Winter in the city

Someone elses Holiday in the Alberta Rockies

Seventy years ago today

Seventy years ago, on December 7th, 1941, the Imperial Japanese Navy launched a surprise attack against the United States naval base in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Over 350 Japanese aircraft attacked in two waves, strafing, dropping bombs and torpedoes. Four U.S. Navy battleships were sunk, four other battleships were damaged, and eight other ships were either sank or damaged. 188 U.S. aircraft were destroyed, 2,402 personnel were killed and 1,282 were wounded. The following day, the United States declared war on Japan, officially entering World War II.

Our first attempt at our Holiday photo

Ingrid, the passing of a very special lady

We spent this afternoon at Ingrid’s house with her family and friends. 

The gathering was held in her back yard.  It was love filled and joyous to be with the people that knew her best.

She was a very special lady and she’ll be deeply missed by all that knew her.

Lost honey connection

We have a friend that has a tropical fruit grove on 4 acres in Davie and for the last five years or so an outside bee keeper has been keeping his bees there which gave them an over abundance of honey.  Our friend was gracious enough to pass on his good fortune to us and now it’s come to an end.

The bee keeper has decided to move his bees which means our honey connection is no more.

This is a sad day for us for several reasons; Judith uses the honey for cookie, we have been substituting honey for sugar because we feel it’s healthier, it tastes great and for me, have you seen the price of honey?  It would be cheaper to put gasoline on our pancakes.

 

Time to get me some bees.
