Birthday Memory


I have a winter birthday... so I'm always looking for fun INDOOR things to do with EVERYONE in the family.


Last year, we all went 5-pin bowling together... It was fun (though I scored very poorly)! I haven't bowled in decades! Every time it was my turn, I asked my grandson to roll my first ball using this dinosaur helper. That way I always got at least one pin down!


Terry and the other adults did really well! I was on the kids' team - and my grandkids were better than me! Never mind! We all had fun!

After that we headed to the community pool to watch Ivy have her swimming lesson.


Then - dinner out... and ice cream cake for dessert!


A beautiful, joyful day! 

Family, fun and food make for a wonderful celebration - anytime - not just on birthdays!

Winter Masterpieces


As winter disappears, making way for spring...


I want to remember the beauty of this past winter's gifts...


Amazing snow sculptures - created by blowing wind in "just the right" sticky conditions...


And giant icicles created by freeze and thaw - and an uninsulated roof!

Beautiful - and sometimes dangerous - art!


But my favourite winter "art" is colourful sky - when it surprises me at dawn and dusk... in an otherwise drab-coloured world.

Astounding beauty that feeds my soul!
