Landfill Gas and Power

The company Tony works for collected from their workers and donated a substantial amount of money and donated it to this Vietnamese Orphanage....One of their workers now lives over there ...thats the man in white and no hair, he came across this place and was impressed what they were trying to do with these children that had a different and not such a good start to life......Good on them....

A night in the Spa

What else can one do when it is even somewhat unbearable to be in the house, assigned to a certain part of the house where the air conditioner is running....of course we sit in the spa and look up into the stars and enjoy each others company.....that is what we did last night.....lovely and cool although the temperature in the spa is warm, which is the way I like it ...I'm not one to jump in cold water. Even when it is as hot as it is...We sure are having a heat wave.
Naomi in Seattle U.S.A. told us yesterday that as hot as it is here, it's the opposite there, they went out to the Space Needle on Saturday and she said we just ran from one shop to another to get into their heated buildings it was so cold. I think next February I will be in Seattle. Although it sounds appealing now it may not be really.
We have now had everything returned from the Insurance...that was stolen from here...all of course at a reduced rate as the Laptop and Camera's de-appreciate in value...but it is good to have it all back...just a little bodywork to be done on the car and we are all back before we were invaded...except more vigilant.....and cautious...me, a tad neurotic at times.
Early start on housework today try to beat the heat. Maybe I should sit in the Spa again....not a bad idea !!!!

She has her own Language

Little Lacey has her special way of talking no one can understand her.....but it is the cutest ever and she goes on and on and all you can say is really Lace....it comes with arm waving and toe tapping etc....she knows what she is talking about and she feels we all do. I could listen to her all day...she brings joy and brightness to your soul.

Our little place of miracles

Every week I attend and help run a Family History Centre....we are small but it can be a place of miracles. Many  an Ancestor has been found here. With Val's permission I have taken a photo of her doing her thing, which is to read old records...she is so diligent and is there 3 times of week. We love her and she teaches us much.

Family History centre

SOOOO HOT

Yesterday I had a wonderful day with my very good friend Gayle, she slept over and we had a lovely little talk in the morning, then went to the shops for some therapy !!!!!! you know what I mean, I come across the softest and smoothest towels I've ever felt and of course I just had to have them......oh my they are luxurious..there called micro cotton and if you haven't ever felt them your missing something lovely.....we said our goodbyes and went our separate ways...My car reads the temperature outside and when I saw it I nearly flipped...44 deg.
and the humidity is something else...this has been the most intolerable summer ever I can't ever remember it being so oppressive...and I dream of living in a cooler place.... Denmark or Albany in W.A. always sounds good to me. I'm afraid I have a body that was born in Holland and it has never fully adapted to the heat.
I'm off to the Family History Library this morning...have found some more people on my line and they were born in the 1600 I have so much good luck with my Family History..... in all of my major lines I have gone back to the early 1700 hundreds and further...it is very exciting...and of course you come to meet the most wonderful people along the way.....

Who will win ?

These are Nic and Sione's dogs they walk being joined together on the leash...they got into a bit of a sticky situation here......poor puppy ....he is always pulled by Reicko.....Puppy is his name now, not Mr Potato Head anymore.......is exhausted by the time he gets home he takes every moment to sit and relax......funny to see them.
