Philip Jones Photographer

In 1977 I went to England with the Ontario Youth Concert Band and stayed as a guest in Philip's parents home. Philip turned out to be a pretty good fellow and we've stayed in touch for all these years.  Even in the very olden times Philip was keen on taking photos.

He has got very good at it.

Check out it site and see what I mean.

How we all start out.

Clara and Opa, five days old. Clara that is.

For the general information of my readers.  Clara and I started out in the world at nearly the same size.  When she is 53 I don't expect she will be 6ft.1 in. tall, and 265 lbs. So, just because we started out the the same size doesn't mean we must end up the same.
Legend has it that I also had blue eyes as a tiny baby.

I have my doubts about it, let me know if it is easier to read or not.

extra large dominoes

   When Eva and I were in Spain we went to a store that featured products much like Ikea but Spanish.  There were many interesting things to see, one of which was these dominoes.
   The dominoes were about 5 inches long and were then suitable for playing with outside or would be good for little people that play on the floor or back deck as readily as play on a table.
    I was thinking of making some, is there anyone out there that would like a set, for a reasonable price?  With things like this it is always much for time efficient to make a couple of sets at a time.

Oma and Clara Ocean Solaris Jackson

Clara for a great Canadian athlete, Clara Hughes  http://www.clara-hughes.com/

Ocean because when Kieran was asked what the baby should be called he said ocean.  He had been on holiday with Mommy and Oma to Mexico where he played very happily in the ocean.


Solaris, she is her Daddy's little ray of sunshine.


Jackson, family name.


Everyone is well and thriving.  She was born at lunch time yesterday and should be coming home today.
