Singing on the Beach








Our Siberian Tiger and an Orange Wallaby

He told us he wants to be a Siberian Tiger. We had just watched a YouTube documentary on the Siberian Tiger and he stole this yarn from the basket.  Just add a little orange to that black and white.

Crash!

What do you do when your computer crashes? I guess, if you have unlimited funds, you go out and buy a new one. We don't have unlimited funds. We took our computer to London Drugs last week and had them check it out to determine whether it was worth fixing. We were told that it could be adjusted a little and maybe last a month or six months. At first, we didn't want to hassle with a computer that might or might not work in six months. This was important because this is not a fun computer even though we did "fun" stuff on it. This was a "Work" computer and had lots of important files (like pictures) on it. But in the end we bought a new laptop. After getting it home and messing around with it for a while we took it back because we really didn't want to spend the money at this point in our lives. (If it were up to me, I would get rid of computers and go back to the Stone Age - with my Kitchen Aide - but that's another story.) So, back to the original computer that might not last six months. It didn't. It lasted a week. Then crashed. Three times. In one hour. Grr. (In case you are wondering, I'm using my old laptop and haven't figured out how to configure Picassa on it yet. Haven't even tried). It's a good thing I didn't delete my pictures that I last uploaded to the old computer even though I did re-size, did brighten, did manipulate the pictures to make them as perfect as possible for our website.



The house where B was born and spent the first eight years of his life - in Winnepeg.

Just for fun - because there are no suitable pics for this post and because B will be home in a few minutes from picking up his glasses (another reason we cannot afford a computer today or even next week) so we can go over the border to buy yummy sour dough bread - and get a pizza.
