MORE WARMER TIMES

PHOTOS FROM WARMER TIMES...

An incredibly hot day at our local fair...Loretta and I eventually rocketed our way back to her house on an incredibly hot and over full BC transit bus...an experience I am not sure I want to repeat any time soon....the heat, the smells, the insanely driving bus driver who was driving an express bus which made stops? ummm.... In any case we finally made it to Loretta's where we sat in her peaceful and shaded back yard under a neat gadget she has called a "mister" that attaches to a garden hose and sprays very fine water on you making you cool off but not freeze! Not that we were freezing on that particular day as the temperature was amazingly hot for this neck of the woods...we are not a "happy medium" kind of town...our weather always seems to go to the extremes....

Spray pool fun!

Ice Cream on a warm day in Harrison Hot Springs, BC

One of my very favorite Princess photos. I think I saw this exact same princess (ie the person under the gown) on a commerical on TV the other night for Disneyland. She was the best Cinderella I had ever seen and I suspect they will try and keep her for a long time as she is so good and she also has a very patient way about her with the children....who can be very impatient, hot, tired, cranky etc...LOL

Time For a Picture or Two of Warmer Weather

I should maybe entitle this blog the "BC Weather Woes" as that is what seems to preoccupy my mind these days! I finally bought myself gumboots in anticipation of perhaps more inclement weather. I had hoped we were done but the very much cooler morning now has me a bit nervous...again... In any case, I am going to look on my camera cards and find some pictures of nice warm weather to cheer us up!

Today is Monday...again...

Well, when I came upstairs this morning Jack Frost had visited the yard and cars on the street outside. Deep frost was covering just everything. The fog was swirling around but not nearly as dense as it has been of late. Nicci and the kids arrived early as she anticipated a long journey over here due to our main bridge being closed because of a fire late Saturday night. This is not good news for commuters or Wal-Mart shoppers like me as I am going to have a difficult time getting to the spot we like to hang out at some days because of the rerouted traffic on the bridge close to my home. Last I heard it could be 4 - 6 weeks to repair as a portion will need to be torn out. Of course this is Translink and government saying this...no doubt it will be months in actual time.

Hubby took Dakotah to school this morning as he was going out to do some things anyways. As soon as she was out the door I gave Jaime his Christmas gift from "Auntie Retta". He really had a good time opening it and he really likes it. Auntie "Retta" finds the neatest toys....this latest is a set of stacking cards with raised figures of animals on them that have to be stacked in the correct order in which to fit back together, It kept Jaime amused for several minutes...I helped him and after each card fit properly he brought his hands up and yelled "yeah"! I took a few pictures of him opening his gift.
