Un merci bien sincère à Gail et David pour nous avoir acceuilli chez eux pour célébrer les anniversaires de Martin, Alex et moi (Gail a jouer la rôle de grande soeur à Sophie afin d'alléger en partie la tâche de recevoir pendant la période des impôts) et aussi a celles et ceux qui ont participé à la préparation. La fête a débuté par une promenade en voiture, il y avait un magnifique soleil; et au retour un délicieux repas.
Dream Catcher
When you give a dreamcatcher as a gift to someone you share the story and legend of the gift with the person you give it to. When they are asked about the beautiful dreamcatcher hanging in their room they can then share the story of you giving the gift to them and the history of the dreamcatcher to the person who asked. By creating this cycle we allow our loved ones and friends to remember we are thinking of them whenever they look at the dreamcatcher they were given.
A dreamcatcher is much more than just a simple gift, it tells the person you give it to that you care about their well being and peace of mind. - Merci Martin +

Bonnie and Clyde, they thought. And what’s-his-name, the sidekick. Three teenagers with dead-end lives, and chips on their shoulders, and guns.
The first person they killed was a highway patrolman. The second was a woman during a robbery. Then, hell, why not keep on going? As their crime spree cuts a swath through rural Minnesota, some of it captured on the killers’ cell phones and sent to a local television station, Bureau of Criminal Apprehension investigator Virgil Flowers joins the growing army of cops trying to run them down. But even he doesn’t realize what’s about to happen next.

Prosecutor sees Punxsutawney Phil pushing daisies for forecast fraud
Are Punxsutawney Phil's days numbered after an Ohio prosecutor indicted him and said he deserves the death penalty?
An Ohio prosecutor says Punxsutawney Phil should bWith tongue planted firmly in cheek, Michael Gmoser, the prosecuting attorney in Butler County, filed court papers this week indicting the world-famous groundhog for "misrepresentation of early spring" and announcing his intention to seek the death penalty.
"This is a ground-breaking indictment," Gmoser said Friday as he fielded phone calls from around the world about the light-hearted legal battle. "There's a lot of people who want a piece of him. I know because I'm getting recipes from around the country."
On Feb. 2, Phil forecast an early spring when he emerged from his Pennsylvania home and did not see his shadow. Six weeks later, Gmoser looked out his window to snow, high winds and frigid air.
"I said to someone, 'Phil let us down. I ought to indict the little rascal.' They said, 'Why don't you?' and I said, 'I think I will,'" the prosecutor said.
He said he had to seek the ultimate penalty because otherwise the indictment would have had no teeth.
Courtesy Butler County prosecutor's officeButler County prosecutor Michael Gmoser filed indictment papers against Punxsutawney Phil for falsely predicting an early spring.
"Phil right now is in jail, behind bars, serving a life sentence. Because of that, there's nothing left for Phil but the death penalty," Gmoser said.
He was laughing, but sadly, not everyone got the joke.
"Frankly, I have received a number of phone calls from people who think this is a serious story," he said. "It's a spoof. We do some real serious work regarding rape, murder and mayhem and it's something to lighten the spirits of folks around here."
Phil could not be reached for comment, but Jeffrey Lundy, vice president of the Punxsutawney Ground Hog Club, said there was no chance of extradition.
“He's going to have to go through 15 licensed hunters to get to Phil,” Lundy told Triblive.com.

John Lescroart’s millions of fans have been waiting three years for the return of San Francisco defense attorney Dismas Hardy and his buddy, detective Abe Glitsky—and in that time John Lescroart’s popularity has continued to soar. Now, Hardy and Glitsky reunite in a story filled with the big themes that are worthy of them—the intersection of love, betrayal, and a desperate search for the truth in a critical matter of national security.
When Dismas Hardy agrees to clean up the caseload of recently disappeared attorney Charlie Bowen, he thinks it will be easy. But one of the cases is far from small-time—the sensational clash between National Guard reservist Evan Scholler and an ex-Navy SEAL and private contractor named Ron Nolan. Two rapid-fire events in Iraq conspired to bring the men into fatal conflict: Nolan’s relationship with Evan’s girlfriend, Tara, a beautiful schoolteacher back home in the States; followed by a deadly incident in which Nolan’s apparent mistake results in the death of an innocent Iraqi family as well as seven men in Evan’s platoon. As the murky relationship between the U.S. government and its private contractors plays out in the personal drama of these two men, and the consequences become a desperate matter of life and death, Dismas Hardy begins to uncover a terrible and perilous truth that takes him far beyond the case and into the realm of assassination and treason.
From the treacherous streets of Iraq to the courtrooms of California, Betrayal is not only John Lescroart’s most ambitious and provocative novel, it is a magnificent tour de force of pure storytelling.
Début du printemps.......
La saison des sucres est entamée mais en suspend : pour que la sève monte il doit faire au dessus de zéro durant le jour et sous zéro la nuit; à date nous avons eu 6 jours au dessus de zéro.
Si c'est la neige des merles, les pauvres doivent avoir les pattes gelées.....
et il devrait rester la neige des grenouilles , mais les étangs sont encore gelés et elles font du surplace en attendant le dégel .
