. A grandson wanted to play with Opa & Oma. Daddy went along also.

Top picture Mr. T. is King of the Mountain in his front yard while we were waiting for Daddy to get ready to go.

At McIvor park just a few blocks from M. &C.'s house there is this lovely toboggan slide and it wasn't even very busy on such a nice morning.

Second picture - Opa and Mr. T. are at the top ready to go.

Third picture - having fun whizzing down so fast.

Fourth picture Daddy joins Mr. T. & Opa and they go even further. I see this photo got lost.

Next you see Mr. T. running back up to the slide to do it some more and some more - he always let Opa pull the toboggan back up.

In the sixth & seventh pictures Opa and Mr. T. are spinning out on the ice rink and have loads of fun. We spent about one and a half hours in the park and Oma watched and took pictures.

Then we went to a place to eat our brunch - the guys all had breakfast items but oma had soup & a sandwich.

Back at M. & C.'s house there was a lot of work to do on the Quinzee. Mark & Andrew had piled up this large heap of snow in the back yard over several weeks. Some of it had been dug out already but there was much more digging to do so Opa, Mark & Mr. T. went to work on it. Finally it was enough hollowed out that Opa, Oma & Mr. T. got inside to rest. M. took that picture on his camera and i don't have a digital copy of it yet.

Remember to double click the photos as you will then see everything more clearly.

This beautiful amaryllis was blooming in my house in the spring of 2007 when we got our first digital camera. I have no idea if the bulb that hasn't started to shoot up yet is the one that dates back to that spring. A lovely stripped red & cream one is just about finished blooming now.

My pictures are in a one on going file so this is the fourth picture.

Rules: Go to your forth picture file and post a picture and a story to go with it on your blog or FB.
