2008 update

I am just cleaning up my camera in preparation for the festivities tomorrow night. Thought I'd drop a couple of pictures here before the year is over. Since I have not been a good girl in getting a Christmas photo out to ya'll here are my kidlets. See you in about 15 hours.

Chef Al

Here's a little appie Al invented at Oysterfest.

In about 3 weeks she wont want to come back.

Opa - We Love You

Today we think of Opa and reflect back on the many years that we were able to share time with him ... the times that you came to help lay bricks, split firewood, visit with Jake on Saturday's in the greenhouse, etc. We also think of Oma today and appreciate everyone who has surrounded her with love this past year - her family, Tante Jane, Pastor Sid, and her new group of friends! We love you both - God bless.

Brotherly Love..

I was shuffling through my videos trying to find
something meaningful to post at this time of year..
Getting together as brothers once in a while to relax
and have a good time was something Dad really
enjoyed. We all have been blessed with his humour.
So, you all know where it came from..
(Warning.. some mature content)

Gone fishing

Time really flies when you're having fun.

"Bucket of oysters and a couple warm beers"

I still remember that day fishing with Dad in Toquart and the trouble I had with the old motor, eventually I did get him going! It was a great day and I know he is out there, somewhere enjoying another. Like all of us, we remember Dad in many special ways.
We love you Dad and do miss you.

Tribute to Dad

Wednesday, December 10

Meet at cemetery at 4:45 with candles for your family. Potluck dinner to follow at Oma's at 5:45. See you then.

Get Together

Hi Everyone - Just wondering if those of us close to Port would like to get together on the 10th to remember dad. I was thinking we could meet at the graveside at around 4:30 for a few moments and then go over to mom's for a potluck dinner? Whaddyathink? (If you are in - maybe write in your response what you'll bring.) Have a great week!
