~~~~THUNDER AND LIGHTENING...what next?
We are in the throws of quite an unusual storm. Minus 4c yesterday and +15c this morning the rain was pouring from the sky.

As I was watching the weather a magnificent doe came up from over the bank but before I could get the camera ready she was gone. Maybe she thought that things were dryer on the other side?

Till next time...

~~~~ "MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL"~~~~
As you can see Grandson is just '' over the moon" with his and sisters new WII game! It didn't that then long to set it up and have a game with each other. The hooting and hollering is just so funny to hear!

I just think this pic of "Scaredie the cat" under the Christmas. Last year she caused it to fall over. This year they have the tree anchored to the wall and that is a good thing!
I really enjoy viewing the Christmas they have since it is a fiber optic and the effect is so spectacular.
Here is Grandson in one of his silly moments...and there are many!

Till next time...

~~~GETTING HAMMERED

AND

NO BOOZE INVOLVED!

We really got and are still getting blasted by Mother Nature.
I hope to be out of here tomorrow morning....weather permitting!
Enjoy the pix of my neighbour Al, as he cleaned out a wicked drift at the front of my driveway. I will do the rest later.
The other pix were of the back yard...don't you think Mother Nature's artistic abilities are exquisite?

Till next time...

~~~~~BRRRRRR!
I can hear L'll Sis's teeth chattering as she views this pic of her house! Quick, go and jump into that warm pool in Maplewood!

Till next time...

In this pic you can see how the ice is forming on the coast of Lake Huron. As the wind changes the ice will flow either out or be smashed onto the beach. In the top pic you can see some frozen wave action already on the beach. In the bottom left of the pic is the Salt mine. Today was very beautiful but very, very cold...16F.

~~~~~~~~~~HERE YOU HAVE THE"BEFORE AND AFTER!"

It only took me an hour and a half to clean up with the snow blower following yesterdays storm but I fooled around...as in ...doing the neighbours drive and cutting a path down to the "wee bench" which is at the bank and you will see why when I post more pix especially of the lake!

~~~~~ A REAL SURPRISE!~~~~~

I received a Christmas card yesterday from an old colleague and dear friend, Linda.
Little did she know that the little sports car which was on the front of the card is similar
to the one I have put on my "Bucket List"! Maybe she knows something I don't?
I will use the card as part of my display board since I am trying out the "Law of Attraction"!
I may be surprised come the spring time!

Till next time...

~~~~Things are finally slowing down...a little... around here! LOL
My neighbours the Ramps arrived home safely from their long trip to Europe. It was so good to see them. The sad news is one of their two cats "JP"died while they were away and "Cat-Two" is very lonely. I feel sad for the animal because I know what it feels like to loose your best pal!

Our weather is somewhat milder and rain is expected so that might reduce the snow a bit for Christmas! The snow blower is always at the ready...just in case.

Till next time...

~~~~THE FIFTEEN RED ROSES....AND 14 STONES~~~~

Were placed at a memorial tree in our
Court House Park in memory of the 14 young women who were massacred at the hands of Mark Lapine on Dec. 6, 1989.


God Rest Their Souls!

This young woman Jen, is a grade 12 student who was so moved when she learned about the terrible event that happened to those women in Montreal that she has taken on the responsibility of sharing this sad story with her peers at school for past few years.

Till next time...

~~~~Well what a surprise this morning waking up to
15 cm of fresh snow thank goodness my good friend
came for a visit and took care of all that snow....
and more LOL!

Till next time...

~~~~Here are a couple of pix from our visit to the Huron
County Muesum....We had a lovely lunch and a very good visit!

Till next time...

~~~I'm off to the County Museum today which is in our small town!
An old friend called and asked if I'd like to visit the museum and without hesitation we are on our way.
I will try to take some pictures and share the adventurer with you.
My last visit to the museum was with my grands and they really enjoyed it. On that day the temperatures were drastically different since it was July and very hot outside. As I recall we also visited the famous Jail which fascinated both kids. We followed that with a refreshing swim in the lake.
My friend and I won't be swimming today however it is possible since there is the wonderful Rec centre. Today is a rest day for me following a very strenuous and busy week. I am looking forward to enjoying my visit and having a few good laughs etc. LOL!

Till next time...

***"OMG" THE MOVIE

AUSTRALIA***

is and old fashioned EPIC movie...a definite must see for any seasoned movie buff or even a date movie. It has everything in the way of "Gone With The Wind" to "The Wizard Of OZ". You will need to take tissues for sure!!! The acting is exquisite and the scenery spectacular..."I LOVE" that country so much maybe I'll return some day!
I know it will remind L'll Sis of the feel of that red earth between her toes as we gulp down another bottle of water. And I thought Arizona was dry...it's got nothing on OZ!
Now to my drive home and the blustery conditions...yes I hit it full force because I had to stay and read all the credits which follows the movie...it took me a little longer but I made it safely!

till next time...
