The Standring's Have Arrived....Valhalla's 100th Anniversary!!

Today, Canada day, was a special celebration in our new community Valhalla. It marked their 100th anniversary, which this tiny community decided to have a parade to celerbrate this.  So Papa had an idea that the grandkiddies might like to go in the parade as the "New Neighbours."  So Roxi and Heidi and I plunged into the decoration of the truck...greared up the kiddies, and off we went!  Hadassah, Aunika, Naomi and Baby Achilles were thrilled to be a part of it all!
No work today...ummm, well actually Papa did get in two hours of basementy work before the parade...but, he is taking the afternoon off from the farm!
HAPPY CANADA DAY FAMILY & FRIENDS!!!

Full Moon over the Valhalla Farm, June 24th 2013

It has been a very long stretch of time since my last update, and the reason being that not so much has happened.  We still do not have a COMPLETE roof...I know, I know, it has been a real source of frustration.  There are so many projects that are on hold because we first need a roof.  That is why I have not posted of late....However, here is a beautiful shot of the house under the full moon of last night.  The shot was take at 11pm.  It is now light all night...sky keep a streak of pink in it until sunrise.  Mark no longer is in bed and asleep by 9pm.....he now goes between 10:30 and 11...Gulp!!

 

 

 

This looks like a "Sun Dog" to me instead of a rainbow, or is it just the way I am looking at it?

A Double Rainbow was Just What Papa and Nana Needed Last Night...Still no Roofer Today.

WOW!  Things are certainly never dull in the Standring family!!What an incident.  So glad Mark was not hurt. Yes, a definite memorial for his gravestone !!!
