Thank you, John and Cherri

I'm sure glad that the Harley Davidson 'oil-can light set' gave you such a thrill and I can't wait to see pictures of it hanging in your pool room or outside in your bar this summer, but it was only a very small token of appreciation for having Tante Magda and me last week. From Dad's first surprise at seeing me (I don't know how you kept that secret so well), to the many guests you let tramp through your house -see Dad's 80th birthday pics on Facebook:

Story in the Snow

Once upon a time, in faroff Guelph, Ontario, Canada, a big black dog named Bear galloped to the rescue of what he thought was a helpless human in the snow. As he approached, he found that it was only Oma Marijke (visiting from faroff hot South Carolina) making snow angels!









By the way, it's hard to get photographs of snow to look as white as it really is, isn't it! This day was a little overcast, for sure but maybe if I studied my camera manual a bit more I'd have better results. Any tips anyone? ... OM
