Dog Sledding

Cross another thing off the Bucket List!!! Dog Sledding. What an absolute kick. Fun with a capital F. The weather was an easy -10F and Cindy didn't want to drive the team so that left the two hour tour to me to drive. Absolutely fun. The dogs were great. I would do it again in a heartbeat. As a matter of fact they have a two day trip, overnight. . . . I'm . . . .thinking . . . .

Dinner

We had our Anniversary dinner at this restaurant called Rustica. It was awesome. We started with bread and three kinds of dipping oil; chili, sun dried tomato, and garlic basel. Then salad for me, candied walnut with raspberry vinaigrette and Cindy had Chipotle Yam soup (Awesome). Then filet cut of prime canadian beef, totally awesome and for dessert, an apple-cranberry crust and a white chocolate eggnog infused Torte. I was sick, was so full. The best part was that it was my Anniversary dinner. What a great way to start off the next 20 years!!!

Canada

I heard a comedian describe Canada as "The attic that you never go into, but once you do you realize all the cool stuff there is up here. I love Canada. It is an beautiful country. I would love to come here more!!!

20 Years

20 years ago I got married. my wife is wonderful, awesome, caring, and a whole lot more. One of the funny things i am finding out is the rarity of being married for 20 years. When we tell someone that the 28th is our 20th anniversary the response we usually get is WOW congrats, that's a long time, and it is rare to find a couple together for that long. Interesting. We are the rarity not the rule. Very Interesting...

Christmas Day

Its early morning Christmas Day and I am up. The strange thing about this morning is that no one else is!!! All the kids are still in bed and if I don't wake them up (which I'm not going to do), then they will all sleep till noon. Why you ask? On Christmas morning, the only morning were kids always get up before parents. Well we did things a little different this year. Cindy had to work Christmas day and so we decided to move our christmas up a day. The kids loved it!!! By Christmas eve all the events done at our house were over, opening gifts, Church service, big dinner, games, cards. And now it is Christmas day and we get to sleep in and hang with family. Not a bad idea.

My Baby

This is my baby. I have four babies and they are all precious. They all have the same last name, Talbert, but they are all so different. This baby of mine is going under the knife tomorrow morning. And even though I have seen and witnessed numerous people go through various levels of medical treatment. This one is my baby. As a man I stand strong, unwavering, sturdy and rock solid. As a parent I worry, I pray, and am brought to my knees at the mere thought of my baby not well. I love my babies. I love this baby. And all I can do is entrust them. . . Entrust her. . . To God's loving hands.
