Heifers out to pasture

Spring flowers & birds

The gold finches are pretty yellow again

Bulbs are flowering

Low on Oil

Olga's car suddenly was running out of oil.
Sue, a friend from church drove out to bring her some so she could make it to her weekend job.
Olga was a weekend at Camp as hostess.


We filled up 3x altogether 10 litres to make it home
the car is from 1992 almost 300.000km

Zeal for Teal

A scrapbooking & Cardmaking Pyjama partyA fundraiser for Ovarian cancer research
organized by a group called the sunflower seeds
I wore the best slippers (Olga's)

Lots of fun looking at pictures



A hall full of scrapbook stuff



Janet did my nails, usually I only clip them


Look at them Teal with a sunflower.

DQ celebration

We celebrated with a Dairy Queen blizzard
The end of "screen-free week" It wasn't always really screen free because at school they still watched movies.
