Super Nova ?
Time for a few questions.
What did you think of when you first read my blog header ?
Probably some rock group... and here I was thinking of a '72 Chevy with a 409 Rat under the hood!!
I'm just a crazy car thinker I guess, but I want you all to tell me what car is Identifiable to you as the good ole days.. Maybe a Mg or a Honda Rabbit ..I was just wondering- When i was young I used to get the keys to my dads old 59 chev, Whow what a ride !!!

Conversions from Graveyard shift ...
Well here I am and it's high time I wrote a New blog here as posting has sure slowed down when I was on the Graveyard shift, but now we all got converted to day shift for tommorrow and I'm trying to go to sleep but to no avail..yet and its after 1:00 am !!
I guess we all have some ajustments that are not exactly planned for but we make it through them just the same. I tried counting sheep and figuring out my birthday age in diffrent years, remembering what colors my old cars were and the ages of them when I bought them but nothing would bore me to sleep, so I figured I might as we check out the "tree dubyas" you know this time consumer www but we're supposed to use less paper now..right ?
Our temperatures have moderated to milder or normal and I like that..hope your's have too. At night I could always tack on another -8 degrees so it's nice to see only -5 or single digets for a daily hi.
The pics are beautiful Jen and I found our camera in front of me today(in it's case) so I hope to take a few pics to post okay ?
I have to hit the hay Now ..so wish me luck at nodding - off

**** * Snowflakes * *****
Well, we must have blinked 'cause over the weekend our weather has
deterated to something of a winter wonderland.
Paige would you ever love it here as all the kids have thier toboggans out and
are making snowmen on the lawns !!
But then we all can't have black=ice and crashes for desert..ha ha Satire their !!!
We were driving to the store for a few things and just noticed everyone was driving much more cautious as it is SUNDAY AND the sanding truck is over worked and not much sanding is happening if you get the drift..so it's either stay home or be nice and you'll get home in one piece.. actually a good motto to live by any day of the year.
I wish it would never snow here - I even told Mom, I could have rain and never complaine on bit but that's what we have here today == will report soon on the Sunny Alberta Weather Report and News of the day. ha

rEpOrT on Knee after 50 hrs of graveyard sHiFt
Hello U Out there in Never Never land!!
We'LL, I'm talkin to ya so I made it through
a rather tedious 1st week of scaffolding / miscellanius tending duties
after the medical sabatical of the T.K.R. and I gained a lot of
confidence in knowing I still can function and keep up to
everybody too.
I stayed near the ground for the first few days and lastnight I ventured
twice up to the top of a 25 foot scaffold and did some
work up there, needless to say it was the climb that felt
risky , once I was up there the work was actually easier !!
The knee feel a little stressed today but I have two days off
so I will rest and excercise it and everything will be fine
and dandy by monday night!!!
but I deffinatly will be keeping my eyes open for a job
change as this is just to good to wreck on some stuppid difficult
job.
I should go now as I hear a birdy calling

I figured I should be able to improvise for a few weeks till my knee is a little stronger but it's getting better daily now.(I can cycle for hours and walk almost anywhere so I'm off to try my new wings)
..You have to do what your Dr. says ?? nothing to lose and everything to gain -- why not get paid for my excercise ??

SUN after at Last COLD RAIN !!!
It has seemed like a eternity
since it was warm around here, I'm starting to wonder
if the white stuff was far behind.
But it was a bright day today
and everyone was chipper
as they went about they're daily errands.
I don't see many leaves that havent fallen
already but JoAnne's boston Ivy
on the back fence has turned
such a beautiful shade of red
that I had to share it with you too.
that pic of the deck is a before pic
as we are planning on putting
a pergola up soon,
(spring is soon)
and now well have a before and after
to look at.
I have to run now as I hear a suduko
calling...lol

Western Autumn Images
Well..... here we go, it's only in the middle of September here in the west and everyone is doing the harvesting thing --
bringing in the seeds for another year.
Here are a few images I took yesterday
and now that I have figured out how to do a few computer things,
I always loved the change of season but hated what was to come !!!!!
As you can see we have very poor poor farmers who I'm sure can hardly afford their Hawian vacation this year - ah ha.
Just kidding they probably are going to the Carribean this year . ha ha
But it is fun seeing the Harvest happening and all the farmers markets on thursday, everyone getting stocked up with fresh veggies.
Hoping everyone has a great thanksgiving full of fun on October 9th -- gotta love those foul suppers or are they called fall suppers, our church used to have a supper that had three sittings that lasted till late in the evening - eveyone was very full for sure..by that time .. ha
Gotta run
