Paris in June

got some more photos of Paris... I think i've taken photos from here before...

the train in the background set it off perfectly, for me!

Girlie Girls

so...there's this store in Peterborough....



ok, let me start over....



East Peterborough has a neat little "mini-downtown" stretch, just east of the river on Hunter street...... Subway, movie store, Tim Hortons, Bank of Montreal, drug store....



i go there.... to do my banking, and to feed my need for caffeine .... stuck in between the bank and Tim Hortons, the two spots I usually go to, is this store.... Girlie Girls...



I have not ever ONCE darkened the door ( though i have thought about it! )



anyway..... in the summer, the people at this store.. do something incredibly kind...



they put out a dish of water and doggie treats for dogs that happen to be going by...



I don't know... maybe it's just me, but I think that is really kind and neat...



I'm getting more sentimental in my old age.. Lord have mercy!!

Eery Night Sky

I was sitting at my desk a few minutes ago, with my windows open.... and out of NOWHERE the wind started blowing like crazy...... blowing paper off my desk, curtains flying.... was very freaky... I went outside and took some pictures ..... it was eery.... the setting on the camera made the photos look brighter than it really was out there.... I'm thinking we're in for a whopper storm in the next few minutes....

Abby's Graduation

Well my little baby is officially done public school, and heading to High School in the fall.... sigh...... I am SOOOOO proud of you Abby...

To top it off, she made the honour roll, something her father never managed in 17 years of classes!! Bless her heart!

Abby, I am VERY proud of the beautiful young lady you have become...

sigh.... and could ya slow down a little on the growing up part??..... I don't own a gun yet to keep the boys away!!!

I LOVE YOU AB!!!

Pretty Sunset in Dorset yesterday

Quote of the day

"Earth's crammed with heaven;

And every common bush afire with God;

But only he who sees, takes off his shoes,

The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries.

- Elizabeth Barrett Browning"

Fathers Day

Well after being in hiding for over two weeks, I'm back to say Happy Fathers Day Dad! Got to see my folks a lot this weekend..... they came to Brantford on Friday for Abby's graduation ( will blog about that next! ) .... Saturday morning, Mom and Dad and I went out garage saling in Brantford... then to Belleville Saturday afternoon for supper with my siblings...

Today, spent the day with my folks and back to Peterborough this afternoon...... Will blog more later, for now, here's some photos from Fathers Day!

Eva, with mischief in her eye!!



Here's one with Dad and Bruce and Carol:













here's one of the grand kids... My kids were away this weekend, at a wedding of their cousin, in Huntsville.. we are going to celebrate Fathers' Day next weekend.... I told them that since they were going to be able to get Fathers' Day gifts on 50% off after today, that I wanted TWICE as many presents!!!















Hey Bruce.... I'm not saying you HAVE to buy a Nintendo DS for Isaac... but I'm thinking he LIKES it!!!!!


























Here's one of the kids racing in front of Kelseys..... Enjoy it while you can Katie.... in 20 years, you'll hardly be able to WALK after a meal like that!!!






















Here's Isaac..... CHEERING when he saw Aunt Carol's plate of Fries!!

This one is Carol, showing exactly WHICH finger she has Dad wrapped around....
