There is an annual skating with Santa event at venerable Steinberg Rink in Forest Park. We'll get jolly St. Nick himself in here shortly, along with his eerie connection to me. For today, we will look at small girls learning to skate and having a good time at it.
Significant news in our family last night. We learned that our first grandchild is expected in late summer. I'll be 63, so about time. Grace, that proposed trip to Australia in August is right out.

ReplyDeleteCute shots and congratulations. You'll be skating in about 5 years!!!
ReplyDeleteOh lucky you Bob, how exciting..Australia will still be here when you're ready to come..
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Bob!
ReplyDeleteGood shots; here we've got the rink at our city hall open, and we're waiting for the Rideau Canal to open up for skating for the season.
That top photo is so sweet... But the piece of news is even sweeter. I can imagine how thrilled you both are. I hope all goes well.
ReplyDeleteToo bad about Australia though.
And to answer your comment about our own olive oil, I said I didn't think our 15 litres would take us through the year because 7 bottles have already been given to friends and relatives.
ReplyDeleteWe're in fact down to 8 and olive oil is the only oil we use, be it for salads or for cooking. And we eat a lot of salad, especially in summer. But we shall see...
