its not always as cold as it has been this winter, our summers are warmer around 60 - 69 farenheight. We are settled in almost, just got the conservatory to empty out yet of garage stuff, but we need to sell out trailor that takes up the whole of our garage, including 2 motorbikes..we will get there...the house is big, much bigger than the small flat we moved from..

Amazing pictures!! you gave me the lil' short mental escape that momentarily needed! 
thx for sharing everyone!
This was your idea. I didn't think of it as therapeutic but when you mentioned it, I realized I'd had a little off time looking at them, too. Thanks for getting this started. I've enjoyed the pics, too.
Blessings

Pauline

Denise, Payton is adorable, LOL but if we're going to have a cute relative contest, i might have to join in
Payton is so cute Denise! It is so neat to be a proud grandma! Blessings, Pauli
on 1/22/10 just before i was to go thru a trial in my life, i looked up to the sky.... and saw this Perfect, Beautiful, Rainbow!!! Amazing how it prepared me, and gave me the strength which i needed.... Aww... B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L
Sarah, that's an amazing picture. I loved it. Your comments reminded me of a time when I lived in southern California (Belmont Shores, near Long Beach), and was going through a major crisis in my life. I wandered out to the beach that night, and stood there looking out at the ocean. I was thinking of how it would solve all my problems if I just walked in, started swimming, and never turned back. I suddenly focused on the area where the waves were breaking, and saw an amazing sight. The red tide was in, and there was an eerie phosphorescent glow every time the waves broke. I stood there for the longest time, watching this beautiful sight, and forgetting for the time to dwell on my problems.
That beautiful sight seemed to me to be a sign from God, and broke my focus on my problems. I turned around, walked back home, and here I am all these years later.
Thanks for the picture, and for bringing back a memory.
Pegetha... i know Belmont Shore, and i too have some similar stories from before, So..... Thank God for red tides and phosphorescent glows!! (the vision of what you described is amazingly wonderful!) Isn't God's timing is perfect! There's so much Beauty everywhere..... we just need to open our eyes to it.
Thanks for sharing that..... it touched my heart
That is beautiful. It's perfectly framed and, well, the lighting is breathtaking. Is it untouched or did you run it by Photoshop on the way here?
Either way, I think it's the prettiest thing posted, with the exception of my wife's pic of the Inside Passage, of course.
Thanks
thanks Tex, glad you liked it.... actually i took that pic with my (not so good cell phone! lol...) but i guess i got lucky! actually i took about 8-10 shots (i was so awed by the perfect rainbow) and just picked out what i thought to be the best shot
and hey..... who can compete with your wife's pic of Inside Passage!!?? those pics of yours were all very inspiring to me...... (my lil' getaway!)
Awesome picture, Sarah! Thanks for sharing! God is awesome! and exactly like you said, His timing is perfect! So often if we will just open our eyes He has his hand right where we need it!
Pauli
Since most of us are tired of cold, snow, and gloomy weather, I thought I would post this.
My cat was snoozing in the sun last summer, not a care in the world.
HANG ON, WARMER WEATHER WILL RETURN!!!
Yeah, yeah, I know, my grass needed mowing. So sue me.
Pegetha
AAAaawwwwwwww what a cute kitty, well chilled out eh... lol..we are heading for more snow
Pauline
Lovely day for a motorbike run. It was so lovely and warm, its been the first time i have been on my bike since september last year..
Great pic...still looks a bit cold.Hope you hade fun.Nice getting back to our ol ways ...ay ?
Can i hop on the back!?? love the feeling of being on a bike (as a passanger of course! lol...) glad you got to have a run! tha'll put a smile on anyones face! the pic is great! thx for sharing
Sarah yeh you can jump on the back lol... where do you want to go? heehee the weather is sure warming up and is great for bike runs...bbbbbrrrrooooommmmmm bbbbbbrrrrrrrroooooooommmmmmm............yehhhhhh....
Hey guys say hi to 'Toula'. the newest edition to our family heehee.. wee p
Here are a few photos .. . 1st, I cut my hair. . took off a LOT. . .
