Canuk Greg from Ottawa, Canada

Thank you C. G.! - Knowing so many are praying and sending positive thoughts Rocko's way helps tremendously.

Page 29???? Gosh you are popular!

Just lost a long post so I'll simply say the music was wonderful and the picture gallery delightful, your visit and comments were most apprecreiated. Thanks for stopping by, look forward to your next visit.

Oh, Greg, I loved the Winchester Cathedral video, it was great.
BTW, you whistle beautifully, thanks!

Well, my oh my, aren't you the popular one!
Just popped back to invite you over to my page to see the pics I've finally been able to put up, thanks be to Gath!
If I'm not in when you arrive, please help yourself to a drink and nibbles, sit yourself down and relax.
Enjoy.

G'day Greg...thanks for the visit to my page...as for the JK YouTube, you're welcome, although I confess I had someone else in mind when I put it there!

Thank you, my friend.

Thanks Greg. I look forward to hearing your comments. I got the idea from Nal's photos and then had to see what programs I had and what they did. I am really rapt in how they came up.

Hey Greg...I was just getting some pics for Mamacita and saw your post and question on the Death Valley photos. (from 4 mo. ago) bad Dave, bad Dave.
Death Valley is a very interesting place. Only very little is below sea level and virtually nothing grows there. In 05 when we were last there, there had been a very heavy winter of rains in the desert and even the Valley floor was in bloom. Large fields of small yellow flowers. We got there after the main bloom but got to see quite a bit. The two pics on Flickr were in a canyon we were climbing through, probably about 1000-1500 foot (300-450M) elevation. One night we camped at about 4500 feet (1350M). We may get back this October with some friends who are going to be there.

Greg - I am sorry, I did a little cleaning of the flickr site, didn't think anyone would miss them. Sat. & Sun. are full for me but will find them and put them back up on mon. or tues. Have a great weekend.

and for the push. I really enjoyed your pictures - I'm a sucker for sunsets - just beautiful. The next town over has a waterfall - much much smaller scale that reminds me your your picture. I did find a small picture of a black horse but couldn't pass it on per instructions - I guess this will be one of my goals for the summer. Tomorrow should be a busy day for me - Naperville is having a sidewalk sale downtown and a fine arts faire is going on at Naper Settlement. This is a museum of sorts - set in the days when Joe Naper founded Naperville - around 1890's I believe. I enjoy the faire - alot of nice photos are there - I usually will get them in postcard size -- so I can enjoy them on my desk. I love nature shots - or pictures were there is a path leading somewhere. Well, I hope everyone is well and fine with you and yours - enjoy your weekend. Mary

Thank yo Greg for your sentiments. We tend to humanize our pets to the point that we grieve over their deaths as if they had been family members. I am one of those that humanize every animal I come in contact with - imagine how much I loved Rocko whom had taught himself to be a service dog!
I counted on him to let me know if Mother was restless whenever I was away from her room.

Just had to pop in...Bay City Rollers..hmmm feel like I'm a 13 year old again, sitting on the living room floor, crying and swooning over Woody!
OH the things we did way back then.

Hi Greg! Thanks for the note! No doubting you're Canadian and proud! I'm sorry I haven't dropped in before - I hardly get a chance to do the Sudokus these days (lunchtime at work) let alone stay as long as I'd like. I'm seriously thinking of going down to working four days a week instead of five. Whoever said it gets easier when your child starts school lied. Maybe for stay-at-home mums who suddenly find themselves with free time! I need to find a better work-life balance! At what stage in your life are you?

Hi Greg. Thanks for popping by. My husband made the fountain, and represents many of the things my kids play (we couldn't work out a way to put in the 'fool'). My 15 year old son helped, and on fine days can be found out beside it, with a novel, appearing very relaxed. We still haven't officially named it, but have considered 'The Orchestra Pit'. .
By the way, I love your polar bears. They are just so beautiful!

you are treading a very fine line insinutating my age is catching up with moi!

Hi, Greg! Thanks for visiting my page. I was just checking out your photos and while they are quite wonderful, I didn't see any pictures of you!!! Perhaps you're a member of the Mounties' Secret Service and can't reveal your visage! So I guess your avatar will have to do!

I'm leaving some freshly steamed crabs for you. The crabbing was quite amazing today - we caught 5 dozen in less than two hours!

Hi Greg,
Love your gift of 'double chocolate fudge beavertail pastry'--YUMMY!!! And thanks for the 'heads-up' to make sure my recipient gets my answering email.
I LOVE your photos. Canada is stunningly beautiful, and your photos really get that across.
Thanks for the welcome from Mary, Mala & Domino

Greg, that's a fantastic version of 'Try a Little Tenderness' on your YouTube. Thanks.

