Boring Work Afternoon

Hello all

Here I sit in front of my work computer, except I don't have any work for the next 75 minutes.
So I thought this be a good time to touch base with you all.
I just copied the pictures from my last 3 weeks from my camera to my jump drive.
Mostly, if not all the time, I take pictures when I'm a Ursi & Jeff's at the Liebenzell Mission Centre once a week volunteering.  Taking pictures of the happenings there is an ongoing job Jeff gave me.

Here at home in Kitchener I just take life day by day.  Some days I feel better than others, some days I struggle more with Obsessive-Compulsive thoughts than others. 

I also feel a bit stressed because the church I go to is changing location.  We just bought a new building that will be more on the edge of town and not as easy to get to with the bus for me, but not impossible.  It's just change and I don't like change.  Also there will be some months of renovations ahead in the new building so, I really don't know what going to church will be like (fear of the unknown), but I still want to stick with it.

What has become a hobby of mine was that I put a considerable amount of money into buying TV shows on DVD.  Most of them are Criminal investigation shows like Criminal Minds, CSI-NY, CSI Miami, Flashpoint, but I also bout some shows like ER and MacGyver  and from years back I have on DVD Texas Ranger Walker and Night Rider (the old searies), and Touched by an Angle.  So lately I watch DVD's and not TV of my Bunny Ear Antenna where I only get one channel anyways (CTV).  Plus I enjoyed watching some TV shows online in English and German.

The following are some pictures of me and the 2 volunteers (Andy & Marcel) at the Liebenzell Mission cutting down dead trees in the forest to make it look nice and clean.  We make piles with the cut up trees for rabbits and squirrels to hide.  I also added some extra pictures that I like.

Restacking and heating up the oven in the main hall:

I just couldn't resist putting this picture of Maya in here.
She's doing such a good job riding the horse or ponny (I think it is).

Family Memories

Over the last week I went through all the pictures I had in digital form on my computer since 2001 and there where a lot of them.  Here are a few special ones that I'd like to share here.  The highlights of the last 10 years so to speak.  Enjoy.

The first few pictures are Christmas time.  Don't remember of hand which year.

In the next two pictures I want to clarify for those who don't know,  Jeff wasn't drinking alcohol.  He was just pretending, because we had a really good "nivo-sturtz"  which means we were hyper and happy-silly.  The bottle was empty and mom uses it to put home made syrup concentrate into.

This looks like a walk sometimes in the fall.

This picture was taken much later when mom & dad's trailer was still in the 3rd Lot.

My University of Guelph: Diploma in Agriculture 2 year program Graduation:

Me working at the YMCA folding towls for the Men's Plus and Women's Plus change rooms.
I still do this job to this day.  I started in January 2006.

I think this is one of the best pictures of Grosi and Grosvater.
I think it is also the first picture I ever took on any camera on my own.

Do you remember this picture Chris?  It was a trip you and I took up to Tobermory.  You weren't married yet at the time.

This is me thinking:  "Hey why can't big kids get a picture with Santa Clause?  I'm even bigger than him, almost squishing him.  This was at the University of Guelph.  Later I got another one taken once I had moved to Kitchener.

Our family has definately grown since this picture was taken!!!
