Here for one day & an evening at the "farm"...

A monster at my table...
Enjoying PB on toast...
Or Nutella on toast...
Being difficult about a morning picture!
Wearing doll shoes...
Power napping!
Recharged and refueled!
Mmmmm watermelon!
The Sales Lady!
Eva reading a very tired Levi a story.
Levi the Warrior!
Visiting the calves.

Who could say "NO" to this face?

Want a puppy?
Could he look any more lonely?

Or what about this sad, adorable little face?
They can be somewhat docile...or maybe that has something to do with being well fed!
Ok...well, talk to the Dad...he might look a bit scary but he's really just a big baby himself!

Hananoki Restaurant in Clarksville, TN

Recently enjoyed a very tasty supper @ this Japanese Steak House...it was super, so I felt I had to advertise for them! If you are ever in Clarksville, check it out just off Wilma Rudolph Drive.
This...I did NOT eat, simply because there is NOTHING appetizing to me about sushi.
However... I must admit that I liked all of the colours!
Our Chef
Uh, he made a "volcano" out of rings of onion and I'm not sure what else - I guess to entertain us while our food cooked...
It was all good!


It's spring in Clarksville!

My recent trip to Nashville and Clarksville came with the good fortune of enjoying "true" spring a little earlier than at home.
This purple magnolia tree was out front of our hotel.
I had to take a pic of the entire tree to give a bit of a realistic idea of the size of the blossoms.
Hmmm maybe an ornamental crab tree?
Purty huh?
Ya'll come back now, ya hear?
This is the college grounds in Clarksville.

Goodbye snow...

A couple weekends ago...this was the main activity on the back deck.
G'pa and Levi playing hockey.
Then, due to the rain & snow it was time to build a snowman...
Or should I say snowlady...she's certainly got the hourglass figure!
So it began...
Continued...
And not to be caught without a stick in his hand...here comes the inspector!
And finished...the guys putting on the final touches, while one inspector appears to be hugging the snowlady and the other is keeping her distance.
Jr Inspector, checking out the finished product!
Cucumber ends for eyes...a carrot nose of course, and apple slices for her mouth.
Not sure if the bumps on her head are part of her hat? her ears? her hairdo?
And then quite suddenly the Jr Inspector turned on the indoor spectators and began chucking snowballs at us. Fortunately we were behind a protective barrier, because the assailant does not appear to have any remorse...in fact he appears to be laughing!
And lastly, it was off to the races...
Both powered by 1 horsepower motors!
Not sure if it was a race...?

Happy B-day Sister Dear & Happy 10th Anniversary to both of you!!!

The Bride turned 30 again...(about the 5th time).
And also recently...Happy 10th Anniversary to this young couple!

"Wei's" 2nd...

Hockey Birthday to you...
Hockey Birthday to you...Hockey Birthday for Wei...
Who is addicted and two!
Even a few candles for big sis Alyssa to blow out!
She's looking pretty pleased with herself and the smoke is making her dad's workshirt look a bit dirty!
The birthday monkey!
Readin' one of his new hockey books...
Later he decided that no one would leave him alone for long enuf to enjoy his new book, so he took himself off to a corner behind the arm of the couch and sat there alone until he was satisfied that he was done "reading" it!
Hockey...
"I be goalie with the goalie stick..."
...And the next morning...reading the hockey book began again in their pjs!
Fortunately, G'pa showed up and was willing to read the hockey book again!
She just woke up from her nap...can you tell? The big blue eyes are wide open, but she's actually still half asleep! Not so asleep that she couldn't put on her perplexed face...but 1/2 awake regardless. And a little bit of advise...let her wake up entirely on her own...just like her "ant".
Ah yes, and then it was G'ma turn to read the hockey books AGAIN!
There are signs of a serious addiction here...
Fortunately it is just hockey!

Miss Alys' Sunday evening...
Alyssa decided to "read" Stephanie's Ponytail by Robert Munsch to Levi and me.
Judging by Levi's serious expression...it looks like quite the story!
The narrator.."reading" away...her version is close and yet unique.
