Christmas Cactus



Our Christmas Cactus flowered a couple of weeks late but sure produces a pretty flower!!! The cactus is quite young, a gift from Yoko in 2006, and this was it's only flower this year.

Signing the Olympic Oval Roof



Jacob and Teo signed there names on the Olympic Oval Roof today. The skating oval for the 2010 games is under construction in Richmond and this weekend they invited everyone to sign their names on the roof and hopefully provide good luck to the competing Canadian Atheletes....GOOD LUCK!!!

Actually they had the last panel to be placed on the roof down at city hall for the signings...ie.we weren't actually up on the roof.

1.4 Million Lights



Tonight we went to view the beautiful light display at the VanDusen Gardens in Vancouver. The lights provided quite an impressive display but I think Teo and Jacob had more fun being transported around. There were 1.4 Million lights but as you can see, the boys were only interested in the one light that they could touch.

Teo's School Bus



Try to imagine a room full of two year olds, five days a week, as your choice of employment. Congrats to the girls who run these Day Care Centres!!! Photographer did a pretty good job of getting them all to stand still for the picture.

Merry Christmas!!!



This Santa Claus was my Mom and Dad's for several years and then we inherited it. We're thinking it is about 50 years old and he comes out every Christmas just like the real guy. He's one of those Christmas decorations that just lasts and lasts....no batteries! (I hope no one is offended by the "HoHoHo" cheer he is spreading)

This is a short account of that trip.

Teo's Birthday



Poor little Teo was sick on his birthday, so he never got his cake, the family dinner party was "eat when you can", his Birthday parties were re-scheduled and canceled twice. All who attended the family Birthday dinner came down with the flu and I guess in a way could say they shared in Teo's un-Happy Birthday!!! As shown in the photo he did get to open his presents along the way and all are well now!

My Sister the "Artist"



My sister Dorothy lived in Milton, Ontario and spent a good part of her time painting and helping others to learn some of the techniques she worked well with. She painted this beautifull "tall ship" oil painting for me and unfortuanately the photo does very little to show the excellence that it is. Dorothy passed away last week but being an artist, her paintings will remain with many family and friends as a reminder of her forever.

When I Was on Tour with the Band!!



Actually this was one of the more extreme activities I ever took part in as the Sales Manager for our company...but boy did we have fun and I think all the staff enjoyed it as well. I sang special sales orientated lyrics to the tune of "Hey Jude".

Over 80,000 Snow Geese are arriving from Russia. Of course the picture doesn't do it justise but yesterday the skies were full of them and some of the local fields appeared to be covered in white. The noise is something else also.
