Just like that she won it! Pretty lucky! So today we are heading out to get some accessories for it and a wide angle lense while on sale. She plans to take Photography at Ryerson next year so the camera will come in quite handy!
    Congratulations to ekitten on the camera win

    Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge.
    The purpose of the contest
    was to find the most caring child.

    The winner was:

    1. A four-year-old child, whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman,

    who had recently lost his wife.
    Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old Gentleman's yard,
    climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.
    When his mother asked him what he had said
    to the neighbor, the little boy just said,
    'Nothing, I just Helped him cry.'

    *********************************************

    2. Teacher Debbie Moon's first graders were discussing a picture of a family.
    One little boy
    in the picture had a different hair color than the other members.
    One of her students suggested that he was adopted.
    A little girl said, 'I know all about Adoption, I was adopted..'

    'What does it mean to be adopted?',

    asked another child.

    'It means', said the girl, 'that you grew in your mommy's heart instead of her tummy!'

    ************************ *********************

    3. On my way home one day, I stopped to watch a Little League baseball game that was

    being played in a park near my home.
    As I sat down behind the bench on the first-base line,
    I asked one of the boys what the score
    was?
    'We're behind 14 to nothing,'
    he answered with a smile.

    'Really,' I said. 'I have to say you don't look very discouraged.'

    'Discouraged?', the boy asked with a Puzzled look on his face...

    'Why should we be discouraged?

    We haven't been up to bat yet.'

    *********************** **********************

    4. Whenever I'm disappointed with my spot in life, I stop and think about little Jamie Scott.

    Jamie was trying out for a part in the school play.
    His mother told me that
    he'd set his heart on being in it,
    though she feared he would not be chosen.

    On the day the parts were awarded, I went with her to collect him after school.

    Jamie rushed up to her, eyes shining with pride and excitement.
    'Guess what, Mom,' he shouted, and then said those words that will remain a lesson to me...
    'I've been chosen to clap and cheer.'

    *********************************************

    5. An eye witness account from New York City , on a cold day in December, some years ago:
    A little boy, about 10-years-old, was standing before
    a shoe store on the roadway, barefooted,
    peering through the window, and shivering with cold.

    A lady approached the young boy and said,
    'My, but you're in such deep thought staring in that window!'

    'I was asking God to give me a pair of shoes,' was the boy's reply.

    The lady took him by the hand, went into the store,
    and asked the clerk to get
    half a dozen pairs of socks for the boy.
    She then asked if he could give her
    a basin of water and a towel.
    He quickly brought them to her.

    She took the little fellow to the back part of the store and, removing her gloves,

    knelt down, washed his little feet, and dried them with the towel.

    By this time, the clerk had returned with the socks.

    Placing a pair upon the boy's feet, she purchased him a pair of shoes.

    She tied up the remaining pairs of socks and gave them to him.
    She patted him on the head
    and said, 'No doubt, you will be more comfortable now.'

    As she turned to go, the astonished kid caught her by the hand, and looking up into her face,

    with tears in his eyes, asked her:

    'Are you God's Wife?'

    Had no power until xmas eve, busy time for me, the crashes of trees where absolutely unreal in our neighborhood and in my yard, started off by cutting a tree out of my neighbor's roof and patching his roof, might have been an easy task in summer time but on 1/2" of ice on a sloped roof, (New Olympic sport - Roof Luge!!)
    Next mission was to grab generators, I have access to 3, took one generator to my boyz house, realized i could wire up to his furnace and did so,still gave him lots of power to run other stuff, so we decided could run two houses from one generator, picked his elderly neighbors 89 & 87, When the heat came on through there vents, this sweet little lady of 87 hugged and cried in my arms thanking me, I made sure my boyz watched over them.
    Next generator went to my boyz friends Adam and Eve (that is there real names) Adam and Eve just came home last Saturday with a baby boy Jordan 5 days old,first time I met Jordan and his sweet little hands were ice cold, again helped his neighbors a family of 6, at this house i could not wire into the furnace, but wired up their gas fire place, they too were very grateful.
    Last generator went to my place, fair size generator, managed to cover 3 houses, One being my neighbor Chris who really stepped up to the plate, he helped me with all of the above and helped paying for fuel for the generators, i think I opened his eyes on what needed to be done.


    Of course I got the stupid flu bug Christmas morning, aahh humbug!!
    didn't see much of Christmas or boxing day.
    Merry Christmas all
    WOW!
    you're a great neighbour, karl! that's so wonderful that you were able to help so many people.

    We just got home from the ACC - watching the ladies team Canada hockey team vs team USA.... Canadians lost 3-2 The shots were 30 - 27 for Canada, but the US ladies played much better than our team.... As my daughter said, "They're saving it all for the "real" games"!! Let's hope she's right!!!

    My daughter was on the ice at the ACC tonight during the first intermission as one of the 2 referees... They had a "little girls" team scrimmage and the ladies team Ontario taking shots..... she was pretty excited about her 4 minutes of stardom on the ACC ice!!

    night, night all.... back to w*rk in the morning for me....
