"My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too. This is my wish."

Well I still have to wait to get the papers done and the ceremony won't be until October (that's why there are not pictures of me in robes), but I have completed all the courses and projects with great grades, so I'm officialy a Physicist! =D
Unfortunately I still have things to do, as I have to prepare for the master Astrophysics courses. But the amount of free time has increased notoriously so I'll be able to resume my usual posting scheme! Yay! <3
Matthew graduated from preschool last week. Graduated, really? I'm reminded of the lines in Pixar's The Incredibles:
Bob: "It's not a graduation. He is moving from the 4th grade to the 5th grade."
Helen: "It's a ceremony!"
Bob: "It's psychotic! They keep creating new ways to celebrate mediocrity..."
Either way, of course I'm proud of him, and equally so he is so proud of himself. It truly is a big deal for him -- not to mention that I simply cannot believe this little guy is about to start Kindergarten. How time flies...
Recently i've been making the most of the crop fields near to where me and my girlfriend live. This time of year they offer decent foreground interest with the crops and trees and the wide open skies can be quite dramatic!

It's official. The last exam has been written and she has graduated with distinction from high school. I am so proud of my girl. She's worked hard and is getting ready to take on the world. But first, we celebrate
Clancy graduated from his beginning obedience class last night. Here is his sort of official graduation portrait
We are expecting a very unwelcome snowstorm, starting this afternoon. I need to get a few more overseas Christmas cards and letters written, so that I can hopefully get out to post them before any snow needs clearing off my car. Will have to finish off my descriptions later. (later, evening, maybe six or so inches of snow so far.)
Luckily, the snow didn't start until I was back home from running an errand or two. I also called in at the home of a man who has been making simple wooden Christmas trees. He has not been able to work (carpentry) after having surgery in September on his shoulder (rotator cuff issue, which I can relate to). So, he decided to make Christmas trees, using Spruce, to sell, for people to decorate in any way they choose. He even made the newspaper and TV, which was great. A lot of people in his community have been buying these trees and placing them outside in their front garden to bring some Christmas cheer to all the neighbours. A few people have come forward to help him with his creations, which was nice to see. A real entrepreneur, especially in a time of his own need, and in a year unlike any other. I have a lot of respect for you, Derek. You have certainly brought your community together and given so much pleasure! Great inspiration.

The first time I ever saw this beautiful old house/barn was on 18 July 2016, when my daughter and I did a very long drive from Calgary to the Drumheller area. Ever since then, I have wanted to go back and see it again, and yesterday, 20 December 2020, I finally found it once again. Earlier this year, I was just a road or two away from it. I had been sure I knew exactly where it stood, but learned that I really didn't. It has been updated to celebrate graduation time for 2020 - a very different kind of year and celebration for so many young people, thanks to the ongoing pandemic that has so far lasted almost a year. Well done, to all students who have been able to continue their education, whether online or in person, or a mix of both. Well done to all the parents out there, who have somehow managed to keep going, despite the enormous challenges of 2020. I don't know how you did it! Good luck in 2021, as the pandemic continues, but now with a lot more hope.
This is what I wrote about this colourful structure when I posted a photo back in 2016:
"As well as birds and beautiful scenery, we saw several old barns, including this old house/barn. Each year, the farmer allows the graduating class from the local high school to decorate this old building in any way they wish. A fun idea and it certainly adds a splash of colour. I was absolutely fascinated to read a little bit of history from someone who was a contact of mine on Flickr two or three years ago. Her Grandmother was apparently born in this house/barn. It was later converted to a granary and now, of course, has become the canvas for local students."
Yesterday, this barn was my main destination, and that is pretty much all I saw. Funny how days can be so different. I can see so many things one day, yet another outing to a different area on a different day results in maybe only a couple of dozen photos. No sign of any Snowy Owls this day.
BNSF freight M KLLSUP1 13A and its 65 cars of mixed merchandise traffic kick up a light dusting of snow as they roll east at a swift pace along the Casco Subdivision at Alborn. The train is ducking beneath a plate girder bridge of the long since abandoned DMIR Alborn Branch that once ran between here at Alborn, off a connection with the Missabe Sub, 42 miles northwest to the town of Pengilly. With the rails torn up and gone, the old roadbed now plays host to pedestrian traffic as a scenic bike and ATV trail. This train runs once a week between Minnesota's Iron Range and Superior, WI, bringing back cars the railroad's Kelly Lake local (R TWI854) gathers up during its week of work up here in the region. The two EMD SD40-2s have no trouble handling the light weight, 3800 foot train with 64 of its 65 cars being empty, amounting to all of 2300 tons. At Brookston, just a short distance ahead, the train will make a left turn and join up with the Lakes Subdivision for the remainder of its trip to 28th St Yard in Superior.
