It is a white Christmas this year. We have had snow fall every day this week. Portland & Vancouver are nearly brought to its knees. Isn't the snow beautiful?
Merry Christmas! to ALL.

Father's Day

Fathers Day we finished Connors Pinewood derby car. It has lots of Harley Davidson Stickers all over it. We sure had fun. Connor, Maya, and Phobe all just got a new belt in Karate. Watch out they are lethal........ lol
Then we went to Lia's for a barbaque and played on the swingset. Yum.














Thanks to all who put something on their blogs this week.
Ian, We love you. Here is a big hug from all of us.

Connor




The young man without a mask is Connor, Tina's son. He is not into soccer but fencing is fun.








He also enjoys karate. Mr. "K" does make it fun and teaches them a lot. Connor really gets into it as you can see.









Here is Connor and Grandpa filing the fenders of "Connor's" Pinewood derby car.

I remember my Dad helping me with my Pinewood derby car and helping my sons with theirs. I wish I were close enough to all of my grandchildren to spend the time with them one on one.

EFT is something I would not have believed. I tried it to be supportive to my wife and was hooked on it the first day. I found that I could have a big effect on my feelings, emotions, and my physical condition in a matter of minutes. If a migraine is sneaking up on me and I could either take drugs, or do EFT I choose EFT because it is faster and more effective than any of the drugs I have relied on for years.

I use EFT on frustration, back pain, asthma attacks, and migraines. Try it for yourself. You do not have to believe in it for it to work. You do have to listen to a good explanation and go through the motions while focusing on the pain/anger/frustration/or tenseness that is causing you distress.

Here is a youtube video that I just happened on that is excellent. There is a lot more to EFT but this is a great start in the basics. With just what you learn here I started to be better off with less stress, pain, and anxiety.

If you want, I will talk to you more. I want everyone I care about to give it a try, but I don't want to push it on anyone.

Hooked

modest beginings



I am learning how to post to my blog and upload pictures. I don't have time to mess with this much but will learn as I do it. Two years have gone by since I first looked to blogs as a way to publish ( share) information and pictures.

My Daughter and daughter-in-Law have shared some really nice photos on their blogs. I would like to do half a well.

Thank you, Chantel and Tammy for sharing the pictures of your families.
