The Chairs Arrive!! Jan. 25/10

.

I thought I had taken some better pix than this, but this is all I seem to have:

Sunday School: Jan. 24/10

Making wooly sheep.

Ally's pic of the nice teacher!

Camp Gitchigomee Volunteer Appreciation: Jan. 23/10

This excellent dinner was also a celebration of Camp Gitchigomee's accreditation by the Ontario Camps Association.

The Dividing of the Kingdom of Israel.
It seems that the northern kingdom ended up with the guitar!

Tolkien's Birthday: Jan. 2/10

.
I gathered with a few LOTR fans to raise a glass to Prof. Tolkien on his birthday. We chose the Fox and Hedgehog where we did pay for drinks, although apparently they don't pay their bills. Perhaps we should have helped them out by patronizing their establishment more frequently.

The Olympic Torch in Thunder Bay: Jan. 3/10

.

I accompanied my friend, Shannon Kuchta, and her kids to watch her mother, Linda McNally, carry the torch out of the Bombardier Plant. Unfortunately, because she stopped to pose with her family, the van left her behind and she didn't get to go to the other stops in Thunder Bay.

The second picture is my attempt to be in a photo with the torch.

It was a very cold day: I lost feeling in my camera trigger finger for a while!

New Year's Eve '09/'10

.

I spent New Year's Eve (until c. 0330h) at the Kuchtas' with just a few of us, playing Scene It, Pit and Boggle.

Mike was in the way for this shot. So I just reached around his head and aimed as best I could.
