Welcome To "Ever Ready"

Finally I have launched into the "blogging world"! I know it has taken long enough, but what an opportunity to share like interests with others. And just what are my interests? Ahh....photography...YES ....which I will begin to share with you....and golfing....hard to share that one, but no less enjoyable. Thanks for visiting, and hopefully I will be able to spend some time in getting this up and running....hmm...kind of like a battery...hence the name Ever Ready.

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)

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!
