The Bridge

It's been a long time since I put anything here. And then my good friend Pete Hommersen posted this on FB.

Samuel's Turtles

At Samuel De Champlain Provincial Park, there is a dock around which there are about 5 large turtles eager to eat your food offering or your finger!!

Brain Protection During Focussed Thought

Micah and Elizabeth stayed over at our house last night. As noted in some earlier posts, this ball (which Aaron ripped apart with his bare hands), serves well as "Brain Protection".

Micah reminded us that this unit was his, but that it could stay at our house for use whenever needed.

1983 to 2009, Trailer for Sale or Rent

Back in 1983 or 1984 we bought a 'Trunk Mate' to assist us in carrying our stuff for our annual trips from Regina, Sask. to Hamilton, Ont., and for camping. The Trunk Mate served us well till around 1994 when we bought the Coachmen CO 230 "tent trailer". Once Aaron and Meghan moved into 1036, the Trunk Mate slowly found its home with them and they took it over as a yard waste transporter.

It's been through a number of repairs and paint jobs, but eventually after 26 years of service, it seems ready to retirement.

We thought about restoring it for renewed use with camping, but as partially shown in the photos, and for a number of other carefully thought through considerations, we think it's time for a new utility trailer.

So we found a replacement! This fine unit will help Aaron & Meghan with camping and hauling stuff, just like the Trunk Mate helped us.

Priorities

 

On our way home from camping in the Alleghany Forest, we came past a family with an intersting set of priorities.

Family Gathering

 

We had an opportunity to enjoy dinner at Wayne and Carmen's home. We were in town to visit mom.

Following Micah's Victoria Day Hair Cut by Oma, Elizabeth took it upon herself to clean up! This clip shows only a fraction of the work she did.

Micah can do laps for hours-- can you?

Franceen's Birthday Cakes--wonders to behold

I grabbed these shots from the video taken at Elizabeth's and Nathanael's birthday. They look good and they taste good! Thanks Franceen. Your cakes always make the occasion even more special!

When Two Women Get Together ...

Elizabeth was over for an hour the other day. There was a new book with stickers and so on, that needed to be figured out. Beginning with the initial review and assessment, the following progression tells the story.

Software of Note (Free Stuff I use)

I've started a new list and called it Software of Note (Free Stuff I Use). As I come across stuff I think is cool & helpful and end up using it myself, I'll include it in the list.

That doesn't mean I'm an expert on any of the software, but I'm willing to chat about application and challenges or tips if you end up using an app yourself.

Everyone Knows About This ...

Likely, I'm the last person to discover this. But just in case .... here's a way to search through blogs
