2010 Woohooo!!!! It feels like it's guunna be a good one folks.

Merry Christmas to all and may 2010 be filled with love, happiness, good luck and prosperity from all of us here at Green Acres.

Sad days at Green Acres, our beloved ball retriever passed on due to unexpected illness. Enjoy them while you have them.

ATV Tango

Here are some pic's of Toga in hospital after her tango with an ATV. A week later she tried out for Saint John Idol ... we thought she was a shoe in for the top ten but the judges did not share our view. :<>

Oh well, maybe next year?

Nice Teets

These little gems are superior pests in the community. They cost a lot to keep; expensive on vehicle maintenance; and are nasty viral carriers. Our suburb is over flowing with deer that pose quite a controversy over how to cull the herd verses home owners adding to the problem by feeding these cute destroyers of our garden oasis'.

I was able to snap this shot as one doe stopped me on the drive home (about 100 yards from our driveway) so her fawns could cross in the road to feed.

Row Row Row Your Boat.

Sarah after kicking some serious arse rowing, she rowed with the boys over 16 and won, the reason she rowed with boys is because there wasn't any girls who could compete at her level. She is a monster when you put an orr in her hands both strength wise and mental toughness [ rows till she barffs].

We're still here ...

and have been checking the blog every other day but have not had time to post any new pics of current events in our world as time is currently spent with the up and coming exams next week. I expect you have exams or similar tests in your part of the globe? The girls will be writing next week one exam per day (two hours + each) as well as their English proficiency tests (part one) Tuesday afternoon ... they must past this test or the will not graduate from High School. Estrogen levels are high ... I expect Nuc has or will have OT next week. I will be working OT to ensure report accuracy and timelines are met ... it is good to have teenagers - they can bet the #$#$%# out of each other and I will not be here. :>

Miss you all,
Woody

Hit with Snow Again!

Awoke this am to more snow ... radio indicates 19 cm's, you be the jug.

Yes, the deck was previously shoveled.

On Christmas eve one of our family traditions is having rappy pie (probably not spelled correctly as it is a french Acadian dish) at Fennships. The boys and girls are excited to open one present received from a special friend or family member. Food, drinks, story telling and jesting make for a grand time.

An exciting night at Fennships has Toga spent.

The girls and I (Woody) went to Mom's for Boxing Day and enjoyed herding through the swarm of relations that gather each year. As I have an extremely large family, visiting is impossible but our girls get a quick view of their aunts, uncles and cousins.

We rang out the old & in the new year with family and friends.

The evening began at Granan's Restaurant for a wonderful seafood dinner than moved to the 69 branch legion on the west side of town for dancing, where we ran into one of Longwood's sister-in-laws.

Nuc & Woody

Terri's dad's (centre singing) band played, great singing & music of old made a wonderful finish to a fabulous evening.

Here's wishing you all a Happy and Safe 2008!
