Sad times visiting the Grandparents old house



Grandma and Grandpa's old house by the sea.....it has been a while since we have visited, and 5 years since Grandpa died....hard time for me and for my mom....and the boys could barely remember the times we had there.
Felt as if I could walk up the stairs and say hello to my dad....so sad that he is no longer here. I cried and cried...I miss my wonderful dad every single day.

Oma is in Victoria and we went to visit her and had a great time....we miss Victoria!

Gratitude

Family life speeds by....the last 10 years have gone so quickly and the boys grow so fast....the winter season is time to take stock of it all...and I am grateful for

My Boris who is my shadow, constant companion, and gentle brown elegant friend

My boys's school which has made them fine young men; caring souls, and thoughtful learners.


My boys who teach me every day and help me to live in the present and who make me smile at life.....thank you
and finally....Wiesinger who makes me laugh and who give me perspective and who is with me on this great journey.

Knitting cables



Look at my new knitting project: I can knit cables. It looks complex but it is really easy. Who needs a neck warmer?

A little night skiing at Grouse...we definitely need some more snow!!!
