Sorry I haven’t posted in a while.
 I am in Bavaria on leave right now. Yesterday at 13:30 GMT+1 my mom died after a year long battle with cancer. Several radical operations as well as 3 months of chemo therapy had no effect and her cancer just seemed to grow faster and faster. I spoke to her last [...]

I think this weekend was the first time our whole family went to the beach together since we first moved up here in 1997. Both Tonica and I are not beach people (which we both reconfirmed that day). The kids had a great time though – once they got over the pecker factor. Yes, penises [...]

A year ago our baby granddaughter Isabella was born. She still is a wonderful addition to our family. It seems every day a little more of her bubbly personality emerges and she hardly ever shows the true ‘female’ side of her emotions (other than when she is tired or hungry – which women never grow out of…) most of [...]

The first of Feb ‘08 marked our granddaughter’s 9 month mark. We took a picture at the beginning of every month to track the fast changes she would be going through. Using this software I morphed some of the best pictures together to form this animated GIF below. Hope you like…

Happy New Year everyone – (or should I say Snakeye who is the only one who reads this page !!)
Here are my favorite attempts at photographing fireworks… I have to say most of it is pure luck…
Hope your 2008 is better than my 2007,
Limey.

Merry Christmas to all – stay in touch for 2008 !!

For the last few years I have always written a short recap of the last year in our lives for all the friends and family we only seem to keep in touch with over christmas. We missed last year, but this year it was time to continue the tradition. I was going to write a [...]

Finally. The wait is over and we are once again self reliant without the need for ‘rides’ and ‘borowed cars’. We bought a Blue Ford Galaxy to complement my Yellow POS. The mileage on the van is a lot better than the Chrysler and the insurance is cheaper too. It now ‘only’ costs €70 to [...]

Haven’t written in a while, I know. The break in my Eurofighter training actually came as a blessing when I suddenly had to take emergency leave. My mom ended up in hospital and after talking with her on the phone I immediately booked a flight down to bavaria. She sounded really bad, and the day [...]

I think I will be renamed soon. From Limey to Opa Limey. Opa being the german nickname for Grandpa. For most of you in the know this won’t come as a surprise to you (especially if you have read my previous entries), but I still have fun with people when I mention nonchalantly that I [...]

Just thought I’d share a few of my favorite pictures Tonica sent me of our baby Granddaughter. I have to do this at work, just to have a fighting chance of uploading that much data…so here goes:

Don’t have time or stable enough internet for a full post … This just in … I became a Grandfather yesterday to a beautiful baby granddaughter named Isabella Ann. Mother and Daughter, and Grandmother are doing fine, more to follow with pictures once I have less than a 16h day and can go somewhere where [...]

Just some small updates on what’s going on. I’ve been spending some time outside in the nice weather with my laptop – not because I wanted to, but because I can’t seem to get consistent Wireless reception in my room. Once I go outside I can access the internet, but can barely see the screen…trade [...]

Check out the Photogallery and Picture of the Week… I’m still working on getting comments to work on additional pages. I’ll update once that’s possible.

I like to brag how someone like me could get such a girl… this was taken on New Years.
 Happy Valentines Day, Babes!
