Not to worry, we will have Indian Summer before the snow flies. I spent almost $2000.00 for my snowblower and I would be disappointed if I didn't get to use it each winter.

We get used to the cold up here, but we also count down the days to Spring, and when we can put the dog teams away.

Cheers,

Jim

Hey folks, here's the latest photo of Tanner, my new grandson, as I showed him off in the village Friday.

Cheers,

Rev. Dr. Grandpa

Oh, Reverend Dr. Jim, he's so beautiful! So utterly beautiful! Thank you for showing us!

I want to pay tribute to one of the greatest singers of this or any generation, who died early this morning from pancreatic cancer; Luciano Pavarotti.

I cherish the memory of his singing in many genres. He was at home singing with his colleagues and he was at home singing with Bryan Adams. What a vocal genius.

Cheers, and thank you, Senor,

Jim

Yes, I had a hard time that day. It was so strange. I never was enamored with the Beatles or Elvis, or the Rolling Stones, etc. But for some reason I had a hard time when I heard that Luciano had passed away.

I grieved. I am still grieving. Funny how you don't know how deeply something will affect you.

Here he is again, folks....He is wearing a bonnet and blanket crocheted by a friend of Sheila's in Wales. This is the cradle I made just before he was born.

Cheers,

Jim

And thanks for all the fine comments...I am a little attached to him.

Both beautiful Jim.
Not all of Canada is cold this time of year. We are getting some very nice sunny weather with temps in the mid to upper 20's. Jan

What a fine, handsome baby!
And lovely crochet work...
That cradle is handsome as well, Dr. Jim. You have a gift!

How good that we all can celebrate with you. Thank you for sharing!

 

[gratefulgrace]

Wow so cute it is fun just to look at him. I remember enjoying my children so much... especially when they angelically asleep. lol Jan

 

[Jim1927]

We get to babysit one day a week, and this wek we get the pleasure of having him overnight on Saturday whilst daughter goes duck hunting. It is not a chore, but a blessing for us.

This is the mother who said that no one would get her baby for the first year, and barely a month has passed....lol.

Love it!

Cheers,

Jim

I think new moms realize that to do the best job possible for the children some time for themselves is a must. My sister left at 5 am to drive 13 hours back home, my niece is off on the island to visit her dad and one son is on his way to Portland for a business trip. It is his first so he is excited and it is to cover soccer so it has to be all good right? Hubby has soccer coaching all day and then may head up the coast and stay overnight to help a friend with his cabin renovations. That will just leave three of us left at home so will make for a quiet day. I am looking forward to it although it was wonderful having my sister here as it had been about 3 years since we had seen each other. Jan

A good morning here. We found a neigbours dog which had been lost overnight. Its chain was wrapped around a tree in the back woods. I could hear it whimpering in the night, but it was too dark and raining hard to go out. Good reason not to tie dogs up on long chains!

Cheers,

Jim

 

[davedajobauk]

oh yes
that they can get caught up
to strangle a limb/ hang themselves
all in a 'panic'


dave

tethering animals (dogs) in this way
should be ONLY TEMPORARY and they should not be left unattended in such restraint
there are More-Appropriate [humane] means of, containment

 

[gratefulgrace]

I am glad you rescued him in time jim. He must have broken free and gone on a ramble. Poor thing. I am glad my dogs can run free in our yard. Jan

 

[Jim1927]

Yea--nice aren't they. I'll use the furnace till it gets in the 30's then the wood stove comes out of hibernation.

 

[gratefulgrace]

We are still very balmy here. Thought the weather might be turning this am as it was very overcast but cleared nicely aroung 3pm lots of late sun. If outside I would want a sweater but all and all pretty nice.

 

[Jim1927]

Wot's with the weird green????

Hello to the few who may enter here. I don't see much else to keep me.........

Cheerio,

Jim

 

[gratefulgrace]

Yea the green kind of got to me a bit too I found it initiallly hard to read but am getting used to it. Well weather wise our rain has kicked in today. The roads were very slippery always are after a long dry spell then rain. Just got home from church as we had a church chat meeting after service. I am going for my nap time now. Jan

It relates to the cross icon. If you notice under your log in name and stats there are a few other small thumbnails of other logos that can be chosen. I at the moment have the waves with a much more restful grey/blue colour for the lines and stuff. Variety is the spice of life I guess. Maybe these are the top 4 chosen or something. Jan

 

[Jim1927]

That's better, Jan,,Thank you.

Cheers,

Jim
