Eagles

Feb 19: Karen and I were driving home and we spotted an eagle in a tree not far from the road.  We stopped for a picture and I’m sure we weren’t more than 30-40 feet from the tree. Once we stopped we notice the surrounding trees and their had to have been around 10-12 more eagles in the trees.  It was quite a sight.

These were 2 shots Karen took.

Alex Fraser Bridge

Feb 18: Karen tagged along with me when I went to get my hair cut. While I was getting my nails done and hair cut, she spent the time listening to a book and knitting a little on a scarf. This picture is the Alex Fraser bridge we drove over on the way to New Westminster, I love the cable configuration on this bridge.

Spring Flowers Coming

Feb 17: Today was a beautiful and we watched an amazing sunset! (Sorry no picture of that). We had checked earlier this week and there was no evidence of bulbs, but today when we looked there are signs of spring here in BC! Yeah!

Play Date Cancelled

Feb 16: Gloria had to cancel our play date as she is down with a cold and didn’t want to share her germs! No problem, we found out yesterday afternoon that the class we thought was on Tuesday (by my calendar) was actually tonight! We do seem to be having a problem with our schedule! Oh well, it all works out.

Our class tonight was Scrapology 6 – they have been doing these classes based on using sketches as a starting point. They have been well received and always well attended. Our class had about 20 students. Someone always comments on Karen’s adhesive gun and tonight was no different!

We had to leave before the class was over as Karen couldn’t sit there any longer, but Stacey was kind enough to give me the instructions for the last page.

Relaxing Sunday at Home

Feb 15: We had a nice relaxing day at home. John came over and helped Art uncover the fish pond, boy were they excited to see daylight and people after the long winter of being covered up.

We made a boneless leg of lamb for dinner and Karen had Pat send  the recipe for the marinade that they have used for years. We got that all set just after breakfast.

Later in the day, after the lamb had been in the oven for awhile, the house was filled with wonderful smells! Our dinner include steamed potatoes, a mix of peas & corn and of course gravy!

I Have Jumped into the World of Blogging

Feb 14: Actually I am not sure if I have jumped or been pushed by my good friend Karen. She is here from North Carolina for a few weeks and we have been working on all kinds of projects. She has helped me set up a new computer. We have been scrapping and doing alot of laughing.

I have joined her in the Project 365. She has all her posts from day one. I will just start from this day forward.
These are the valentine flowers that we picked up yesterday. Dinner was wonderful ribs done on the Grill and roasted potatoes and turnips.
Have a great day!