Hey, Greg - I just checked out all your pictures (I had just clicked on 'photo gallery' the first time - missed the Flick'r photos altogether). Lovely photos, and your daughter is beautiful! What kind of acting does she do - film or stage?

I know! I keep telling him he needs a haircut. [biggrin}

I am, diligently, looking for another Rottweiler. Our next door neighbor asked us if we wanted a poodle - I'd rather have a rottie though.

Still miss him. Still cry for him. Still seeing him all around the house. I feel his spirit everywhere I go.

Just calling in to say hello and thanks, hope all is well. It seems you have surpassed your first book on Sudoku going off all the comments. I wonder if Gath can save them all for you for a first print

Hi Greg!
Long story: Years ago, during one of my many second childhoods, I had a lovely little car, a Toyota MR2. I named it 'Babybeast' because it was so little and was a beast to start and drive in the snow! When Babybeast finally went to MR2 heaven, I could not let the name die, so I now use it for email, web site ID's, etc. I would have used it here on this site, but I could not use so many letters, so it got shortened to Beast. So now you have it! My real name is Mary, but I love all beasts and critters, so Beast is sort of a part of me...

You wrote >>Well, you might now be referred to by me on site as Babybeast, or Mary, or Beast or Hey You<<

I answer to just about anything! Believe me, I've been called worse!
Cheers,
m

Hello Greg
Thank you for visiting , Fairuz is one of our most popular singers , she sang the most beautiful poems.
she has a distinguished voice , if you are interested , you can find her on youtube.com and some of her songs are translated .

Hello Greg - look at these.
from Angie
This is from Rola -
and I did these ones I thought these two were appropriate!

Greg - I just have one comment about your New Delhi electrician ''Shocking'', sorry, just had to say it!

Love TDN, thanks!

Thanks for the concern Greg. I have been out and about but there is much to do during the summer. So much beer to drink...so little time! I'll try and check in a little bit more! Just remember...someone has to keep Linda in check!

for the 'Double Fudge Chocolate Beaver Tail Pastry'. I'm sure that is not fattening. Have you posted the recipe? It looks absolutely yummy.

I sincerely hope it doesn't take ALL summer to build. I just have to figure out how to load my photos and get an avitar. The rest of this week time out while volunteering for all 5 concerts and company to boot. May have to go south for a few days next week before I next weekend.

The Utube was from a weekly TV show about 40 years ago. Don't know if you had 'laugh-in' up your way - but it was the ''in thing'' in the US.

again, I've enjoyed your site and choice of music. This place has a lot of friendly, bright & talented participants. I'm working up to being a Supporting Member.

Hi Greg, thanks for approving my pictures. I liked your comments! I should put an old Santa photo up that I have of my youngest sister (at that time) holding onto me & looking terrified. I still don't know if it was Santa or the photograhper that scared her which is why I made that comment on your Santa picture!

Onya Greg. (Oz for 'Good On Ya' or in other words an admirable/nice/thoughtful gesture on your part which must be acknowledged. Know what I mean?) Anyway - I can offer you in return a nice drop of Coonawarra Cab Sav and a slice of Pavlova, although probably best not to be taken at the same time as the pav is very sweet. Also goes straight to the hips.

C Greg, thanks for the visit to my page and taking a look at my quilts! I never think about how long a quilt will take, I just enjoy the process! The different steps involved are so different, designing the quilt, auditioning and choosing fabrics, cutting, sewing the blocks, sewing blocks together, choosing and adding the borders, well you get the idea. Do come back and visit me again, I hope soon to find and put up more photos of other quilts.

Since I tend to do this from time to time, I will leave a few empty beer cans for you to find later!

Okay...I'll leave empty Molson's all over your room! ... Just kidding. I'll leave a whole case (unopened) for you to enjoy!

Hi Greg, Thank you very much for the birthday wishes, I had a very nice day. Went to my favorite Mexican resturant, even had dessert 'flan' yum, yum.

Thanks Greg! It's so good to be back online!

Thanks CG - Have been busy tidying up the place and havn't had much time on the site apart from a bit of lurking now and again. Havn't yet put the house on the market - expect to in about a month or so. It's still winter and cold - the garden should begin to grow soon and the house will look better. The garden is one of its good features.

Greg - I thought I would do you a little favour and start pushing you to a new page.
So here we go - one, two, three Push

ooh, aah, push, shove, , OUCH! that hurt!
Just taking a little refreshment

Well, here goes again!
PUSH! SHOVE! HEAVE HO! THE WAY TO GO!
WE ARE THE FREO DOCKERS!
Whoops, I got a bit carried away with the song.
I reckon this should take me to the brink! Just put my hiking gear on to go that final distance.
