Marilyn really gets into our bookfair themes!
And we love it!

Would you believe ... an eraser!?!? 
Sure don't make them like they used to.

One of the butterflies still hanging around my flowers.

Sorry ... some days are just not good
photo op days ...  fell asleep too early
and when I woke up, took my yogourt out,
and realized that I didn't have a picture yet!
So ... this is it!

September 17 -- Troy's 20th birthday! Done with teenagers!

Berries on a bush at Don & Grace's cabin

This little guy curled up into a ball when we paid too much attention to him

September 16 -- Our anniversary!

Saw this as Fran and I walked down Graham Avenue this afternoon ...

This guy had found something to eat on the grass in
a little park just outside of Lac du Bonnet

I wish we'd had shoes like this growing up!

Happy Birthday Fran!
These two also celebrated a very
significant anniversary this month!

All the new shoes waiting for their first day of school!

Always find it amazing how quickly this scene changes ...
took this one at 7:46:34 and ...

 turned to the east and took this one at 7:46:46 and ...

turned back to the west and took this at 7:47:26!

So we went to watch Brian race again.
Eight  laps into the race (sorry Brian, thought I
was counting),  as I'm waiting for him to round
the corner again for more pictures  ... and waiting ... waiting ...

Let's put it this way ... Conrad and I had the opportunity to go
explore the Gimli Marina while Brian was in emergency.

Displaying the medal he earned ...
 a sling and Crash 2011!
One broken collar bone for Brian.
Very thankful it wasn't worse.

A really big spider hanging out on
the verandah as I was trying to clean it.

Troy ran out of time while doing
some night writing for me. Hmmm ...

One of the many
spiderwebs that
 seem to be in abundance at
out place
these days.
This almost looked like a scene from another country through my lens
