My brother in law Larry Knows his pottery.Notice the intensity as he studies the finished vase.

My favorite is the INUKSHUK

inukshuk in English[2] or inukhuk in Inuinnaqtun[3]) is a man-made stone landmark or cairn

Linda got tired shopping and thought she would go for a bike ride. She found out the bikes brakes didn’t work. (She could have ended up in the lake)

100_2586 As for me I now have my very own ceramic inukhuk and he hangs out with Ted R. on my back deck. My inukhuk has been giving me some great stock picks. He hasn’t missed so far.

TIME FOR SKY WATCH FRIDAY CANADIAN SKIES TODAY

Linda and I are back from vacation and wish we weren’t (to many problems to take care of). I’m sure looking at beautiful skies from all over the world AT SkywatchFriday will help. The following pictures were taken at Lake Anima-Nippising or the French River area of Ontario Canada.

Some pickerel for dinner.. Don’t you just hate it when your sister catches a bigger fish than you do. We did have a pickerel dinner. All the rest of the fish were “catch and release.”  Fish we caught: pickerel,small mouth bass, pike,and pan fish. The fishing was great . I know you want to know where we caught the fish and I’m going to tell you. We caught them “in the lake”

I’m afraid I gained weight on this vacation….

Other reasons for a “wilderness” vacation: Peace,Serenity, Beautiful Scenery, and “QUALITY TIME”
