Comments (7)A few more pictures from our Thanksgiving trip to Switzerland. We were visiting my wife's cousin who lives in one of those houses in the background, part way up the mountain to the ski resort Verbier. This picture shows the tortuous road that winds up the mountain to the ski resort that a few years back was a part of one day's route on the Tour de France. On the ski slopes looking down over Verbier and looking up the mountain from the ski slope...See MoreI'll Show You Mine if You Show Me Yours Sat Nov 07
Comments (6)IF your worried about the light, then use the flash. Spiders stop moving when you shoot them head on, pose your bug moving them with a stick. They don't want you to notice them..becoming prey themselves(jumping spiders are the exception, always moving). Use a tripod and ISO 100. Ladybugs on the other hand move constantly. I use a flash and they just look shiny. :0) You can shoot through a magnifying glass too........See MoreI'll Show You Mine if You Show Me Yours Sat Nov 19
Comments (7)Casey, I love those! Great photos. As you probably know, I've been volunteering as a photographer for FindAGrave for years. In addition to headstones, they also appreciate pictures that show the cemetery. Even if the cemetery has already been photographed, if you can improve on the existing photo with one of your own (I'm sure in many cases you can), uploading yours will give people a choice....See MoreI'll Show You Mine If You Show Me Yours - Sat Nov 11
Comments (10)I attended the Remembrance Day ceremony at the cenotaph in the village where I grew up - I was 10 when World War II began in '39, 16 when it ended in '45. At the time of the Korean "Police Action", I wondered about signing up, especially since neither my grandfather nor father (who was 13 in 1914) had been in the military, but I was busy at university, and the Korean issue was not a huge issue, as World War II had been, five and more years earlier. In my last year of seminary, a call came out from our national church for missionaries to go to Africa or Korea, and I signed up for Korea, where a good deal of our activities were helping refugees get back to living a reasonably normal life (in their context). At the end of the gathering today, I said we are here today to pay tribute to the ones who died in battle, Recruits for military service are required to be in top physical, mental and spiritual/emotional condition, and the ones who died in battle were called upon to give up their life on that one occasion ... but that many who survived came home broken, whether in body, mind or spirit/emotion. It seems to me that any society which considers itself civilized would feel compelled to take care of its members who had suffered such a calamity, and that we have tended to cut back on the numbers who qualify, and to reduce some of their pensions, and that we ought to be ashamed of having taken such an inconsiderate path. Recently our government decided to offer a number in that position a one-time settlement of, mainly, $250,000. dollars. If one invests that money at 4%, it produces about $10,000. a year: at 3% - $7,500. I've asked some of our local Members of Parliament whether they know how one can live on such an amount. One said that that amount wasn't set in stone ... that it could be up to three million dollars ... to which I replied that both he and I knew that a very small percentage of the total number receiving such support might qualify for anywhere near that amount. At the gathering for lunch at the veterans' hall afterwards, one of the vets said that it might well take a good portion of the $250,000. to alter one's home sufficiently to be accessible. ole joyful...See More
9 years agolast modified: 9 years agoI've been giving away milk kefir grains regularly on Freecycle and Kijiji. I often get little gifts as a thank you in return for the grains.
Yesterday a very nice man who lives in Nova Scotia for part of the year brought me a jar of mackerel. Home-canned. He loves the stuff and said I can use it like canned salmon. We're both rather hesitant, as he said it's a stronger flavour than salmon.
Has anyone had it, or can tell me what to do with it? If all else, hopefully the cats will like it.

You all have seen that picture of the housecat looking in the mirror and seeing a lion? Well, here's my terrier looking at his shadow and thinking he's a Doberman Pinscher.
