SWEET:

this is my 1st try at using

a macro x4 filter

yes its just a filter that you put on the lens

as I cannot afford to buy a macro lens

but it works really sweet

This past week:

As everyone knows what happened in the US last week with the election. Things in the world amaze me. Well this is why i bring this up. As I cruise thru my friends blogs. I came across this quote. Thanks to Kristy this has been on my mind a lot and it makes me wonder what or where our futures will lead us. This is the quote:

Rosa sat so Martin could walk.
Martin walked so Obama could run.
Obama is running so our children CAN FLY.

It makes me think of all the possiblities in life....looking from where things were to where they are now. I think of what this new generation will achieve in their lives.... Muffin Marlee and Kail how they will be able to change this world....how much more that I can do to help change this world....makes me want to do more starting by one small random act of kindness to some who needs help....anyone have more ideas of things to do???

Robbie's new Toy:




Well today Robbie finally picked up his new toy a
'08 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 4x4
He's very happy!!

Mayerthorpe:

Our last road trip we went west. The road took us to Westlock Ab.

We thought that we'd go see where they make Leaman trikes.

Once we got there we found out they are now being

made in the USA.

Since we were that far west we thought that we'd check out

Mayerthorpe Ab.

This is near where the 4 Mountie were killed. They have recently

put up an memorial for them there.

It was a very sombering to be standing there knowing that

these men and many others have lost their lives

protecting ours.

What a great country that we live in.

To know the freedoms that we have

in life and that we are being protected by these

hounourable men and women.

(the police services and the military members)

The New Photographer:















Well Ladies and Gentlemen....I just thought that I'd post a few photos that I am learning to take with the new camera the Robbie bought me....there are a ton of things to learn with this camera..I got a Nikon D-60 a few weeks back....I think have take about 600 photos already...just having a hoot taking photos...I hope that one day I'll be able to take as good of photos as my dad.

NIKON D60


This is a photo from my new camera that Robbie bought for me this weekend in Moose Jaw. It is a Nikon D60. It is a smaller version of what my Dad has for his camera. But as you can see I can now take photos like he does with his camera. This flower is one of many that are in my Mom's flower gardern. One day my photos will be a great as his I hope

Rock Band

Well he finally got it and he's very happy now!

Thump Thump ThumpThump

so I guess that all that counts eh!

Baby Kail's Blankie:

This photo above is the start of Kail's blankie from auntie.

It doesn't look like much and I wondered if it would turn out.

After spend a couple hours sewing it together and then

A couple of hours clipping it. My hands were very tired and sore.

Still not sure if it would turn out.

The above photo is the end result of the 2 hours of clipping shaking out

and washing. Turned out the way it was supposed too.

I liked making this one. It was easy!!

Ready to make another one soon.

This the close up of what it looks like...I use "Peter Rabbit" flannel

FUN FUN!!
