I am using a new template from Blogger in its Beta state so it may change from time to time as Blogger tweaks up the templates. One new feature they will have is links to other pages... so maybe I will be able to link to a recipe a little better. I will work on that. If anyone can't view it at all, then let me know...like Eileen did this morning. I changed a few things so we will see how it goes.. I'll play with the colours some more as I have time. In the meantime, have a great weekend out there!

Photos that Joyce took
Joyce sent me these adorable photos she took while on her little trip to visit the kids and grandkidlet... and she took her new partner in crime... Little Amigo. She said that Kendra had a ton of fun with him and made sure she explained that he was a rescue dog from Mexico! Someone asked her if he spoke Spanish and she said: "No, but he loves rice!"
Kendra and Amigo
Wow...check out C's new shoes! Right out of the Wizard of OZ and Beyond! I love them...
She is a bold woman and maybe has a few of those Grandma Romas shoe genes lurking in her system
...A gal after my own heart!
Joyce and Kendra having a swing!
Here is Eva's husband , One of the newly formed group called "Bald Eagles!" Way to go Dave for shaving it off for cancer...We all love ya for it...not a bad shaped dome at all!

Blue Birds of Happiness...
But first, my clean and clipped Silky after her bath today!
Look what the wind blew in... a flock of about 6 Mountain Blue birds...now aren't they beautiful? The males are the bright blue ones! You can't miss them!
They never stayed more than ten minutes.. just hopped from one tree to the next, but the amzing thing they could do was to flutter their wings and hover in one spot like a hummingbird would do... very amazing. Most of them were brilliant blue,and a few were more grey...the poor females, I guess! Anyhow I felt blessed to see these beautiful creatures, and so many all at once. Makes me want to set up bluebird houses now!

Bear with me...Grrrrrrr
I am trying out a Beta version of blogger that allows this template, but as you will notice, there are a few problems...mainly with my videos.. you can still click on them to view the photos, but certainly they are not working right. I will either delete them or try to improve the situation. Same with the photo I had in my header... it seems to cause problems, so I will stick with the mountain scenery available in this template and may change it from time to time... or maybe I'll jsut go back to my old template... who knows???? it is all in the day of a blogger!
So Bear ..grrrrr With me...

Hawaii meets Harrop
Five young'ens were out on Saturday doing some fabulous Kite surfing/boarding ( that's what I call it!) The winds were strong and the waves big, and they were performing a few tricks when they could catch a big wave.It was quite the phenomena for this area.. and yes, they were all wearing wet suits! I was amazed that they hung on for over an hour... Their arms must have been dropping off!
The water is at its lowest now and as you can see, the sandbar is showing
and the sand bridge to get out to the bar is completely out of the water... but perhaps not for long. Soon the lake will begin to fill up and that will be the end of all the beautiful beaches for another two months nearly. I guess it all depends on our snow melt. The cool weather of last week brought 40 centimeters of new snow up to Whitewater ski hill,which might help to keep our forests from burning up this summer!
Last night we had a lovely bonfire in Ashley and Deb's burner that they set up in the courtyard... The wind wouldn't abate, but we all stuck it out! Randy and Frances came and later our new neighbour, David joined us with his two sons for hot dogs roasted over the open fire... Yum! it wasn't without the gourmet touch, as Frances made an extra thick home made pizza dough pizza stuffed full of feta cheese and pineapple and good meats... yum! Also she made a home cooked apple pie that was pretty tasty too! Deb and I brought wieners and buns and she made her famous lemon squares... a thin layer of shortbread type buttery crust, and a layer of real lemon filling topped with a very thin layer of something sweet to give it a topping... very delicious also.
Seeing how I worked on income tax stuff most of yesterday and filing, I made a quickie pizza with a Naan bread crust topped with tomato paste, spices, mozzarella cheese, sun dried tomatoes and yellow peppers and sliced mushrooms... It was tasty too and with all that good food, I can honestly say, there weren't a heck of a lot of left-overs.
Ok, on with the day.
I had a nice chat with Annette this morning, and a little Blackberry chat with Sonia who sent me pics of her and Lawrence walking on the beach... how cool was that?
Time to bath the dog, then back to shredding up more paper while Emil sands the deficiencies in the Men's lounge. I love this annual clean out of the file cabinet...no mi favorito!
It is windy and freezing out, but if it warms up, I might go try to stick in a row of spinach.
Have a great Sunday!
