~~~"TAKE HEART"...Only 8 weeks of winter left~~~

I don't know where the time has gone during this winter season!

I am truly thankful for all my wonderful friends that have enriched me and kept me grounded enough to enjoy this wintry experience. I won't mention any names...you know who you are!

The scenery around my home is so beautiful that at times it takes my breath away.
Enough of my blubbering...Enjoy your day!

Till next time...

~~~JANUARY 18, 2005...WAS HIS LAST DAY !

It is hard to believe that it has been FOUR years since DOUG passed.
I still miss him so much that it hurts some days.

Today I ventured to the "wee bench" flopped down in the snow and made a
"Snow Angel" for him.
I felt like a little kid and loved the experience.

Say a little pray as you think of him...he was such a GREAT GUY!

Till next time...

~~~Beware of Storm~~~~
As usual I checked the radar online before setting out to do my work out and pickup a few groceries. It indicated a large storm mess headed our way but I knew I would have enough time to complete everything.
Part way through my venture I popped into Walmart to check out a few items and much to my surprise....where were all the people ??? At 2pm on a Sat. afternoon you would figure the place would be crowded but it wasn't.
Then I began to think...ah, they too had check the radar and had enough sense to stay home.
The snow had started and some of the roads were slick but I made it home ok. Today...yup, you guessed it I'll be romancing the snow blower following the wonderful coverage of all the Obama events this morning.

Till next time...

~~~~~~LONG AGO AND FAR AWAY~~~~

Memories, wonderful memories!!!!

Till next time...

~~~CALL THIS BLOGGER THE "CRAZY CANUK"!!!

Yes do it, shake your head or shake your finger or anything else
Y'all know by now that when I take a notion for an adventure...I'm gone!!!

I accepted an invitation to visit a friend for New Years and the location was 689 km or 344 miles from my home.

The area is in the beautiful province of Quebec on Lake
Temiscaming which is a very long lake and is the head waters of the Ottawa River. The settlement is across the lake form a place in Ontario called Cobalt and New Liskeard is just 1/2 hr. north.

We took time to visit the area and all the small bays which are hidden along the lake.

The following are some of the pix I took of the trip.

Cousin Mike....get the map out you will be amazed!!!

Till next time...

All Creatures Great and Small enjoying a
New Years Eve dinner. The nocturnal "flying Squirrel",
"Goo" the stray cat and the beautiful Salmon dish that the
humans had.
