Tante Marianne's Life, The Universe and Everything: Leaving Ottawa

http://tantemari.blogspot.com/2015/08/leaving-ottawa.html

Tuesday, August 4, 2015. This is my nephew Daniel. My nephew and his family are saying good-bye to Canada this week. They'll soon be winging their way to Utah for a much-needed home leave in the bosom of their family! They recently caught an Ottawa Senators hockey game, where these photos were taken, because you need to see a hockey game before you leave Canada. It's the law. Livia is distracted as her mom tries to get her to pose for a photo. I have to admit I'm very excited about seeing them again!

Tante Marianne's Life, The Universe and Everything: Spreading the Gospel in Texas

http://tantemari.blogspot.com/2015/08/spreading-gospel-in-texas.html

Tuesday, August 11, 2015. Spreading the Gospel in Texas. My Nephew Anders (far right) together with their latest convert ready for baptism. My nephew, Elder Anders, who is currently serving as an LDS missionary in the wilds of Texas, wrote a very happy, bouncy, and cheery letter home this week. He was happy because they had a lovely investigator who was baptized on Saturday, and confirmed a member of the church on Sunday. I do miss family. Gatherings. Families are central to God's plan. That's one. Howev...

Tante Marianne's Life, The Universe and Everything: August 2015

http://tantemari.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html

Tuesday, August 25, 2015. At the Hogle Zoo. I see from the above photo that the King of the Jungle is enjoying his summer! My friend Meldee attended the Hogle Zoo recently and took these great photos. I love cats. Little ones. Big ones. It doesn't matter. However, the big ones are harder to pet and cuddle with impunity. This Lion Father looks rather tranquil and happy. I think the Lion Father is happy because he has a cute wife. She likes just hanging out in the summer, too. The Circle of Liiiiiiiife.

Tante Marianne's Life, The Universe and Everything: March 2015

http://tantemari.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html

Tuesday, March 31, 2015. Crazy Sock Hop Workday. Socks that look like tennies. The last Friday of March (the 27th) we had crazy sock day at work. Ivy dropped by my office to model her socks. It's strange how this activity did not seem to appeal to the men in our firm. Only one, Dodds, participated. However, he represented the other menfolk well, his socks were pretty funny! Dodds had black-toed socks. The women, on the other hand, participated with gusto! Sabrina's pink socks had cute pom-poms on the back.

Friday, January 30, 2015. Jack in the Box. Checking boxes is hard work. Hi, my name is Jack. I live with my human mom. It's just the two of us, and let me tell you, I have an active lifestyle taking care of my human! First, I have to inspect all the boxes that come into our house. Inspecting the afghan on my chair. okay, I know it looks like I'm sleeping. Second, I'm keeping a good watch on, well, everything. You never know what kind of stuff might be lurking in mom's tote bags! Posted by Auntie Em.

Tante Marianne's Life, The Universe and Everything: November 2014

http://tantemari.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Wednesday, November 26, 2014. You can just make out the musician behind the bar. In this photo of the Swiss Restaurant interior. I have a dear friend who, every now and then, drags me along on culinary adventures. So, I shouldn't have been surprised on Friday night to be whisked off to Valley Glen to the Swiss Chef Restaurant. Valley Glen is an area close to Van Nuys, and, believe me, an unlikely place for a good restaurant. This time was something even more fun! These statues greet visitors in the foyer.

Tante Marianne's Life, The Universe and Everything: The Gum Wall

http://tantemari.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-gum-wall.html

Monday, August 10, 2015. My nephew Nils and Rachel at the Gum Wall. My thoughts exactly, Rachel! Nothing is more American than chewing gum. That should make the Market Theatre Gum Wall, a local landmark in Downtown Seattle, one of the most iconic sites in America. This is a brick alleyway covered in (gross! Used chewing gum. The gum encrusted wall is about 50 feet long, 15 feet high and several inches thick. Kirsti and Jay at the Gum Wall. Posted by Auntie Em. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Confessi...

Tante Marianne's Life, The Universe and Everything: February 2015

http://tantemari.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Friday, February 27, 2015. Rick Springfield's Working Class Dog Tour Tee, 1981. Today is Wear Your Favorite Rock Band Tee Shirt day here at the office. Later, we'll have cake for all the February birthdays. Wearing funny theme shirts and celebrating birthdays are nice ways to end each month. I began reflecting on some of the artists I've seen in concert through the years:. Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. That's an eclectic list, isn't it? Who have you seen in concert? Who do you wish you could have seen?
