2009 Christmas Tree

Tamara did a great job!!!!! :)

Then they were green........

Christmas Day at 1:04 a.m. I saw the damn rings changing colours - blue, yellow, red, green, white - but by the time I could stop the car anywhere they went back to green only. ARGH! Like that stupid frog in the Bugs Bunny cartoon where he sings "Hello my baby, Hello my honey...." but as soon as someone watches him he just sits there. :)

One of these days!!!!!!!!!!!

Red...

Finally! Some action with the Olympic rings out at YVR. They have been plain white for months and Monday they were red, Tuesday they were green, and tonight (Wednesday) they were red again. I can't get close enough from the road to get a decent shot and I was too lazy to get out of the car at 12:45 a.m.!!! I'll try for the green tomorrow!

Grey.........

Went to the dentist - Pacific Spirit Dental Clinic at UBC - go there!!!!!!!!!!! Dr. Schmidt ROCKS! As do all the staff members.

On the way home - foggy - this is the Olympic Oval while we can still get close enough to see it. :)

At least there isn't all the snow we had last year - yay!!! Maybe I can just stay home for a few days and enjoy the time off!

Holy Smoke!

Since the weather has been ugly and rainy and windy I haven't been walking as much. One can get VERY lazy that way! :)

Been listening to lots of Christmas music, sending some Christmas cards, playing Secret Santa and all that stuff. Great fun!

Enjoying the lead up to Christmas and time off to be lazy and hang. :)

Tree hug.........

Well, that's what it looks like.

Another red tree I love.

Love this song and the drummer and the guitar player!!!!!!!!

And the trumpet player, of course ........... :)

Desi would have loved them all, too.

Blogs are useful!

I was trying to remember when I bought my shower curtain and had no clue - then I remembered my blog - hahahaha. Great to keep a record of those IMPORTANT events in life - ROFL!

Went on an afternoon drive a few weeks ago. This is the Skytrain Bridge to Surrey with the Port Mann in the background.

Make like a tree, and leave............

Lovely trees outside our office and an update on the vines across the street. :D

I am so bad...........

Too busy working and just hanging out on Facebook. It's just easier, I guess, and everyone is there.

No one gives a shite about the blog. :)

But I have been ordered to update. :)

I am quite enjoying the autumn, with all its lovely colours!

And, of course, reading!

Who REALLY needs their eyes checked????????!!!!!!!

Better avoid New West Wal-Mart for glasses. :D

Richmond Community Gardens - August 3rd

So many lovely colours. (Click on photos for larger view.)

Holy shite, I missed my bloggiversary!

Yep, it was a year ago on Sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't post as often as I did initially, what with the surgery and working and everything, and how many pictures can I take down Oak Street!? :D

I shall endeavour to post more regularly. It's not that I don't want to, but I have so many other distractions. Two of the latest being Facebook (hanging with friends and family) and Twitter (just being a knob - hahahahahaha).

Thanks to everyone for the kind cards, well wishes, for the two lovely plants, the food basket, and the several Starbucks cards! You are too kind!

Yikes!

Two and a half hour line-ups for a free Skytrain ride at the Waterfront station!!!!????

Are you NUTS!!!!!!!!!!???????????

:D

I will take the option of watching my little Skytrain video - and it'll be a long time before I go for a ride on it if the traffic is this bad to get on! Holy cow! :D

Eagles....

These are in downtown Vancouver - more of the "Eagles in the City" project to raise money by the Lions Club of BC. You can also buy chocolate eagles for $10 each - 100% of proceeds go to children with disabilities. They would be a great gift, I think. :D

Thanks for taking these pictures, Tamara.

Then we were in Steveston the other day .....

Not much new...

Poured buckets this evening. Then the sky was a wild yellow-orange in the west. Tried to capture it, but it's a bit lacking. It looked pretty good at the time. You had to be there. :D

Still recuperating at home. Can't drive for another week. Went for a walk in Steveston on Thursday morning. Saw this heron. We were way up on the pier and he was way down there, but he seemed afraid as we got closer. Which was pretty funny. He's cute - love the tracks in the sand....
