• I am losing track of when I last wrote a blog.
  I really am not spending that much time on the computer lately. Check my mail, and even then do not read it all Life just seems to have a way of keeping the days flow one after the other. Lots of little things going on.
  On sunny days I just want to be outside, and have been visiting daughters. spent a great day with Sheilagh – and had a lovely surprise when Elmer showed up with his little garden shredder. The three of us had a ball that day chopping up a large amount of the branches and sticks in her compost pile.
  Another day I collected some of my plants and went over to Angela – cannot wait for them to work on the back beds, but her front one against the house was desparate too for something, so the two of us dug it up, added compost and planted all those plants that have been waiting so patiently to be put into a home. At least now it too looks welcoming, and as they grow larger, and the back becomes ready, many can be transplanted there.
  Grandson Grant celebrated his 19th, so we joined all the family, congregating at our favorite smorg, for a great dinner, going over to the house afterwards to eat cake and enjoy each other for a little longer.
  Sheilagh, Angela and I took advantage of a free sunny morning to go for that walk we keep promising to do. We chose Fish creek park, near Angela this time (will have an album to share later as I took my camera)

  
  

    Blue Heron in the park – a sight I never thought to see in this part of the world.

  
  

  The girls pushed me hard – did not think I would make it home again, but I did enjoy it. Will have to take Elmer there one of these days, as he has never been there. He treated himself to a new Kodak digital – 10x zoom. I wish I had borrowed it for that walk. I have been playing with it though, and do love that feature (as well as a couple of others it has) such an easy camera to work with, and it does take some great pics. He did offer to get me a different one too, but I have put way too much money in mine. I like it, but it has too many complicated menus to get to for me to truly use it to it’s best advantage. Guess I am a person that prefers simple. One of these days though – prorbably in about another year, I just may take him up on it and see what is available then that I would prefer. Meanwhile he has offered the use of his whenever I would like, and I just may take him up on that offer as time goes by!
