Auto Anticipation...

Alas the car shopping bug has bitten again...
So, what to get? A Silver Suzuki Grand Viterra?

Or black?

Or an AWD Suzuki SX4?

Or what about a Kia Soul?

NOT in white though - white is horrid!

A very neat looking option and available in AWD!

And...it has the most creative options on the interior...definitely w/ my gender in mind...

Or a Silver Pontiac Vibe AWD?

Or Black??

Or less practically a Mitsubishi Eclipse...in Black? Silver? Red? Orange?

So many options...

Black is nice!

Or of course there's always Yellow!

Nope!

Ha...or what about this purple machine?

Just what I always needed!

Why on earth do I like automotives so much?!

I think...

My blog is broken,

my blog is dead!

And I keep hopin'

that it'll work instead!

In "help" I went pokin'

But it only fed,

My temper's that's a smokin'

I guess I'll go to bed!

Blogger.com help people...help me...

Another Day @ the Farm...

Eva, Hannah & I went for a quick tour of the farm babies...
This poor calf was petrified by our Good Friday visit!

And then we played with the Tosa babies...

And here they are feeding the pups little bits of puppy chow - 1 piece at a time!

Awww!

When a child is born in your friends' hearts...

The sweetest thing...Master Zachery!

Who already fits the outfit I sent him!
I love his perky hair & wish he lived a whole lot closer!

The shirt says it all...these sweet little things never come with a manual!

Two of my little pals...

Big brother Jonathan
And his sweet little brother Daniel...
Who I got to have Sunday lunch with a few weeks ago - Thanks to Julie & Richard!

Happy 3rd Birthday Levi!

Yes...Levi is "FREE" already!
As you can see...he was pretty happy to be three and to have a racing themed "Lightning McQueen" birthday party!

And gifts of hockey figurines, monster trucks, puzzles...

and a HOCKEY sweatshirt...
and help unwrapping from Big Sis Alyssa...

Tickled by his Dad, etc!

Lys was excited that I was sleeping all weekend in HER bed...so this is the little princess from her cozy spot on the foam couch bed...she also gave me the biggest guilt trip when I left because as she said...
"You only stayed two sleeps! Just TWO...and that's not very many...I wanted you to stay longer because you haven't come to our house for a very long time...and, and...and now, it's going to be a very very long time again before you come and that makes me very SAD!"

(Picture her sweet, big, sad, blue doe eyes gazing at me here while awaiting my reponse!)

Too cute!!

The Birthday Boy chatting w/ Auntie Lacey...I should've got a video!

Getting ready for spring on his new RED bike...with a little help from G'ma!

Miss Rosy in their playhouse...

Double Trouble hanging out on their front porch railing...

On video they could easily be heard chanting, "This is our house!...This is our house!..."And not to be outdone...she could be heard chanting the same song & words of course...

Posin' with our great, big, huge snow man!

Levi helped us find his "hair" and Lyssa took care of the buttons!

Another cake! Party Animal!

Gleefully giggling w/ a little help from Dad to hold it...

Grrrrrrrrrrr again!!!!!!

Winter Park Boat Tour

This 1 hr inexpensive boat cruise took us through the canals to a few different lakes, past many charming old & new boat houses, and many a mansion...
Rows of docks & boat houses...

This was going through one of the canals, past a boat garage on the left and out onto another lake...

Who couldn't spend the afternoon here with some iced tea, good company & a good book - or all alone for that matter!...

We had our own private tour & this was our friendly retired tour guide from Minnesota...I don't blame him for spending the winters here at all!

An old boathouse...

A beautiful house that was built all around this point & designed so that every single room in the house has a view of the lake!

Another old boat house with great ivy...

Back in the canals...

The kayaker that we ran over...no actually he got out of our way, but the guys in the canoe ahead of him were struggling and actually asked us to run over them with the pontoon boat and put them out of their misery! We didn't.

Another tiny house...

A lone tree...in the middle of the lake...with red xmas balls!
