I have to tell you that I find the word verification at the end of your blog very hard to read - having had 3 eye surgeries that have left me partially blind in one eye. I end up spending too much time trying to figure it out so I haven't been dropping in very often. Still think about you though & glad to know all is well!The Dancing Cronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12661825713234722591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-79356268606622685272013-12-10T19:25:49.806-07:002013-12-10T19:25:49.806-07:00What a loverly bunch of coconuts!!!!!What a loverly bunch of coconuts!!!!!fromsophiesviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16532257840856313054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-22639863568687650452013-12-09T14:05:39.612-07:002013-12-09T14:05:39.612-07:00How cool is that!

A funeral procession came in, and Roy and Barb hightailed it out of the tree leaving Donnie stranded. She couldn't get down and had to sit silently in the tree until the service was over. As I understand it, Barb and Roy were hiding behind some headstones laughing their heads off ~ silently of course! I still laugh when I think about that! My family was so bad!

But it's a small mauve house with a refrigerator on the porch and a silver car in the driveway to the left. Google is scary good with street views!

A commanding officer from a USA Radar Base in Armstrong, Ontario had flown in with Santa and his clown? bringing gifts for the Indian children at Dad's Indian school. At that time the USA had radar bases across Canada because of the fear of Soviet missiles attacking the US by flying over the Canadian Arctic. The Dew line ! Distant Early Warning line. It is fun to look back at old photos, but it's a little bittersweet, because I miss all the family and friends I have lost over the years ~ especially my parents. But that's part of life! Stay warm. We were just looking at the snow in the Philly-Detroit football game. Yikes. Poor Broncos and Tennessee are going to be cold! Gotta run, the kickoff is coming!
