Grant Imes 1923-2010

Fondly remembering Uncle Grant Imes - Peggy's brother, of Calgary - who went to sleep Christmas Eve & didn't wake up Christmas morning. We will miss his wit & wry sense of humor.
He was a WW ll vet who carried shrapnel in him til his death. His rest now is well earned.

A Day with Jaren & Landen

Today Jaren & Landen came for the day. We did all kinds of things but while playing with the kittens Jaren said it was the most fun at our house EVER!

Boys, kittens & boxes make for lots of fun
Don't tell Angie I kept them in boxes all day! Ha! Ha!

Sheba & Jaren at the barn

Landen & Sam had a mutual admiration thing going!

Boys & their toys

This Grandma enjoyed getting primed for time with her grandsons at Christmas!

Come again soon guys.

Intrpoducing Sheba & Sam

Yesterday Murray's dad brought home some half grown kittens as our farm is not catless. Today Murray brought them to the house and they made themselves right at home. They are so tame & loveable.

Sheba & Me

Those of you who know me well will find this pic hard to believe but they even stole my heart. Mind you they went back to the barn after we had played with them for a few hours!

Celebrity Speakers

Last week while in Red Deer Murray & I were privileged to listen to several motivational speakers at a seminar. The first one was Hayley Wickenheiser, who was terrific and spoke without notes for 45 minutes. The last one was none other than Robert Herjavec from Murray's favorite TV show Dragon's Den.

We were able to greet Robert & have our picture taken with him. He is a very personable man who hasn't forgotten his humble beginnings and counts his blessings every day.

Visit with Gene

Last week Murray & I did a road trip to Regina for Agribition then on to Winnipeg to visit Gene and his boys.

The Grandsons Oct. 13-18

Oct 13-18 I was blessed to be able to care for our Grandsons while Kim & Yan were cruising in the Caribbean.

Mischief is on its way!

Tussling with Grandma

More fun

Nic & I baked cookies. He was really good at rolling out the dough.

Nic loves soccer and runs non-stop.

Nic wanted his picture taken beside the big tree in the woods.

They found a favorite play spot with big fallen logs.

Mr. Independence! (Lucas)

I had such a great time. The boys were so good & Kim & Yan said they had the best vacation ever so I guess it was win/win all around except for Murray who had to stay home, cook for himself and combine!

Visit to Gene's

Gene's 70th birthday July first took Mom & me to Winnipeg

Gene, Cam,me, Brad & Mom

While in Wpg I was able to reconnect with a childhood friend, Mary, who I went to school with from grades 1-6. That was too many years ago but we had a great time!
