This is from my new computer.  Hopefully you can see this.

Picked up a laptop (last one I owned was given to me by my father – a 286 processor and heavy enough to be a boat anchor – but it worked for what I needed at the time).  This one is one of those Centrino Duo machines with 100 gig hard drive and 2 gigs of memory.  Lots of fun to try and get it up and running – but I think it will work.

Fun with the system!

Our local firefighters combine two processes into one.  The town checks the hydrants each year to be sure the system is working.  The volunteer firefighters open the hydrant, hook up a hose and practice spraying down fires.

Or maybe, as a service to local residents, its spraying a lawn with water. 

Or more probably, just for the fun, it’s spraying each other.

Oh, the fun of a summer evening in small town Saskatchewan.

By request!

The following pictures are presented for the grandparents and great grandparents! 

Our Grandson, Christopher, at Dore Lake in July.  Such a handsome young man at eight months old.

Paul and Ariss Sutherland with Kaleb.  Paul is my wife’s nephew.  They were through town within the last 24 hours.  A surprise visit — they are moving to Salmon Arm, BC from Thunder Bay, ON.  We’re glad they detoured through Kindersley. 

The Cleaning Bug!

I am a reforming administrator!

For years I have tried to get everything and everyone in order.  By that, I mean, I am a bit of a perfectionist.  One of my great loves in life is to sit in a chaotic room and turn it into something beautiful.

When my children were small I would take their plates from under their noses — just to make sure the table looks nice.  I still straighten out grocery shelves and put up litter!

But my good wife has tried to reform me.  So I do overlook rubbish and let the stocking clerk at the grocery store do their job.

But!!!  The last two days I attacked our “office.”  We moved it upstairs and in doing so I decided I didn’t want to move anymore than I had to.  So I tirelessly (OK, I was tired at the end of the day) sorted and threw out, filed and fussed. 

Now ’tis the end of the day.  And I am greatly refreshed.  Oh for another room to clean (spoken softly behind my wife’s back!!).
