Bragging a bit

This picture was taken on a very hot California evening in the summer of 2009.

This is my niece Maria, and her husband, Darren. Darren is an artist, and one of his paintings was chosen as the cover for the March edition of the Eddie Bauer catalog.

Isn't it excting? We are proud of him. Good work, Darren!!

In addition, Eddie Bauer has the painting blown up and

reproduced on huge posters hanging in their stores.

Time for Tea

2:30 Saskatchewan time at the Hotel Saskatchewan, Friday, Feb 11, 2011

We have wanted to do the Victorian Tea at the Hotel Saskatchewan for a long time, and today was the day! Here's a picture around the table. It was fun to go with Fran and Monique.

Here's a look at some of the goodies.

We had already disturbed the level the sandwiches were on.
