Do you know what this is?

 

 

Did you guess an upside down dog?

If so

You are right!!!!!!!!

 

She is sooo funny!

She makes me laugh out loud

 

The river was very calm this morning

 

I went down to Chatham this morning

Took the back road across from Walpole Island

Such beautiful creatures

 

This car has been sitting on a lot in Wallaceburg for ever and a day

The car reminds me of a car my parents had when I was a girl

When coming home from the cottage

I would curl up

on the floor boards because it was warm

Some people will remember a hump in the middle of the floor board

where the drive shaft sat

 

Oh boy

What a treat to see a field of sunflowers

 

A lady slowed her car down to call out the window

AREN'T THEY SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!

 

Back to the pond I went

When I pulled up in Stella I saw the

heron right away

Whoa I said

 

I was too close for comfort

 

Ah............

'My' little swan family was there

 

Coming around the corner into Port Lambton

I first of all was surprised at how calm the river was this afternoon

The raft and 'water' slide caught my eye

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.
