GRASS WATER AND ICE

Sue and Donna Mae heading home
after a night on the island
 
Home sweet home
 
Three frogs live in our pond
 
 Our niece Stephanie and husband Michael along with Angela and Ray spent the weekend with us
 
Afternoon delight!
As you can see from the group photo I did not have a place at the table
No thanks
 
Each morning Stephanie went for a run
around the island
Gwennie joined her for the stretching
 
Off the dock she would go
Gwennie right at her heels
 
A classic
 
Navy ship heading down river
Oh Oh
No spotter in the ski boat
 
Coming into the Corunna Shell dock to
load up on fuel
 
Cruising down the St. Clair
I checked the flags of the world but
could not find this flag
 
Here we go again
We're off to Mount Clemens to watch Beau and teammates
at training camp
 
The camera lady is doing what she likes best
 
The boys started out with a few stretches
 
The defensemen all wore white jerseys
 
The boys did many drills
I have a new respect for hockey players
Man did they work hard
 
Whew this one is over
I was tired out just watching them
 
Back we went again yesterday to watch the boys play in a scrimmage
One ferry passing the other
 
Gathering around the coach
 
# 16
The boy
 
It was a fast game
 
Lots of action around the net
 
Scrimmage over
Good job boys
 
Another navy ship goes by
 
Curt and Christina are here for the weekend
Curt lookin' for some fish
 
Saturday afternoon
 
Cooling off
Check out that little head in the water
 
That girl loves the water
 
What a beautiful warm day
 
This morning Stag Island had their
4th annual
10 K run
and
5 K walk
My neighbour and friend Diana
and I walked the 5 K
We improved our time from last year by
9 minutes
YEAH!!!!

IF I WERE ALONE IN THE DESERT


Taken from the 'Quotation Book'
on animals
that Kathy put together for me
...... this is my favourite

If I were alone in a desert
and feeling afraid,
I would want a child to be with me.
For then my fear would disappear
and I would be made strong.
This is what life in itself can do
because it is so noble, so full of pleasure
and so powerful.
But if I could not have a child with me
I would like to have at least a living animal
at my side to comfort me
therefore,
let those who bring about wonderful things
in their big, dark book
take an animal
to help them.
The life within the animal
will give them strength in turn.
For equality
gives strength, in all things
and at all times.
