Needs up-dating

When was the last time you up-dated the birthdays on the right???? I think the list is incomplete.

The SK Roughriders won the Grey Cup.

Anybody want to bid on the Plate Auction sponsored by the Crowsnest Pass Chamber of Commerce? It's happening Sunday, December 2, 2007 in the Stone's Throw Cafe from 3-6pm, I believe the hours are. Twelve celebs painted the dozen plates up for auction, including Jessica as one of the celebs. The mayor was booked to paint but didn't show. I guess he was polishing one of his vintage automobiles parked alongside his corner home.

The SK Roughriders won the Grey Cup beating out the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

The motion light jus came on next door. I wonder what walked down the back lane. I was too late checking it out.

It showed me there's a skiff of snow on the car. The helicopters keep patrolling. We think it's because there's no snow cover and you see just brown mountain meadows.

Yesterday when I walked the dog, we saw 7 big horn sheep across the Crowsnest River from us. The dog kept taking a look. I phoned a message to the Road Watch Program so someone could come and scare them up into the mountains. They were on the west end of the base of Goat Mt.

Well, it's bed time.

Did I tell you the SK Roughriders won the Grey Cup? When the team got back to Regina mid afternoon today, there were 15,000 fans on the football field and the temp was minus 31 with the windchill factored in. Oh, gawd!! I can just imagine the cold hands and feet in that crowd.

Had a really nice little vacation































Here are just a few of our 330 shots from our vacation. We had a great time, spent most of the time in the shade with the boy. he was not very happy about the sand at first, but slowly warmed up to it after about 4 days or so. The ocean.... that's another story! He first screamed his head off then pretty much just shut down. We had a little floaty thing for him with little holes for his legs. He would just hold the handle of it and not move a muscle! I think he was petrified!
Here's to many more posts on the family Blogger!

Some Plant Photos



So here's the challenge. I have no idea what kind of plant this is. It provided me with a seed a couple of weeks ago, I'm hoping to get a couple more, which I planted today. Perhaps I can grow another giant from the seed. This plant started out as a five or six inch, $0.99 potted plant from Ikea. The lower image is a shot of the flower.


Above is a nice photo of the flower on the Ginger plant. When it has bloomed the flowers are almost like tiny violets. I'll take another photo once it blooms.
