stellas dec 25, 2010 Santa Claus has gifts for kids - can you see the pile of presents in the back? it was like 4 feet high and 12 feet wide, amazing how generous Stella's is to kids.  I tried to get a gift but Santa said I was too big for one. So I asked him if I could have a car for Christmas.. he offered me a little race car.. 1 inch by 2 inches.  I can't FIT in it.. I tried, even my baby toe but alas! It's too pudgy...

there is a lot of brush down here so be careful, don't go hiking here alone.  There's been several attacks on this pathway.

Bradley Drive Park is connected to Lincoln Ave, Marren Street and Oakdale Ave hiking trails.

Happy Remembrance Day to the world from the idea girl - Linda Randall

Posting videos from youtube veteran fans for World Wars I and II and the most recent wars.

We will always remember our loved ones from years ago.

I loved it when Grandpa Randall used to tell us all about his "war" stories.

Two of my grandfathers died with a veteran's funeral honoring them.

The other two grandpas were in the war but they had a regular funeral.

It's something else with the gun salutes, flags and everyone dressed in their uniforms.

This morning I am celebrating Remembrance Day for Canada, United States and Britain.

I tweet and follow back
