Last one for tonight! <\/p>\n

Thank you for the birthday wishes. I did indeed have a fine day, lounging around. We had company — Shel’s Mom, her friend and two of the Saskatchewan nephews — so it was a busy weekend. Over Dylan’s protests, Shirley bought me a 6 foot step ladder. Dyl figured it was a “boring present”, but I needed one and I wanted one! So there!<\/p>\n

I also got a small, portable, photoprinter. It’ll print directly off the camera memory cards, and while some of you purists will say — “But the quality sucks, right?” — I have to say that the first couple of pictures we have printed look pretty darned good! Maybe not publication quality, but these are just pictures of people and places…not art. The main benefit is that since we got our first digital camera a couple years back, we have not printed even ONE picture. So there’s a gap in the albums. This will get us printing them out a little more regularly…at least the good ones.<\/p>\n

And lastly, we went for — what will likely amount to — our last day skiing for the season on Monday. It was beautiful! 5 C, no wind, not a cloud in the sky, and a good 6 inches of new snow. Too bad you weren’t there Sam!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
