The Chair

I picked up an office chair at Salvation Army the other day. It is great. I like the smallish kind with no arms. It was perfect but it looked like Lassie spent way too much time in the office. So I picked up some fabric from IKEA and did a little home re-covering job on it. Fun stuff! It didn't take very long either. I highly recommend it to anybody!


Now we just wonder what the print is supposed to be. In IKEA it looked like black and white cactus to me. Bert thinks they are weird watermelons. Ah well.

Moments in Life

Nope it isn't a dream, they are for real Marks & Spencer Chocolate Biscuits! One of the ladies in church returned a suitcase she had borrowed for her trip to the UK and put these in it for us. Thanks Flora!

All the fall garden bounty. We had our first frost on Sunday night so I cleaned out the garden. It is nice to have the color in the house...until we eat them. :)


The leaves have a ton of color at the moment. I love it!


Bert was testing out his new 'toy'. (his birthday present from Mum and Dad Pohl arrived yesterday. He loves it!:) We had just finished with a client meeting at Starbucks.

I really do take pictures of Bert too, but I honestly have no idea where they disappear to. We'll have to look into that.....

And then here is an oldie but a goodie. It is my Grandpa Rozeboom with the trucks he and his brother owned in their trucking business. I would love one of those signs on the truck, but they are surly long gone by now. It would look pretty cool in my living room. :)

Birthday Boy

Happy Happy Birthday to my dear Hubby! We have a few pictures of him from when he was a bit smaller. The teen years are a bit sketch for pictures. Most of the ones we have from then, you can't even tell it is him cause he is just a little dot on a surf board in the middle of the ocean.
I can't remember if we have posted any of these pics before. If we have, sorry!


Jacquie and Bert...he couldn't be more than a couple months old here.

It looks like he either looooved water even then.


He said he had blond hair when he was little. It was pretty light here...for Bert.:)

A school picture from kindergarten or first grade. (in his favorite shirt)
A few months ago. That was the last pic I could find of him....haha, not, but I do need to take more pics!
Anyway, Happy Birthday Sweetie, I love ya!