Before
After
And finally the tattoo!
It's still a little bit pinker than it will end up, just got it done yesterday, but I'm really happy with how it came out.
Interesting tat. I hope you cleared it with the doc, first. And what is it, exactly? Something I should recognize or something that means something personal to you.
Also an interesting move with the hair. Seems most woemen want to let it grow for awhile after the Big C. I'm proud.
Finally, where the jokes?
Tex, I did get it approved by doc first, and it is a personal tat. Symbolizes life, and even though there's some pretty nasty stuff that can happen, there's still some beauty to be found. That, and orchids are my favorite flowers I sketched it and the design, short of the actual inking is all mine
As for the cut, I've never lost my hair entirely, it's just thinned out with different meds. But about every 2 to 3 years I have let it grow, and then cut it and donated it to Locks of Love. It was time to do that again
I promise to post some new jokes asap!
well i guess this picture answers my question!! yes you do grease, grease proof paper huh!! yum yum lol... 
and here is the final product. ... hhhmmmm not a bit like the picture on the box, but hey i did try... my son will enjoy the pickings lol...
LMAO its a kitchen disaster.... aint no goods in the kitchen, need to bann myself from there for a while i think lol..
No, no.
I realized it was food. I just couldn't tell from the photo what it was. Kind of looked like sausage? Was it home made?
LMAO hey thats ok it does not look like food!!! lol.. but it tastes good though... it was chocolate brownies and it was whole, but i had to cut it off grease proof paper that it got stuck too... one of my many kitchen creations lol.. and sure wont be my last!!
Okay, got it. Bet they taste just as good no matter what they look like. I've had a few of my own baked goods (and other dishes) turn out unrecognizable but tasty.
4th of July- our.... Patriotic homemade Tin Can, cookie canister!
And, our Donation can for the 'Light the Night Walk' for: (LLS)....
Sarah, this is so cute. You are very talented! Are you doing the LLS run and when is it? Blessings!
What a precious child, Tony! You must be so proud. Is this your first grandchild?
Pegetha
Hi Pagetha
Yes her name is Mia and she is my first grandchild. It must be confusing for her as I've gone from Mr Baldie Man to getting my hair back in about a month. LOL tho she still has more hair than Granpa.........Tony
I'm pretty sure she doesn't understand the whole hair thing, yet. I'm sure you're just that old guy mom lets pick me up every now and then, so far. But she knows you belong to her...so what else can matter?
Not as cute as my granddaughter was, but she's a cutie.
Blessings
Tony... what a Precious lil' Angel you have!! Congratulations! aren't Grandkids the greatest!!!
Hi Pauli! well, i can't take any credit for the Patriotic Robot, my daughter made it! lol... but, i did make the LLS donation can! Yes, i'm doing the Light the Night Walk again this year. It will be on Sept. 19th (we walk though... not a run) i'm afraid i couldn't hang for that! lol... i'll let you know when i have my page all ready, still need to work on it.
Hahaha Sarah, I have that saying on a stickynote on my desk at work. I love it
I love it too.... i'm thinking of getting those Letter-transfers and working this into one of my picture walls at home. 
reminders are awesome! i surely need them.... lol
OK everyone. Many of you probably did not see this on the parents board, so I will share it here as well.
This is Half Dome in Yosemite.
Now, here is my son Sam on top of Half Dome
Sam was DX with ALL on 1/2004, completed treatment 5/2007, and is now 3 1/2 years OT. 21 and a college senior this year.
That hike is a 4800 foot vertical climb, the last 600' or so is hanging onto steel cables embedded into the rock to get to the top. Took him about 10 hours round trip (including an hour up at the top).
Hoping these pictures are going to show up.
Congrats to you and your son Sam! What an acheivement! he must've felt like he was ontop of the world!
thank you for sharing these wonderful pictures with us! Yosemite is so beautiful....
I am posting this for our dear friend Mimi....
I thank all who have participated with this, and I love you all dearly!!
The Traveling Tee has traveled 20,000 miles!!
Mimi
