My Ramblings

Ok so I have been quiet for a couple of weeks. So now is a good a time as any to catch up and let you know what has been happening lately. The best news is that Dad is doing very well. He had a blood transfusion last week because his bloodcount was low, and…

Ahhh after over three years of not having the luxury of driving down to Tilbar Butchery to buy a few sticks of the best biltong ever, I have finally got round to making a batch here at home. So what is biltong? Well, it is dried meat that is cured and spiced and given 4-6…

So, here is the deal. Spring began here on Monday this week at 10:30am – what has somewhat amazed me is the fact that people can now pinpoint the start of a season right down to the hour and day it is due to begin. What is even more striking is the almost incredible turn…

I am starting to enjoy messing around with my digital camera. I figure why have the technology and not experiment with it. Being winter and heading into spring there are some very picturesque plants in bloom at this time of the year, and so I flipped my camera onto macro and did a variety of…

Greetings all, As promised slightly later than anticipated, here is our short family Christmas greeting to you all. I think that if none of our videos and audio files are playing you might consider downloading the new version of Windows Media Player from the official Windows site.

So, the end of the weekend hits us all like a ton of bricks. I am really chuffed that the video/audio worked out. The secret to keeping young is …ummmm…DIGITALLY ENHANCED SOFTWARE. No honestly, Ken, Ang & Karin – if you were to see me in real life you would see the gray hair, the…

Yesterday was thanksgiving – a tradition that has been in place since 1620. The basics of the whole tradition is the pilgrims who came over here and landed ashore on November 11, 1620 to start a new life and practice of freedom of religion. 106 pilgrims made the daring journey, and the first winter wiped…

I am pretty annoyed – I had just worked on this submission and lost the whole thing. So, I have redone it, and edited it sadly… I was saying, that I created this picture in Photoshop, it took about an hour to finalize. As I was working on it, and looking at our daughters, the…

I haven’t posted to my blog for a few days. It is Sunday night and almost time to retire after a day of Church and yardwork. It has been a while since I did any gardening. Our house that we rented fortunately had the services of a gardener, and now that we have our own…
