Aw Shucks!

Pic of the day;

 

I was unable to get the photos down I needed to compare the two lakes, but in reading Lake Moraine is listed as the most beautiful lake in Canada.  BUT they both are very beautiful..

 For today:

It is a little late. But it is nice to smile after being blocked from the net for hours. As you know, about every day or so, or every 24 hours, this computer must go down for Updates.  Well, it seems that after the updates lately I have a problem, this one just would not recognize my local Verizon wifi machine. So I have been off for a good while.

BUT as I said this time I got to smile, I appreciate all the readers here.  But this time I got a couple surprises. I was able to read comments from a day or so ago that had not shown up, GOOD STUFF! ~One was an old Blogging friend, Teacher’s Pet, that let me know she is still around, SWEET.

I was surprised that some even took time to read ‘The Cremation of Sam McGee.” Seeing those signs as I drove sure made me think.  Who would have thought as I read that poem in 1951/52 in a small mountain classroom in Valdese, NC that I would one day be driving in Canada’s Great Yukon and actually see Lake Lebarge. About 75 years later.

Oh yes, and I was corrected by a young man I am so proud of. Grandson Josh had finished a 26.2 mile marathon. I have ran a lot, and marched a bunch, but I have never even marched 26 miles without a 1/2 hour break, much less ran it.

We have traveled and Josh and wife Megan have traveled. He holds it over my head that they have made my dream trip to Ireland, and we haven’t made it yet.  LOL

Also proud that he reads the blog, Thanks Josh. However he did correct his Grandpa.  In a Text, “Hey Grandpa that is not a picture of Lake Louise, that is Lake Moraine, but it is close to Louise however.  LOL  To top it off he sends me a picture of Megan and himself at both lakes. ;-).  They are a lovely  couple and great parents., one day I will show you those pictures, I just cannot get them off my phone. LOL

Now I am gonna try to get those pictures here. Josh could do it in a flash, his grandpa has yet to conquer this later technology (Later than 1962 LOL), but Imma try. LOL

 I got one, don't know how.  I will try to get the other. This is Josh and Megan at Lake Louise....


This was an update LOL  I hope it is the right pic.

What an exquisite locale! At this season in our lives travel is but a pipe dream, so I applaud anyone who makes a point of doing so. (And yes, that includes you and Sherry.)
Wow, is it just me or is Joshua the spitting image of JJ?
Wishing y'all a blessed day!

I think it is so nice that your grandson reads your blog. :)
Dealing with technology sure can be frustrating at times.
