More snow coming

Wow, we just finished cleaning up 40 cm of snow and there's another 10 on the way. The dogs can't patrol anymore, the snow is too deep, the banks are four feet high in the back and five feet and higher in places in the front. Jake, thinks snow is great and loves to frolic in it, and of course, so do his brothers but even they find the amount of snow to be a little frustrating. I'm sure they'll be happy if it hardens up enough for them to walk on. More photos of the baby are attached to this and a couple of the older boys too. I hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoy the dogs.

An Inspiration

Now that we have so much more time on our hands we have found ourselves closely watching the American Presidential primaries and have been very impressed with Senator Obama. We both find his speeches to be uplifting and very inspirational, he does indeed sound like a man interested in change. Whether or not he can actually accomplish that if he gets elected is another story. He definitely knows how to make a speech. Something that our politicians are sorely lacking.

Puppy Play

We thought you would like to see what the new puppy is up to, so here he is chewing his favorite toy!

We're parents again!

Yes, we have welcomed another baby to our family...I would like to introduce everyone to "Jake" He's a Golden retriever and should grow from this little bundle of joy to a sixty or seventy pound beauty. He's already become very popular with the other members of the pack and doesn't appear to be scared of anything and is quite happy to play fight with his brothers.

Too funny to ignore

A fiddling Premier, what will they come up with next. Politics down here are something to behold.

Pondering

You get to do a lot of that when you're retired, I mean really retired, not just in between jobs. I am retired..no more paid work for me. So I have time to ponder lifes little intangibles and of course much more lofty pursuits, so as I wander about the internet reading newspapers from all over the world I occasionally run into little gems that answer some of my more niggling questions, like why is the Middle East always in some sort of turmoil and you find that history offers some answers, and here in a nutshell is part of the problem.

Good Time to get out

I guess it's official now, should make the parking lot outside the loading dock an interesting place. You can read about it here
