It's amazing what a little pat on the back

does for someone's ego. I've always loved photography. And I must say I am having a love fest with my new digital slr ... it takes the most amazing pictures - and I haven't even scratched the surface I'm sure learning how it works!

My mom's online group suggested a 365 project - a picture a day ... and wow - as hard as it is to be creative ... I am having fun - and sometimes I get a picture that generates a lot of feedback... it's cool that other people who love photography are loving my pics!!!

Look to the right and you'll see the link to my pics... have a look and keep coming back!!!

Another amazing song from church!!

it was one of those songs that left me speechless!!

How He Loves Us - Kim Walker / Jesus Culture

lyrics:

He is jealous for me
Love's like a hurricane, I am a tree
Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy
When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory
and I realize just how beautiful You are and how great your affections are for me.
Oh, how He loves us so
Oh, how He loves us
How He loves us so.

Yeah, He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves.

So we are His portion and He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes
If grace is an ocean we're all sinking
So heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss and my heart turns violently inside of my chest
I don't have time to maintain these regrets when I think about the way

That he loves us,
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves

He loves us,
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves

What do you do when it's cold???

I go to my favourite coffee shop - so creatively captured in this pic I found on flickr. Click here to see cool pic Let me tell you about Grand Cafe. There's no where like it in the world!! First of all it serves my favourite coffee - Seattle's Best javanilla! And they make me feel like Norm from Cheers when I walk in.

For the past few months (feels like forever)... the Main St. bridge has been under construction making it very hard to get my javanilla. I've parked just about everywhere to keep up my addiction to this place. In the nicer weather it's been easy but in the winter can be a bit of a challenge. Let's face it - I'm a wuss and it is COLD out there.

Their soups and baked goods ROCK too! Jessie loves stopping by before hockey for a cookie... they are HUGE! There's nothing like grabbing some soup and sitting in their newly expanded sitting area - looking at the great work of local artists hanging on the walls... I really love it!!!!

In the nicer weather you can go sit in the middle of the square where the fountain is... and look at the amazing churches - so beautiful (see the reflection in flickr pic). This is a cool link to the fountain which until this very second I didn't realize is shaped like a maple leaf?! Click here to see the fountain

Today I'm drinking my javanilla while wearing a warm poncho made by my friend Judy's mom ... makes me feel snuggly... If you look in my 365 pics of the year you'll see Jessie all snuggled up yesterday! She had on a hat, hoodie and her winter coat had 2 hoods - that's four layers on her head LOL!

I had to buy her a new coat last night because she struggles with the zipper on this one... my kids and zippers on their coats - ugh. It is quite a pretty blue though and it's super warm with two coats in one ... she loves it!

So tell me - what do you do when you are cold???????
