Use a "snow Rake" on the lower roofs. Be careful where you walk.

rain, high wind, dropping temps here, but bright sky in Eilat. Illy is there for three days on assignment from work. Lucky girl, she tells of bright sunshine.


The Screw Hill


Near Eilat

Amazing photos and of course I had to look it up. Strange I've never heard of that spot and it is so interesting!  Whatever Illy's job is, a dream one it sounds like!  I am fascinated by the way you race around the world from your location. Love seeing where your kids go. I have a son that travels quite a bit & will send me photos now & then. Daughter did travel the world but retired now & never did take photos for me. Thank Illy and thank you for sharing your world.

Funny what I notice. Even though I can see why it is Screw Hill, it is a left handed Screw hill.

Thanks Bubble for all the pic's.

Memories from 2016 In London ONT with Pat Scott and her niece.
Don invited them to come and meet me.

Posting for Jane



 

WOW!!! What a spectacular  sight to see!! Jane, thank you for sharing....

Bubble, love the photo of you Dan,Pat and her neice. Good times had by all......thank you for sharing..

Really is shocking to see how different our world is in a few short years, Bubble. How is Don doing now that Christmas is nearly here?  Does he still have his Santa suit? Thanks for posting that photo and for posting Jane's.

Aw, Jane, that had to be spectacular in person, it is gorgeous in the photos. We have the Arkansas (pronounce that "R-Kansas" when in Kansas) River behind my house that runs thru the downtown part of the city, not sure they have EVER put on such a show!

Thanks for sharing your photos!

The pictures are great but it was lots better seeing it in person!  there was about a half mile of boats and we went to see them in the daylight and then went back after dark  it practically took my breath away!

Shirley, Don is doing as well as possible, but he lost his mobility totally and has to use a w/c or the walker for just a few steps. He is tired most of the time and very distracted in mind. The days are all the same, week ends or holidays not different.
So mostly he sleeps the days away.
He sees very little of the family.
Since Corona, there are no activities and nothing of interest in the home.
One can only feel sorry for the situation.

Good evening everyone. well here is a fourmila for colds/head or chest. given to me by a old drugest,years ago. and we keep some of it made and on hand  all the time in refrigator.formilua Is ( Honey burbon and lemoin, equal parts.

My aunt would give me a "hot toddy" when I had a bad cold, chest or head cold. Didn't keep in refrigerator, but made it up as needed. Same ingredients: Honey, bourbon, lemon.  Wish I had one right now, although I don't have a cold.

While I was out of town last week, my 3 next door neighbors, husband, wife & son, all got sick with something terrible; sounds like flu to me.  Even on the local news tonight they were talking about lots and lots of reports of colds, etc. since the "family gatherings" for Thanksgiving.  Hope everyone here has avoided this new respiratory "thing"; be it flu, Covid, head or chest colds.

For those interested in foreign parts of the world, here are some photos if King Salomon Pillars in the Negev desert - Israel South.







 

   

On the top photo do you see Illy walking away from that big rock?

What an opportunity  to see all that!!! That is a trip I would love to make. Yes, Illy is a wee speck in the photo!Tell her to please keep thee photos coming!! Thank you for sharing Bubble.

 Statue of Sint-Niklaas in front of the town hall of Sint-Niklaas town.  Notice the 3 children that were saved from the larder of the butcher by  St Niklaas

My mind won't quit thinking about Illy being in a place I never heard about before!  I thought we had good books & teachers but sure missed a lot. Illy is a cutie & love how active she is. Thanks so much.  Sorry to hear Don is now "gliding"... I do think I could sleep a lot more if I had the chance! 

And I am dead on my feet right now. Julie-Ellen arrived & setting up shop!  She has a zoom meeting at 8:30 in the morning so fixing her spot up. We have a busy day so I'm off for the jammies.... Sweet dreams & God Bless.

Getting ready for Christmas?

Woke to a winter wonderland.....and work . 

Still more snow...and it is still snowing out!

We didn't get nearly that much snow!  Please tell me it's "Canadian Snow"?

Jane, it is nasty to move and some won't move!  Wet,snowball snow that is going to stay right there till it gets colder and dries out some. Twice I have tried to move it, snowplow came by and dumped more in the driveway.I plugged my machine up   so it will stay till it becomes more managable...

Beautiful, but hard work ensues! 

I honestly can't decide between frigid temperatures or snow for being the worst, Amy. I believe both of us, & the majority, would probably love for this winter to be over with!

Don't you both love and hate those plows?

Joanie, too much hard work, as I remember!

Amazing photos!

To make you all dream...
Illy and Aviv went to a 3 days camping trip in the desert


and my daffodils are blooming on my window sill

My geranium is also gloriously red

On top of the world!

Ohhh Bubble!! How I wish to be there! Blowing snow ,winds like teenagers , up all night  here!
Your flowers are beautiful..you really have a green thumb!

Thanks.  Happy white celebration.
