I am going to post favorite pictures of my kids and family here along with anything else I think is interesting for friends and family to see! 

This is the May 2009 Boy Scout camping trip to Wellesley Island State Park with one movie
clip for those who like kites.

I bought a house and 46+ acres in July 2008 - here are some in-progress remodeling pics with one video clip of my little waterfall.

I was back in Winnipeg for a weekend in Aug 2007.  I took a few pictures but mostly I was helping my older sister Joan do some work around the house and spending time with my dad (who passed away Dec 18, 2007 at the age of 93).

In 2007 - Zane was 13 and Max was 10. I took a few pictures of them in 'my' creek.

I was in California for a few days visiting Santa Barbara and the Channel Islands.  I took a few pictures of Santa Cruz Island.

We were at Cayuta Lake today (June 8, 2007) for a while in the kayaks.

We came back from Surfside Beach, SC to rain and snow in NY; if I post the pictures from the beach then maybe I won't think about the snow.  We were there for spring break - April 7-14, 2007

I managed to find time to visit Torrey Pines and Del Mar while in San Diego for a conference in Feb 2007. There are a few pictures of the coast at Torrey Pines.

I took a few pictures of the boys during Christmas break - 2006.

We finally got the tree-house built - June 2006. 

Zane played Hendrick in the Newfield Middle School play - Legend of Sleepy Hollow.  It was cute - I took a couple of pictures after the play.

I finally went camping at Cool Lea Campground beside Cayuta Lake which is about a 20 minute drive from my house.  I have a few pictures.

We just came back from camping in Maine - at Hermit Island - July 2005.

The boys and I went back to Winnipeg (Sept 2004) for my brother's wedding - I only have a couple of good photos - I really need a bigger memory card for my camera.  Then a couple of days after getting home - Max broke his arm - he is doing okay though. I had to put one picture of Max in his Halloween costume up - Zane did not want to put his on at the time.

Summer 2004 - the kids were out of school. I took a few days of vacation and I finally took a picture of the boys in their go-cart, plus we were at Joe and Jane's cottage and at Upper Treman hiking and in the pool.

We went to Upper and Lower Treman Park - since it was the first nice day this spring - 2004.  Their Pinewood derby was March 13, 2004. 

MJ and PM took some photos last summer at the pool that are cute.

Here are some pictures from Dec 2003. 

Here are some pictures of Zane and Max from spring 2003. 

Here are some pictures from summer 2002 when we were in Canada and then in Greenville, SC hiking and swimming. 

Here are some pictures of the boys from 2000 and 1999 and from their early years.  I will add captions some day!

I am going to post a couple of my favorite poems. To those special friends for whom these poems were written - if you recognize them and want me to remove them from here - you know how to reach me.

I am going to put my Dad's obituary here so I will always have it.
