I was just thinking.....

Hopefully everyone is working on a little speech for Oma this weekend.
I have been wracking my brains for a word that rhymes with widiot?
Hey, did you know that Jim rhymes with Wim, cool eh?
Aliza is making the agenda so I challenge everyone to participate,
and let's surprise her with maybe a mobflash or sumtin' like...

"In church Wim's eyes met a miss..
fireworks witness loves first kiss ..
and on a nursery west of niagra,
without any viagra
the cry went out, oh alice!"

hey , I know you can do better.... let's do it!!

happy birthday to the prairie girl

happy 37th birthday treena!

toast to you !!

happy birthday Allan !

Happy Birthday to you!

Legend has, he's a florist from Langley
was he happy and gay or un manly ?
Ever a big smile on his face
oblivi-ous his disgrace
all knew that his stem was just dangley

Happy Big 46 !!!!

Lantzville Living

Willem had a pic of Arrowsmith on the blog awhile back - here is

what it looks like from the beach here in Lantzville.

Here's one of our newest additions. Sam's bunny was supposed to be a male - guess not. The sheep are due in February and Treena in early June.

Another Picture of Jake and His "Girls"

A bag of Layer Pellets ...... $12.50

A dozen eggs ...................... $3.50
A day to "fly the coop" ..... Priceless

Jake let his "fine feathered friends" out of the coop today for a day of freedom to run around the yard. They sure did have a great time - finding worms, rolling in the sand, scratching under the leaves, and more. It was fun just to watch them!

Miss Kiara - the "N"ew Driver in Town

Watch out! ... there is a "N"ew driver on the streets ... Kiara passed her road test last week ... yahoo! She can now do errands all by herself - wow! She even has her own set of car keys now. We are proud of you Kiara!

It's Still Winter - Brrr

I made the previous picture too small and I don't know how to make adjustments once I have sent it to post, so here is the picture again. Jake and two of his lovely daughters - collecting wood for the Winter!

Winter 2011 - Keeping Warm and Cosy

Seattle Garden/Freak Show 2011

Hey garden freaks, I am planning to go a day or two the week of
Feb 23-27 to Seattle to see the garden show!
Some have come in the past to indulge their 'forced flower fantasies"!
Just giving a heads up if anyone wants to come along and share the journey?

So your 75...Lets Celebrate!

Mom would like to invite everyone to celebrate her 75th Birthday together on Feb. 5 2010. The event will take place in the Pacific Rim Room at the Casino at 6:00 pm. Because it is held at the Casino the age requirement is 19. There will be lots of babysitting available for the little ones and my house for the older ones to hang out at. So lets get creative everyone, stories songs, cartoons, skits or pictures to commemorate this special occasion. Can't wait to see everyone!

Willem's photography

It may not be Whistler, but it is still beautiful covered in snow.


Here is some winter art work from Willem.


The leaves in our backyard inspired Willem to take a picture of our "Paris" back patio.
