FLASHBACK PICTURE(S)

This picture was taken in 1916, it is of my grandpa.


























Site of the Week

I came across this blog awhile ago, but just became a member a month ago.

I have been collecting postcards since before I was married, so over 30 years ago, I never dreamed there would be a place where I could share my postcards, with other postcard lovers. I also receive cards from all over the world, this also satisfies my other hobby, stamp collecting. So if you like receiving postcards why not join in the fun.

Here are some postcards I have received so far, from all over the world.

These are from Japan, China (Olympics), Russia, USA.

Here are the stamps from the postcards.

Pretty neat, ah.

Better go, I hope you have a good day.

Camera Critters

 

This is Wilson who loved being on top of this bookcase, he liked to hide under the fern.

Wilson was adopted from the Humane Society, he is such a wonderful pet.

Skywatch & Postcard Friendly Friday

This picture was taken in Oregon, The Pacific Ocean.


This is a "Resort" we stayed in when I was a teenager, I don't remember it being quite like the picture, but I do remember having a good time with the family. I might make this a weekly feature. If you have a postcard to share, just leave a comment and I will post it.

Has It Really Been That Long

Well here it is Feb. 2010 and this is my first entry of the year.
I love to blog hop and see all the beautiful blogs out there, and in a sense go visiting around the world. There are so many different interesting blogs and so many wonderful bloggers who really care about God, their families, their environment, who are willing to share their stories, crafts, ideas. It really is it's own little world. So I get caught up in these blogs, by the time I get to mine, I am either blogged out, or have somewhere else to be or simply run out of time. Enough said, I am here now, so let the show blogging begin.
If you like taking pictures there are so many photo memes out there. Everyday of the week there is at least one.
Sunday : I am sure there is one, don't have one listed, I will get back to this.
Monday: Mellow Yellow Monday, the pictures all have some yellow in them.Tuesday : Ruby Tuesday, the pictures all have red in them


Wednesday: Window Views 2, the pictures have windows and door themes.
Thursday: Tablescape Tuesday, if you can believe it the pictures are table settings. I have seen some pretty nice dishes and the table settings are very impressive.
Friday: Sky Watch Friday, you guessed it pictures of the sky. This is one of the most popular memes, often times they have close to 400 entries from all around the world every week. The pictures are amazing, I have put in a couple pictures.
Saturday: Pink Saturday, all things pink.
These are just a few, there are ones for animals, the world, metamorphism's of things, all things to do with water, pictures that are in monochrome, the outdoors and even postcards (I love postcards). So whatever your interest there is either a blog about it or a meme or both. How about you do some blog hopping today.
I am hoping to mention other blogs that I enjoy going back to often, they are usually colourful and have something to offer, I like feel good blogs ones that make me feel good, of course I like blogs that offer photo tips or photo of the day, scrapbooking blogs, craft blogs, and eating healthy blogs.
So today I will start with a feel good blog.
The Farm Chicks.
She has lots of ideas for crafts, decorating, cooking and it just a nice looking blog. Check it out, I think you will like it.
Also my daughter Amberley has a new blog, all about eating healthy click here to see it.
Here are some pictures from this past Christmas. All my kids and their kids were together for 1 day, Boxing Day. My brother and his wife Penny had Christmas this year and we had a wonderful time.
These are my 4 grandchildren, Gavin, Rain, Sydney and Ethan. Poor Sydney she had enough of Christmas at this moment.
These are my beautiful kids. Brittany, Owen and Amberley.
The next 2 pictures are of same people and pose just 2 different years. These young men are all of my mom's grandson's.

This year in September my daughter Brittany is getting married, in London. So how exciting is that.
This is their official engagement picture, it was taken by me at Rock Glen Conservation Area. Here are some other pictures that I took that day that I like.
Also another feature I was thinking of adding was Flashback Pictures, pictures taken many years ago, it can be of anything but should be at least 10 years old. Here's one to show you.

1984
These young fellows are my brothers, Mike and Chris
One last picture, it is a fun one.
Almost everyone that was there at Christmas had a cell phone, so we took a picture of all the cell phones there.
Enjoy your day and all the best for 2010.

Skywatch Friday

My Family And Some Photo Memes

Owen is coming to Chatham today I can’t wait to see him. He is going to help us change the livingroom furniture around and get the Christmas decorations down from the attic. Wow can you believe it’s that time of year again. It’s exciting, I love Christmas. I am loving living in Chatham (except for the part about not seeing Owen everyday), I love life and I love my Saviour whose birth we celebrate at Christmastime.

Romans 15:13
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Amberley & Brittany both had to go to the hospital this past week. One to emergency for an infection the other for a bunch of tests. Even though they are grown ups and have families of their own I just hate to see them suffering. I just love them so much I still want to protect them from harm and sadness, once a mom always a mom.

Sydney is beautiful, and thriving. Having a girl in the family means pink and dolls, frills and tea parties. I am going to enjoy every step of the way while also enjoying the ruff and tumble of the boys, the trains, Superman, and Wolverineman and all the boy stuff. Isn’t it fun having little ones in your life.

This is my sister Cathy, holding her great niece Sydney with her great nephew Ethan close by, doesn’t he look happy.

This week I had Rain for 2 nights which was fun he is such a good boy and so smart. On the second day I had him, I picked up Ethan & Gavin took them to McDonalds for some ice cream and playtime in the play area, cousin time. Then we headed back home, and made supper for them after I made popcorn and put it in 3 individual popcorn bags for them and watched a movie together. After the movie Perry came to get Ethan & Gavin. What a wonderful time with those little guys. I am so blessed.

For some reason they decided to take their shirts off, such silly and cute little guys.

I am planning a cookie baking day for next month, with mom, Cathy & Penny. Hopefully we all have that day off and get lots of baking done.

Some memes for today.

For more yellow go to Mellow Yellow Monday.

I took this picture in my daughter’s backyard.

For more blue go to Blue Monday.

This blue jay was sitting right out my door.

Well that’s it for now, have a good day. And remember to take time to enjoy what you have.
