Oh, Canada...at the Lake of the Woods...

Harbour View
Harbour Front
My future summer home...
Ahhhhhhhhh....got canoe?

Do, Due, Dew...

Ok...so this is ONE small advantage (possibly one of the ONLY bonuses)

to getting up before 10am.

You get to see the dew before it is burned off and vanishes.

It was pretty incredible close up...every blade had a drop...kind of makes you appreciate the view of the lady bug!

A "B" day...

Just another storm on it's way...fortunately it whizzed past.

A tornado past by the night before dropping "good sized" hail here, and touched down a 1/2 hour away causing some pretty extensive damage.
The mattress movers.
One of our helpers...
And another...
Proof that they "helped".
A DQ treat to follow...

The finished product...

The pictures explain the rest...

Who couldn't happily spend a sunny afternoon here?

32 = Park + Ice Cream Treats - Winter Blues

Buick? Pontiac? Argh...who can remember?

Let's make it simpler...long...white...convertible...perfect for pictures.
Yep...they play football.
A very serious moment.
A perfect fit.

A guy behind the idea...
A common & typical stance.
The reason you don't see the ladies doing anything is because we didn't!

In fact at this moment it looks like it was just Dw and T doing anything.

Happy Day...

For Dads...
And Moms...
And...for happy couples!

THANK YOU - MPIC!!

Finally...
Can you see what this is????

I finally got the cheque that I have been waiting for...

AND thankfully it has been wisely ruled in my favour...

(see blog entry - Saturday, February 10th)

So...100% refund cheque.

Whoo HOO! One more victory for honesty!

Work Day - Bee Day #1

Getting bigger - now just a chin higher than the lunch table...
I found a "weaf"!
"Hmmm where to run next?"
He might be just one, but he will try and successfully say many words...
You can guess what word he said here.

A Little "Wobber's" Birthday Party

The birthday boy - Spencer w/ the young ladies (Halle, Hannah, Amy and Emily) on the trampoline. Spencer and Hannah are agreed that they should marry. I'm kind of hoping that they can avoid some of the scrapping before they get married. Spence has realized that since married people must "cooperate", then both he and Hannah are obligated to be "wobbers" - since that's what he wants to be when he gets "big". Makes me remember that his big brother wanted to be a spider when he grew up!

The Party Goers - Emily, Wendy, Eva, Heidi, and Spencer.
Emily said, "You don't scratch me ok, kitty? And you just lay right here while I play for a minute and then I will come right back here, ok kitty?" Kitty was listening!
