A bit of the aftermath.....which we did NOT clean up today - we just layed around all day

Day 356.....Boxing Day


One of the best gifts of the day......matching Tshirts for Andrew and Kaden. "Tool" is how Kaden says 'cool'

Day 355....Christmas Day


Of course, there are tons of photos to choose from for Christmas Day....too many, so we go with the candles.

Day 354.....Christmas Eve


I took no photos Christmas Eve....too busy. This is from Christmas morning...taken by Dan, on my camera. A beautiful, frosty morning.

Day 349....Saturday, Dec 19


One of the best things about this season is the beautiful lights decorating homes.

Day 348....Friday, Dec 18


This guy waddled across the road in front of me......it took me awhile to pull my camera out and get a shot off so I almost missed him.

DAY 342....Saturday, Dec 12


This is the south wall of what used to be Poplar Books. I was parked right in front of the now empty space (it burned down a couple years ago) so I took a photo of the old painted-on sign for a grocery store called 'Foodland'. The grocery would have been in the building on whose side the sign was painted.....now housing several businesses - including Melanie's shop, 'Nailzz by Mel'.

Day 341. Friday. Dec 11



The only photos I took of Vinj and Kath getting ready to leave for their European Vacation were of Seth playing on the couch and of Taliah getting Seth's loving. Here, he was tickling her and making her laugh then giving her a kiss.

Day 340 Dec 10 thursday


Our new bathroom clock.

Day 339. Wednesday, Dec 9


This is Dan, leaving for work. Notice where he carries his water bottle?

Day 338. Tuesday. Dec 8


sorry about the poor quality photo.....new shelves in the laundry room which I was working in today.

Day 237...Monday, Dec 7


In FULL SUN, this is the temp this morning......which is wrong, of course, since the sun is shining on the thermostat.

Day 326. Sunday, Dec 6


Snowed in.
I cannot get out, no one can get in.
No baby shower today.
Andrew and Daniel came and used the tractor to 'plow' us out.

Day 325. Saturday, Dec 5


The wind does some weird things with snow.

Day 324. Friday. December 4


Jim unexpectedly had a day off....waiting for cement to harden. So, in spite of a blizzard, we went into town to do some shopping for him - he needed long underwear and insulated coveralls - as well as quick visits with some of the kids.

Day 323 - Dec 3, Thursday


Stopped to pick up an order at the local Scrapbooking store to find it is going out of business at that location. They will be selling exclusively online at www.myscrapbookingheaven.com beginning next month. Of course, everything is on sale. Here is what I came home with.....pretty good example of restraint, if you ask me. Of course, I did not venture past the checkout counter - these pens were at the counter.

Day 322. Wednesday Dec 2


The book I am reading today,...it is good and I'm getting through it very quickly.

Day 321. Tuesday, December 1


The snow that fell yesterday made my trip to Edmonton today a little 'iffy'. The gravel and the secondary hiways were very icy but the main highways were OK.
FYI....I take a friend to 'the Cross' for radiation treatment on Tuesdays.

Day 319. Monday, November 30


Daniel has a job! He is working with his Uncle Ken. Notice his jeans have begun to look like Uncle Ken's jeans......more white drywalling mud than denim. LOL. Here, Dan is making his lunch for the day.

DAy 319....Sunday, November 29


No, I did not take this photo....but it is representative of our activity for the day - Jim and I spent the evening and night at Mom and Dad H's - I watched the Grey Cup game with them (Jim was still at work) and shared the disappointment of most of the population of Alberta and Saskatchewan when our team lost.

Day 318 - Saturday, November 28


Drawing is one of the main activities that the girls enjoy every day. Being at Gramma's house does not change that. Here is one of Emma's drawings from her visit.

Day 317. Friday. November 27


The little girls stayed overnight with me tonight so their parents could work hard, packing, moving, and cleaning....transferring their home from the duplex to Andrew's house.

Day 316. November 26. Thursday


This photo is from yesterday...I didn't take any pictures today (oops). Still, a cute photo of Kath and Seth
