Cookies Cookies Cookies...

Emil, Janice and Stan! Cheers! Stan came up to personally celebrate Janice and Emil's upcoming retirement. Stan won't be here for the HEU party in a few weeks, so he came up early. We did a a dinner out at the BBI and then returned home for a little more cheer. ( I did the driving...and we left one car back at the BBI)

Later we hit the hot-tub for a good chin wag and a soak ....

This morning it was off for a little fishing trip on Kootenay Lake.
It was cloudy and drizzly at times, but all in all, not so cold, plus the boat
has a heater...I should say had while we had power! We were nearly down to Rhino Point, when the motor revved up and it was clear we had stopped moving. Upon inspection by the Captain and his First Mate, it was declared that the motor would no longer take us anywhere. I guess that is why a boat should always have a kicker... Luckily, we have a brand new one! Emil hooked it up and we were back under way again...but heading home now. We were nearing Queen's Bay when Stan't line let out the big ZZZINNNNNGGGGG! WOW! We were all screaming with excitement as the action started. Emil reeled in his line, I got the net out and Stan kept his line taught and the rod up, as he played Mr. Fish!
Soon we could see it flipping out of the water and then it was next to the boat and we could see that it was a biggy! Emil secured the net under Mr. Fish and it was Caught!
The size was good...some 30.5 inches long and weighing it at 12 pounds... So a 12 pound Rainbow Trout on Kootenay Lake, on November 3, 2007! Yippee! By then it was raining and time to return to home with our prize. Nice catch Stan...Surely made his trip up here all the more worthwhile.
We enjoyed a nice roast lamb dinner...thanks Joyce for the cooking instructions...next time we'll have to get the carving details from Morgan! Now, like fat little pups, everyone has headed to bed! And, I think that is where I might go , myself.

Telephone Scams Beware...

In case you weren't listening to KBS this morning, there is a new scam where your phone rings and someone says to push #1 if you want to lower your interest rates, and push #3 if you don't want to hear from us again.....

JUST HANG UP! DON"T PUSH ANY BUTTONS! That can give the caller permission to make long distant calls from your telephone number..

2. Also, EMil got called with the old "You've won a 4 day trip to Orlando Florida" They were taping the conversation so they could play it back to Visa when you tell them your Visa number over the phone ...ACHHHHH! No Visa numbers over the phone...ever!

Don't believe a word of it... Annette's friend added up the costs to her...about $2000.00 and that was before she actually accepted the trip. Often the accomodation isn't available, so they put you in a more expensive hotel and you get to pay the costs.

3. If anyone calls to donate to the Police fund so that you can send a child to a circus...chances are very good, that no child will ever go to any circus

4. Lastly, before you donate, do a google search on the name whom you are donating to and check the comments.. ALthough a lot of names sound familiar, they may be copy cat names that are scamming you.

In any event becautious and as they say...if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

And the latest one I received by mail was to buy Lottery tickets in the German Lottery... I don't think so... Be Afraid... Be very Afraid... then be smart!

Da Moon...

If you are a night owl like moi, then take a pair of binoculars outside and look at the moon.. It is a beautiful piece of cheese tonight...
Take a look to the right of the bottom corner and you will see a yellowish blob of a star. This could be the new comet that has erupted 17P Holmes. It is in the constellation Perseus, but I couldn't show you Perseus any better than the Man in the Moon. The key point, is that the comet is growing larger, and may be devolping a tail, but not a visible one yet, and the colour of it is a yellow green, and it is as bright as any star in the Big Dipper and is now superseding the brightness of Jupitor...all in one night...so keep your eye on the night sky. See Spaceweather.com for some real photos of the comet, and a star map.
... You'd have todouble-click my photo to see the surrounding stars, which look like tiny pin pricks . Maybe I'll get out thee tri-pod ,one of these nights...

Happy Birthday Joyce!

Lots of candles to snuff out!

Beautiful Carrot cake that Lynn made and brought

Make a Wish!

Lynn, gorgeous as always!

On Sunday, the three of us met to celebrate Joyce's Hallowe'en birthday at Joey's Only in Castlegar. You'd think we hadn't seen each other for a year! We Love to have these little birthday get-togethers to blab about the news of the day, share grandchildren stories and pics, and to gobble up a bunch of good food and to squeeze months of visiting into a couple of hours ! Lynn brought the lovely carrot cake that she made and decorated and we indulged in..in fact, I just finished the chunk she sent home with me...Yummy, and thank-you Lynn. The news of the day is to wait for photos of Correna's big party..Send along some pics,so we can see how it all turned out... Hope you aren't still finding left over ghouls in the closet!
On an other note, a gal on the rasio is writing stories about the ghosts of Rossland. Sounds like the city was chock full of them, and in her quest to unearth the stories, she had a few ghostly encounters herself, in the old buildings of Rossland. She related a few stories on the radio this morning that would make the hair on the back of your neck stand on end. Okay, you Rosslandites...know of any ghostly happenings?
I always remember the ghost story of our Grandma Brewer... about noises in the pantry at night. One night they sprinkled the floor with flour to see what noisy thing was visiting.
In the morning, they were shocked to see the tiny foot-prints of a baby!
The End.
