Mothers Day 2010

living room reno

Here's some pics of the living room without mirrors & nice white walls. It's a lot brighter and I still have room for more art! Just have to get some blinds to protect from sun damage now. I wouldn't mind some new furniture too - but that will have to wait awhile.

today: snow in barcelona

Gram in Kimberley, Oct 2009

Jerry and I made a quick trip to Kimberley near the end of October. Mom is doing fine (for going on 93) but she couldn't see too well. So, .......we booked an appointment with the Optomitrist last Tuesday to check her eyes. Turns out her eyes are great - 20/25. The problem is that she's been wearing someone else's glasses for about a year! We are currently trying to track down the suspect!

More Road Trip Pics

We met several horses on our trip, but cutest were five tiny horses that came galloping towards us when we were taking pictures of an old cabin. They were very friendly and we would have spent more time with them but they were surrounded by a swarm of mosquitos.
I got a laugh out of the "house for sale" which was at Burns Lake. I suspect that they may have to give it away!
The bull running down the highway was just south of Quesnel. I felt sorry for the poor guy chasing him, no-one offered to stop & help but that was one awfully big bull!
Shirley was thrilled that we found cows in flowers. It brought back a happy memory from the past & made for a pretty picture. The area around Williams lake is true ranch country and we stopped to watch some real cowboys sorting cattle in a corral. The cabin in the first picture is well preserved & dates back to the gold rush days in Northern BC.

I think this might be it for the road trip series. Hopefully Kate will share some pictures with us after her road trip.
