The Story of the Tricky Opa

Once upon a time there was a gullible girl.  Her name was Ila.  Ila's Opa and Oma were visiting her house one day from Alberta.  

Ila's Opa was a sneaky guy.  

One would say you have to keep an good eye on him for he is always up to something.  Some people know this and are always on guard.

Unfortunately, the young and weak and blonde are among his favorite victims.

That leads to the questions Ila's mother asked her after school today upon seeing a large red ink job on her arm.  " Hmmm, Ila, who coloured on your arm."  Now Ila's mom Nej had no big problem with the red ink, just was curious who coloured on her daughter's arm.

Now imagine Nej's reaction when Ila said with a laugh 'That was Opa'.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She said Opa drew two circles on her arm and asked her what the shortest distance between the two was.  And...she fell for it.  :)

Another victim.  

And another point for Opa:)  

Grandma's new home.

Mom's pics from this past weekend Sept 21 & 22

Saturday morning made reservations for the 10 of us at 9:30 at ABC...yum!  

Ummm, this is mom and dad.

And me and dad.

And Mom showing/reading Grandma's memory quilt label.  I think Karen took these pics:) 

We had some time to kill after breakfast so we went to Mill Lake park on the Bourquin side.  (Rob and Andrew both had to go after breaky.  Rob went on a water sampling fieldtrip and Andrew got dropped off at the border and went golfing.)  So we were down to the 8 of us.  

I found out dad might partake in the Special Olympics next year, right dad?  And he likes to tell John Deere jokes to strangers...who got very defensive about owning a JD bike:)  

Here's mom....I think Karen got the camera again:)

We sat and watched and the kids played.

Well, kinda played.  These two girls had a little squabble:)

But Opa turned them into friends again.

It's kinda a cool pic of these 3....I really like it:) 

Off to look at the water.  And ducks.

The tour started at 1pm and went every 15 minutes.  We got there in time for the 1:15 tour.  There was a butt load of CanReffers there.  I think we were done at 2:30ish.

  So here's the inside of the Tabernacle, in the courtyard...

The altar of burnt offerings, and the laver.

The Lampstand and the Table of Showbread in the Holy Place.

...and the altar of incense you can kinda see by the curtain to the Most Holy Place.

And the heads of Flokstra's and Doesburg's:)

Oh, here's the Altar of Incense again.  

The Arc of the Covenant in the Most Holy Place.  

I'm not sure if it's all according to size but they tried to copy it as best at they could understand from the Bible passages.  

Here's what they figure a High Priest would have looked like.  She told us about the plate on his forehead, what the different colours meant and the stones on his shoulders, etc.

And this is Grandma's quilt, (uh, not in the Tabernacle:)  She's got 21 of Grandpa's shirt sleeves in there.  :)

Mom's pics from August 2013

(I found these pics on moms camera and quickly downloaded and posted them before they had to leave last night. Now it's Monday afternoon:)

B & L watching some cartoons one morning when we were in AB last week of August 2013.

Audrey Marie with her happy aunt:)

awww, so cute.

She looks so old here but I think she's just a day or two old.

On Sunday, Tyler and Keri and Jayden and Callie came over for dinner. It was their last Sunday in Neerlandia. 

The whole lot of us munching dinner on the deck.  Or maybe this was dessert.  Looks like everyone is mid bite:)

Audrey looks a little like Bentley here to me.

Bentley, Kate, Damon and Logan chillin' in the sandbox on Tuesday.

Looks like Logan is putting nailpolish on Roxy...lol.

Bentley got pretty good around the dogs, does she still like them now?

B & L having some downtime in their recliners:)

Cheesy Bread/Pizza Dough

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour (or more depending how sticky the dough is once mixing, you could need up to a 1/4 cup more, depending on your kind of flour)
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 cup 'warmer then lukewarm but not hot' water
1 TBSP yeast
1 TBSP canola or olive oil (kinda optional)

Put flour, sugar, salt, water,  (oil) in mixer.  Mix a bit.  Add the yeast.  Mix until 'doughy'.  If you touch it with your finger it should be sticky but not stick to your finger.  If it's too sticky, add a tiny bit of flour.  Mix again until it doesn't stick to sides of bowl. Add tiny bit of flour if it does.
Let sit for 20 minutes.

Roll out dough into size of cookie sheet.  Maybe put parchment paper or a quick spray of 'PAM'.

Add Italian Dressing 1/4 cup or Ranch whatever you prefer
Add basil or oregano or Italian seasoning or pizza seasoning.
Add mozzarella.

Bake 350 for 20-25ish minutes on the 2nd from bottom rack.

first two pics are when i was in the Hong kong airport. I just thought it looked kinda cool with the mountains right beside the airport. Flying  over top of it was also really cool cus there are tons are little islands alll over the place and they have houses on them too. i dont know if i would really like to live there, doesnt look too appealing. 

  

 first sunset i see in aus. not the greatest but i thought it still looked pretty cool

 Secret Harbour. John went surfing, well tried to at least, the waves were quite big. The weather was beautiful.

 Rockingham beach

 this toilet thing made me laugh. it has this automatic voice thing. and the toilet cleans itself. automatic door and everything, like entering a elevator. Probably the most high tech bathroom i have ever seen.

 this boat that was on the shore, not sure why, maybe it was washed ashore from a storm or something.

 the weather here is not always sunshine and hot days, there was a storm going on for the past couple days, so so windy, flip sounded like a tornado in my room on tuesday night, it was soo windy.
