DIY Olympics rings.........


Don't know where they sell these, but I've seen a few of them around in people's yards. They are cute.

Google Maps is good for something.........

The "old homestead" where we lived from 1974 to 1998! And it pretty much looked like this for the whole time except for the gate on the left side, that was never there. Desi and Tamara grew up here. I just dug these shots up on Google Maps tonight because what is here now is a new development of condos. I'll have to wait a few months for that view. But I wanted to save these shots - they must have been taken last summer because the weather isn't like this at the moment. :)


That part of the mountain in the background is "Sleeping Beauty". Rick and I disagree on which way she is facing. :) Still haven't found a reference for it.


The view to the west - we drove down this street thousands of times.......


And to the east - not as often....... although we moved about 8 blocks away in 1998 - down to 31st Avenue just off Fraser Street.

Cabeza Vainilla, Cabeza ordoba, Cabeza Chiapas - Feb 6/10


Cabeza, meaning "head" in Spanish. Big surprise! :)

I assume this one is Cabeza Vainilla - sounds like a girly name. Ordoba and Chiapas must be the guys!


The latest installation of Vancouver Biennale in Richmond. They are pretty huge!

Even little teardrops?


The day wouldn't be complete without Rick getting in on the action. :) Boys!
