Sleigh Ride & Northern Babies



Granny & Mrs. Hvwiggins



Yesterday, we enjoyed a sleigh ride at Els' place out in Nasonworth. We all loaded onto the sleigh, hauled by horses Ben and Belle. About 1/4 km on this amazing trail through the woods, the sleigh broke. We think it might have had something to do with all the 'weight' on the sleigh, not sure...LOL...Anyway, we got off and started walking the trail, while Els' husband Don saddled up the one horse sleigh and for the next two hours, he took us on an even better sleigh ride. We had a blast. And came inside to a delectable lunch that we all contributed to. Thanks, Els, for a great day.

Last night, R & S and Doug and I went to Patrick's 50th birthday party at Jeannie's. Quite a time. We were all locked in her house for the party. (Literally, I guess, we were picked up for the party and didn't leave til the party was over). Ingenious, Jeannie.

This morning found Doug and I over at R & S for breakfast with R & J. Randy prepared a delectable brunch and Sandra decorated. We call it the Techie Breakie, because we continually get on-line and Google information. I got the crowd introduced to Photo Lab on R's Mac computer, and we laughed out loud hilariously as we took pics of each other. We're all looking forward to the next Techie Breakie.

Must go finish a valentine supper I'm making for my sweetie. Tacos in the living room. Then to Max & Dale's to play Dominoes.

Sunday takes us up to Southhampton and over the dale to Temperance Vale churches, as we sing and preach there. Then to Max's parents for lunch. Then up to Bristol, to take part in Afton's 6th birthday celebration -- a TEA PARTY birthday. I've got ten china teacups all packed and ready to go, including a teapot. "I'm a Little Teapot" used to be the song the parents used to make me sing all the time, and look -- now my granddaughter is celebrating the teapot in her 6th birthday. "Put on Another Pot of Tea" is a song I love, and hope to record someday (or at least sing somewhere). Perhaps it will get in the Archives of Canada as well.

Well, I'm rambling again -- time to go eat and play.
