Beautiful People

I'm related to all these young ladies and I'm proud of it. We get to stay in touch via the Internet. The WWW is the best in my books. Just glad to living in this age of technology. Just hope I can keep up with it.
I'd post pictures of my nephew's too. (6 of them) But, I don't have any current pictures of the young gentlemen.

Tim Hortons call

This is sort of funny.

Kirk and I are in the shop working. He is welding and I'm cutting aluminum. I'm almost done my part of the job but we ran out of material just awhile ago. Anyway, back to the call.

The phone rings and since we have "caller ID" Kirk can see it is Tim Hortons. They only call when they need you to come into work. I thought the man was going to have a panic attack. He excitedly says "It's Tim Hortons! What do you want me to say? You're not here!"

I quickly calmed him down and took the phone. It was obvious he did not want me to go into work. Yes, they did need someone to come in. I gave a short explanation I was busy and that was that. Kirk is now relieved that he has me for the day and his comments are - why don't you quit?

I'm not going to give up yet, because there are still some good days and I'm starting to enjoy working with certain people. Besides, if I quit, I'd be right back to - needing to get out of the house a few days a week.

The funny part is; Kirk's reactions when we sees "Caller ID" showing - Tim Hortons.
I guess you'd have to be there.

Mary Kay Session

OK, I did the "Before and After" with Mary Kay.
So, what do you think?


Kirk wasn't crazy about it. His comment was "too much makeup".
I just want to get rid of the wrinkles on my neck. High collars and turtle-necks work. Or, resign to the fact, I'm just getting old.

Engaged to be Married

This is great news!
When and where is unknown to me.
Happy for them all and looking forward to the Wedding Day.
(I believe they are planning a double wedding)
Karlis and Jacalyn (niece)
Justin and Natasha (niece)
I got to witness and record this proposal.

This is one time they are all together in

Hot Water!
Congratulations!

Busy (American) Beaver

Kirk was out in the shop at 5:00 am trying to get something done before people arrive needing something fixed/built.

Today was not the day to get any steps built. The first customer arrived at 6:23 am and left at round 9:00 am. Then, they just keep arriving or calling. To top it off, Kirk offered his welder-friend the use of his equipment because his friend's equipment wasn't powerful enough to do the job.

Why did I know this would tie him up some more. Kirk assured me this morning, his friend wouldn't need any help. Wrong.

Around and around we go. It is just after 4:00. I know Kirk - he is tried and hungry now (I did feed him an omelet at 10:00 am) and will stay out there with the "evening/night" person until the job is done. (yes we know for most, it is still afternoon)
