SO MUCH TO BE THANKFULL FOR

Claes and I had an fantastic time over in Powell River spending time with the entire Petri Family and eating so much turkey..............Saturday storm  was incredible and surprisingly nothing got broke.  The hydro flickered a number of times but all stayed light up.  It was great to share early Christmas with everyone.


Hope you look at the picture gallery to see how the little ones have grown.  This is Bradon and Annika
Jacob, Mat and Annika




We are pleased  to share with you that Ryan and Sophie, Angus, and Stella are expecting a brother or sister in June 2011!!!!   Wow...........Grandpa is pretty proud of his brood.  We stopped at the view point in Powell River where the family has a plaque honouring Great Grandma Marianne..............we told her the news and she whispered back..............yes I know.   She is pleased as well.

What a whole lot to be thankful for!!!!

Grandpa Claes and Grandma Lue

MEMORIES……….are made of this!

You know how it is-- if you sleep during the day --night comes sleepless! Not wanting to waste the day sniffing and drinking tea .. i do prefer coffee……I attempted to keep myself busy with my chores. My interest quickly waned and I found myself at my desk……I began sorting through the small cupboard that acts as our filing cabinet.
