I love these guys!!!!!!!!

Colin and Justin's Home Heist - on HGTV!!!

Well, I love Colin more - he's the one on the left. :D


Thursday and Friday...

Jenny says this is turning into my weather report - hahahahaha.
Well, if you DON'T live in the Vancouver area, like perhaps
KUALA LUMPUR!!!!!!!, you might appreciate it. :D

Anyway....
We had a snowfall warning Wednesday night - here's how much we got - hahahahahah.


I love just a light dusting. Whew!


And this jumbo jet looked very impressive from the car - looks fairly boring here. :D



Our roofs are being replaced! This is some of the "action".


Last Monday...


RR and I going along River Road - AGAIN! One of my favourite scenic routes.
I think this is the HUGEST eagle's nest we have ever seen! I love it!

Here is a closer shot - click on it and see it much larger. Awesome, really!
Wonder if anything is in it yet. :D

Background

Ok, I tried The Cutest Blog on the Block for the backgrounds and found this one. Not supposed to be St. Patrick's Day background, just one that is nice but not over the top. It will keep me going until I have time to figure out how to make my own.  :D

Saturday

Mount Baker... view from Ray and Barb's kitchen...
it was a hazy day so it's difficult to see it...
DON'T FORGET you can click on the pictures to see them bigger.




He's baaaaaaackkkk......

My new best friend....

This is my new 1 terabyte (1000 Gigs) hard drive that I now use to back up my computer. Wow! Thanks, guru.  :D  I now have TIME MACHINE running again after months. So, if I screw something up, I should be able to fix it by dragging out a file in the archives. Woo!

Still changing the blog colour - need to figure out how to put a simple background there - argh!

Testing...

Just thought I'd try something different with the look of my blog. Wish I knew more about fixing the background, but I figure I learned how to change the template and change the colour. I'll have to get time to try and learn more. :D

Randomness ... but not really...

Aw, come on, they're cute! :D



Back to my old stomping grounds walking to work.... buds are on the trees....



Someone actually names their house here....


My favourite tree - at the beginning of its cycle...


The Oak Corridor in early morning....



On the way home by the old airport....

Granville Mall!

Hadn't been on Granville Mall for eons! As we crossed on Robson I looked south and thought "something is wrong here" - it just looked weird! Then I realized the trees were all gone!  THEN I saw the tree stumps - what the hell is up with THAT! If you're going to chop the tree down why wouldn't you just chop the stump right to the ground.  Holy cow - this looks so ridiculous!


And where the hell did the Capitol 6 theatres go!!!!?????

I really must get out more and see what's going on out there. :D

Earth to Lorri.....


Come in, Lorri.  :D   I think she's sleeping with her eyes open....

This is Lorri Troughton, my friend. She's a photographer! And one day perhaps she'll get her web site finished!!!!!!  Meantime, her daughter Kara is an artist and her web site is here:


and she has a showing at the Starbucks on Cambie and 19th in Vancouver. :D

Spring...



It was a very nice and sunny day today. This is the North Shore.
Headed to the Naam for some grub with Tam. :D

Tribute to Ray...



Yep, we were back on River Road today. This tugboat went by and the WAVES were INCREDIBLE! Unfortunately, I was driving and didn't have my camera ready. So when we got to WalMart I checked and, sure enough, there it was still coming down the river. But by this time it was slowing down and the waves were not as incredible. DAMN! But I thought I'd post it anyway and add a theme Ray did in the summer for the Hockey Night in Canada theme contest. I still say his was the best!!!!!!

Facing east....


Yep, that would be facing east this afternoon - nice sunshiny day....



A nice little nook at a west facing window.....

Tonight about 4:45.

Love how it's getting lighter earlier and staying light later..... woo hoo!

Ok, that's what I've been doing for the past 3 days!  Sleeping. Sick as a dog!  Who knew dogs got that sick! A bad cold, but I'm feeling better today, thank heavens!  (I like my cute little sleeping cow.  hahahah)

Last time I posted was Monday and I saw the overturned tanker. Too bad that picture wasn't better, but, oh well... Then Tuesday was supposed to be another dump of about 10 cm of snow, so I wasn't very excited. Here's how it turned out:



Not too bad! And then on Wednesday we had this:



That was taken at 4:51 p.m. It wasn't really that blue or night-looking. My iPhone seems to like to add a blue "filter" sort of effect to darker photos.

Anyway, then I got sick Thursday and haven't been outside the house door for nearly 72 hours. Yikes!
