Carole and I would like to wish our family and friends (both near and far).... a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 

Make a Smilebox greeting

Ireland (The Final Days)

Hello! Yes I finally made it back. I have been so busy that I haven't had a chance to get more photos on this site. I am getting so close to having them all put on.

This was our last day of site seeing in Belfast and out to the Giant's Causeway before leaving on the 27th and flying to Manchester England.

What can I say! It was a wonderful vacation. Now my thoughts are making their way to perhaps another holiday, this time perhaps to Southern Ireland!

For the last photos taken on our vacation CLICK HERE (Giant's Ring) and CLICK HERE (Giant's Causeway)

Ireland... Ahh... Ireland...

Ireland! What can I say! I think it is breathtakingly beautiful! No wonder they call it "The Emerald Isles". The green countryside is phenominal! Enjoy the photos as much as I did taking them.

Jolly Old "England that is"

Finally, I have been able to get a chance to post some of my England photos to my blog! Thanks to Shawna helping me out with getting them put into a bit better format so that you can see a lot more of them. I will be updating photos quite regularly so CLICK HERE and you will see some of photos taken pretty much every day that we were away. CHEERS!

Sunny South

I know....it's about time. I haven't had a chance to blog here...but I AM BACK!! Let's see ... where have I been. Well two weeks ago I made a trip down to Calgary and Donna and I visited The Big Rock just a few km west of Okotoks. Amazing to see how a glacier dumped this rock in the middle of nowhere!

This is not to be confused with "Da Rock"

Then it was off to The Saskatoon Farm which is just east of Okotoks across Highway 2. What an interesting place...and the food was yummy...no Donna, you can't eat that! It's fake! But the Saskatoon rice pudding was out of this world!

They had some great shops (even got a Christmas gift bought). Not bad!

Then I met the rooster! He thought he owned the place. Every once in a while he would start to crow. And yes....he is real!

No Donna, you can't be the Sheriff!

All in all it was a super weekend....you never know what you will find just a few miles from where you live!
