A Late Snowy Nite Walk

Could walk for hours when the snow gently flutters down. It is even more spectacular at night taking a nite stroll. Not much in the way so snow as yet in my neighborhood but maybe Sunday - just enough but not too too much -  okay :)!

Beauty Of A Geisha

I came across a couple of beautiful images the other day which reminded me of an intriguing book I recently read. The history of the geisha and the radial transformation from decades past to modern times was a most informative read. This prompted me to scrap the beauty of this young lady in a page.

A line from the movie 'Memories of a Geisha' seemed to suit the mood of the subject and is the final touch to my page.

Could Only Happen In My Ole Home Town!

Tho I moved away from PA many years ago, I still have a lot of family & friends that reside in and around there so keeping up with local events, news etc is always of interest. Not much happens there
and folks are pretty low keyed, but I couldn't stop laughing when I read this the other day:

"Police in PA, Sask. recently pulled over a man for using a lawn chair as a driver's seat.  No word on how the front seat of his car went missing, or why he decided a lawn chair would make an adequate substitute."

Geez, would I  have loved to have seen the look on the officer's face when he saw and pulled over this car. And to listen in on the conversation that must have ensued would  have even been even more hilarious.

Lest We Forget

He so proudly fought for a country he dearly loved - my Dad during WW2. The picture has deteriorated so much over the years, but I thought I would use it anyway to make this page in his memory just in time for Remembrance Day. The prayer added was written by a Canadian soldier - the name of that soldier/author is unknown.



Thanks Dad & likewise to all those brave men & women who have fought & served to preserve our freedom.

One remarkable little girl; a fighter & survivor. She has captured my heart and should be truly an inspiration to all of us.

Like I Could Give A HOOT!!

Felt like playing around again with doing another animation today. Decided to also post the page in an SBF challenge - we'll see how the page fares.

Well what can I say - it sort of captures my mood today too :)!
