1 month Anniversary



Here's photos on the day that Leigh and I celebrated our 1 month anniversary - just 2 days after our Aussie wedding. Note our mode of transport in the background...Leigh absolutely loves this baby...and I chalk it up as a "fun-ride" like at an amusement park or something...Sure is amusing.
So we got ALL gussied up, and got in the UTE and went out to a restaurant called "Tellers". We ate....
yup you guessed it
Kangaroo!

Actually Leigh got the Kangaroo because after meeting such cute animals I opted for steak inside. I mean who cares about cows anyways? he he he

Well, truth be told by the end of the meal, I had tried a bite or two, or three???...
Mmmmm Cajun Kangaroo?

I also bought a hat. Persuaded by Lindsey's story as well as the big thing coming up....the Ballarat Cup!

The whole town goes out and celebrates the horse races. All the ladies dress up to the nines, and everyone wears a big eccentric hat. So cool!

Based out of Britain, I believe, however, the Aussie's keep it aussie style, by overlooking the "refinery" of it all...and guzzling back a few beers. On the occasion I hope to get a few photos to show you all.

Dear Leigh, God put me, your new big sister, in your life for just this moment. To be the voice of reality and reason...that car just ain't cool!

Is the hat the same size as you? What if it it's just an elaborate Aussie joke on forgeiners? What if no one really wears the big hat? That'll be funny!

That is no car. It's a UTE. If you don't have a Ute your just not cool. We all can't drive a Van Glenna.

I’m glad that you both had a great time Angie. The hopping steak does taste great doesn’t it?

Wow. Someone is a little over-sensitive when it comes to his bro's mode of transportation! I don't care if it IS a UTE, it is just plain not stylin'.

You live on a farm, drive a Soccer Mom car and say stylin'. Mmmm, i don't think anyone within 100 miles of you even knows what that means.

I am here to teach them my friend. If they don't know what 'stylin' means then they should turn to me to help them.

And I have no issue with my "soccer mom" van. Did you not SEE how hot I looked in it??????? By the way, your electrical work passes inspection.

Burstin' With Broadway!

Image
I've joined an awesome choir called Burstin' with Broadway. It is so much fun cause it's open to anyone that wants to be a part of a choir for fun, and all the songs that we sing are Broadway type musicals. We only meet once a week, and throughout the week we have a CD to practice with (many of the choir members actually can't read music) But it's so amazing to see how excited everyone is to be a part of this choir and how surprised they are at themselves for what they have accomplished. Somedays it's surprises me to. In the photo you will see some of the compilations we are singing this season. We will soon be singing our pieces in some elite places like the local old folks home...and our final concert will be June 10/06, at a United church in North Vancouver. Click here for the website!

The Art of Making Mistakes

Image
  I don't know if you have ever struggled with your "bits n pieces" of art being good enough for general public viewing.  I love to draw doodley art/tangles/words... mindlessly on bits of paper especially while watching TV or listening to music.  I would never classify it as "fine" art.  I do it to relax - and because I'm  trying to slow down, I'll often make errors in the process from impatience or distraction. They are far from perfect. Not poetically beautiful. Not necessarily powerful or inspirational.  And are littered with mistakes. A few weeks ago, I saw my talented son draw a beautiful picture and half way through, throw it in the bin.  I asked him why he would throw away such a beautiful piece of work and he grunted "too many mistakes" and then "Its not how I imagined it to look." Oh boy - did I relate!   We want to hide our mistakes or start over... forget that we were so stupid to make such a big blunder in the first place.
