A family collage for 2007-2008

Another table at G's supper...

We had 21 for supper in total. It was a nice time enjoyed by all. Some more pics of that day at http://www.teawithjudy.blogspot.com/

Gram turned 80 and we ....

... all had supper at a room at their condo. It was nice and fun to have B and N from Chicago too!

My mom...

My mom came to see us after 3 years of not coming here. We had a great time together! We wish we could see her more often!

Friends......

I might get in trouble for this photo, but I didn't even take this one. P took this one after we were kindly invited over by the lovely lady in the middle there. It was fun!

And we are due for a tea party!

One blog..........need just one..........

I need to have one blog. So.... I like the cottage, I like tea......

I'd like to combine them into one blog....... I need a design.........

What do you think.......hmmmmmmm?

Well it seems weird to think outloud....

You guys all do it!

I want to sit on my cottage deck, drinking tea or vanilla coffee....can't you see me sitting off to the left there, you know a little cartoon character of me.... what do you think?????

Back in Time....

Did you ever hear the story of the man who built a boat in the middle of the prairie? The Sukanen Boat????
It wasn't built by Noah, David!
Click on the title above,  "Back in Time..." to have a look at the museum!!!

Snowbirds!!!!! Oh deer!

A cool picture of the Snowbirds flying over the little prairie city of Moose Jaw! We had a tour of their airport training facilities a few years ago. We hear other jets fly over our cottage but rarely see them, they are so fast! Flying high!

Deer me, A. took this lovely picture near their cottage. Gotta go!

A lion to see....

Here is a link for a look into the life of a lion raised in a London,
England apartment and then released into the wild:

Live Peregrine Falcon Feed

A live Peregrine Falcon Feed from the top of my my mother's condo building: http://www.asic.ca/peregrinefalcons/
Friday note: I think the young birds have left the nest. Well, they are big enough. They were there yesterday, though. Hmmmmm

Tea's Ready!

Hurry, tea is ready! Come and let's visit!

Peekaboo...

Just peekin'!

Time for a stroll for the busy mommy....!

Photoshop is fun!

Peregrine Falcon Nest

Peregrine Falcons Nest. Click on here to see a livestream view of a nest on top of a building in Toronto. We watched the mother bird and the three babies for a couple weeks. Now the babies are big and look like the mother falcon.

Poppin' in...

Just poppin' in to say "Hi"!
I like readin' blogs more than writing blogs!
Just flyin' by!

Crocus....crumpet....cute!

Three of my favourite things!

This is Ethan and Great Uncle's dog, Eddie. I think they are friends! :)

How to drink tea...

Somedays, two hands are needed to drink tea. One to hold the cup and the other to help holding the cup and one's cheek to make sure the tea goes in at the right spot. This is a handy trick for young and old. 

     And now for that recipe. Let's see now... was it two eggs and 1/2 cup of butter? I think so. You add that to the cake mix, and then spoon out the dough in little globs on the cookie sheet, then cook at 350. Then eat with tea of course. Tootaloo....

Well, let me tail you now....the answer to the ancient puzzle quiz!

Holly guesses right! The answer is a whale!

Rockumentary...a story from the lake...

A favourite, large rock was found missing by P last spring.How many years had it been sitting on the side of the hill?All our children played on the rock. It was one of their favourite activities at the lake. Now it blocks our favourite entrance to the beach. But we made a path around it. When you enlarge this picture, you can see the rock on the right, behind the fir tree. This picture was taken last year before the rock fell.

An Ancient Puzzle

Readers, can you figure this out!



An Ancient Puzzle

Many years ago a prominent merchant in Saunton promised a prize to an eccentric old lady from a neighbouring town, if taking her subject from the bible, she would compose a riddle which he could not guess. She won the prize.

Adam God made out of dust,
But thought it best to make me first;
So I was made before the man
To answer God's most holy plan.

A living thing I then became
And Adam gave to me my name,
I from his presence then withdrew
And more of Adam never knew.

I did my Maker's law obey,
Nor from it ever went astray,
Thousands of miles I go in fear
But seldom on the earth appear.

For when from me the soul had fled,
I was the same as when first made,
And without hands or feet or soul
I travel on from pole to pole.

I labour hard both day and night,
To fallen man I give great light,
Thousands of people, both young and old
Will by my death great light behold.

No right or wrong can I conceive,
The Scriptures I cannot believe,
Although my name therein is found,
They are to me all empty sound.

No fear of death does trouble me,
Real happiness I ne'er shall see,
To heaven I shall never go
Or to the grave, or hell below.

Nor when these lines you slowly read,
Go search your Bible with all speed,
For that my name's recorded there
I honestly to you declare.

Well readers, can you guess the answer??Please leave a comment with your answer!!!

Family Dolls

Do you recognize anyone you know????
These are my children!
Yes, all of them are there....wait....
There is one stranger there.
She is wearing red. Ignore her.
And ignore the snowman too.
And the old black crow!

God speaks to every mother...

"Take this child, and nurse it for me,
and I will give thee thy wages." (Exodus 2:9)

"Take this child and nurse it for me" -
So King Pharaoh's daughter spake
To the mother, whose whole being
For her little one did ache.

So God speaks to every mother
At her helpless infant's birth:
"Take this child and nurse it for Me",
During all its life on earth.

"Take this child, to thee I trust it;
It from thee must learn the way,
Through the earthly darkness round it,
To the light of heavenly day.

"Take this child - and Mother, ponder!
Yonder heaven is pure and fair;
Wouldst thou be amidst its number
And thy little one not there?

"Oh, then train it, gently, wisely,
Of its Saviour's love to feel;
And, where sin has cast its shadow,
Teach it Christ has power to heal.

"Take this child, this richest blessing
Given to the earthly home;
Take this child and nurse it for Me,
Till to claim Mine own I come."

(R.K. Campbell - The Christian Home)

Help...

Well, I was changing the blog and kinda wrecked it. So now, I didn't save the old format or whatever and now it is gone, so am starting all over with no desire to start over. I can't even get a picture on now as the Layout part is gone and now the picture thing is gone too on the new posting page. So I may delete this blog and just go with the tea one! Anyone think that is a good idea????? I just wasted a whole bunch of time....ahhhhhhhh
