i have some new pictures of dorrie:)

i forgot to post these earlier in the week when bryce sent them to me.
here she is on one of her daily walks:

i love this action shot:

this would make a perfect cover for a christmas card " our new grand-daughter dorrie wants to wish you the best of the holidays!! "

and finally, a picture of brycearoni with a cowboy hat on !!! isnt HE cute? i dont know why he has such a stern look on his face!?

ok, its sunday night and i actually get to sleep in till 5:45 am tomorrow..wheeeee!! so much better than 4:30! hope this week goes by quickly!! i need to start christmas shopping on friday...yuck!

i graduated!!!

yes, my first part of my training is completed. i passed with the rest of my class. this means that i don't have to get up till 6 everyday. YEAH! getting up at 4:30am has been brutal. ok, im done whining! (/whine-off) monday should prove to be a very interesting day:)
Here is a picture of my class. (please remember, i was the second oldest person in the course)



so my hubby still isn't home from deer hunting, so im sitting here debating weather i should go shopping or sit on the couch for the day.

Its the third week of training

and my head is spinning!! however, I'm learning and managing to keep the majority of the material in my head. hard to imagine at my advanced age:)

not a lot has happened in my life except the fact that I missed the Trews last Wednesday night!! (entersympathyhere)it has been a real experience getting up at 4:30am to get to work by 6:45am. good thing i have a couple of ladies in my current car pool or i would probably be walking into the training room at the last minute.

so my highlights of the month of November happened all in the same day. first off, we had to go to Belleville on Saturday morning and arrived too early so Billy took me to the Tractor Store!!! I was in heaven!!!

then that night we went to Harlys garage and I got my picture taken on Harv's tractor. Wheee...it was a great experience:)


ok, next big event in the future is the Derek Downham show on December 22nd at the Elixir!!!!!!!!!! I cant wait to see D again!

Long time no update ...

Not a lot has been going in our household. The shed addition is almost complete...just a final coat of paint and its complete:)
This past weekend I borrowed the 4800 Nikon from work for a Halloween Party I was attending at the Merchant on Saturday night. Betablokka were playing, so I knew I couldn't miss this!!! I was dressed as the grim reaper and had a large heavy black robe with a matching hood:) My friend Judy was kind enough to offer to do my makeup...as well as lend me the costume. Didn't I look scary???



This costume rocked...Buddy dressed up as a penis:



I even found a few celebrities there...Elvis and Basketball Jones:



My date for the night got totally smashed, and I ended up driving his ass home. On my way home, I noticed that 'someone' had written something on my back window. Imagine my surprise when I got home at 2am and read "I only wish my wife was this dirty!" etched on the dew.

The next day was spent entirely cleaning my car. And taking pictures of the few plants in my gardens that hadn't been hit by frost yet. I wont bore you by posting them here, so if you really have a desire to see them, check out this link:

The next three weeks of my life will be spent in a training room, so the internet will probably be the furthest thing from my mind.
