Happy Easter

Let Me Show You My Knock Down Move

Now that's a Mallard and this one is......

At Mickey's House

Manatees

Florida Wildlife

We went to Homosassa State Park to see the Manatees, top left. Some of these guys grow up to 3500 pounds. They certainly are big...slow moving and apparently very gentle.

Busy Holiday

Busy, busy,....BlueJays in Dunedin with Argos, 'Pinball'....boating on Lake Harris, a fishfry, pistol shooting at the range, Bike Week in Daytona, (1,000's of bikers), Alun preparing for grandaughters "cow party", and Arnold Palmer Invitational golf at Bay Hill. (no cameras allowed), plus Disney world, (twice), and of course lots of happy hours.

Guess who Won!!!

Tricia's sister, Marie and hubbie George.......snowbirds from Toronto, took us on a cruising casino for the day. I won a thousand quarters so we treated ourselves to barbecued ribs with all the trimmings on the way home.

Our Hosts in Florida

Tricia's brother Alun and "Fancy Nancy Boom Boom" treated us to a lovely stay in their specially decorated and very comfortable "Mickey Room". Nancy, Tricia, and I, all went to the same high school....that's where she got the "Fancy Nancy" nickname. Ian and Mark, two of their three boys, also dropped by to share some of their goings on with us.

Minnie and Mickey Say Hi to All

No Grandkids???

This is probably the first time we have been out, all together, without the little ones....seemed a bit strange, but probably a nice break for the parents. We went for dinner and then to a Broadway show...."The Producers" by Mel Brooks. This was our Christmas present from the parents of the grandkids. The show was great with lots of laughs throughout! Thanks guys!

Future TV Repairmen

Eye to Eye....Jacob and Bailey

Gung Hay Fat Choy

Teo gets all dressed up for the Chinese New Year. Interesting that one of his favourite toys is a little pig and it is the year of the pig. Should be lucky for him....hopefully for all of us.

Happy Valentines Day!!!

He's Picking My Brains

Crocodile or Alligator?

Teo gave us a one year pass to the Vancouver Aquarium for Christmas, so today we had our first visit. It's a good thing this guy was bathing quietly in the sunshine. If he moved suddenly I don't know who would jump the furthest....Tricia or Teo?

Aquarium Stars

Do You Like Snakes?

Sometimes They Sit

Sometimes they sit, but not for long. They now spend most of their time going from one thing to the next...often on the run! And, therefore, keeps the sitter continually on the run as well. Grandma loves the chase.

Holidays Complete

Tricia has completed her jigsaw puzzle so I guess that officially ends the holiday season. Every year she gets a puzzle from Santa and once she starts it becomes a fulltime exercise until she gets it done

Who Would These Guys Be?

Just one hint....picture is 25 years old! 

My Mom and Dad

This picture was taken a few years back....I'm guessing around 1962....some 45 years ago. I think it is, and was, the best picture we ever had of them both together. They were married in 1933, so that would have been about 30 years together at that time. She was Grandma Vi to our kids and Auntie Vi to many others, and he was Grandpa or Uncle Jack. The kids called her Grandma Vi as they had another grandma who they called Grandma Rose....two flowers. 

Yifen and Family

Here we have Weily's sister, Yifen, her husband Gord, and their sons, Sam and Ben. Pictures were taken after an afternoon and lovely dinner at Yoko's.
