If Ducks Could Talk...

I don't see many ducks walking down our street
but I'm sure this guy had his reasons.

In Training...

Actually, I really have started to get back into a 'normal' routine that
involves less eating and more physical activities. My knees hurt too much
when my weight gets up there. A good message from my body.

Spirit in a Candy Cane


I read a couple of Penny's blog's and was inspired. 
I put together a couple of illustrations and she posted them
on her blog this morning!
This one was from yesterday's post True Meaning of Christmas: Candy

Merry Christmas!

A Merry Christmas


If we had snow Matt would have an excuse for not shovelling any of it. 
The double major he's going for has him buried in a different way.
Merry Christmas!

We do not have any snow on the ground yet, but I am optimistic. 
 This is a shot I took just after Christmas last year.... .
I don't mind the snow and the cold…I just hate being cold. 
I'm one of those people who bundle up like crazy and 
waddle around the driveway with a shovel. I use the snowblower
when the snow gets stupid deep.

Can I Get a Habs Game?

My brother-in-law, a true Habs fan, is feeling well enough to be asking for a television in his room. 
We are all relieved. He is on the mend!

A Visual Book Review

Just finished reading "The Sisters Brothers"
by Patrick deWitt. An excellent western
following Eli and Charlie Sisters, a couple of hired guns.

Snow Tires

        The traction is incredible.This is our third winter driving with them. 
                I can see why the province of Quebec has made it illegal to drive without 'em in the winter.

It isn't happening at Costco.

It was really crowded at Costco Sunday morning. 
I'm thinking they're going to need even bigger shopping carts for the customers.

About 3 weeks ago my Mom asked me if I had replaced the washer hose going into the back of my washer in the past 5 years. Our washer is only 3 years old so I wasn't too concerned about it. It had been 15 years on the old machine without incident. Apparently you are supposed to change them every 3 - 5 years. Coincidently my good friend Chris recently told me his washer hose burst, filling his laundry room in his basement with water. The carpets sealed both the door and the drain spout on the floor. When he opened the laundry room door he got soaked. The water was spraying onto his fuse box.
 I added the electrical sparks for dramatical tension. His fuse box has a really good seal on it.
 I added the fish for fun.
