CANADIAN RAILWAY TRILOGY

A photo of our 2 youngest a long time ago on the tracks at Kinley Saskatchewan, which run due east or so the Iron Horse upon the Great Plains go.

As he sung:

“For there was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not run
When the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun
Long before the white man and long before the wheel
When the green dark forest was too silent to be real
When the green dark forest was too silent to be real
And many are the dead men, too silent to be real”

HAPPY CANADA DAY MY FELLOW CANADIANS!

With LOVE to you all and all that heaven will allow…

From,

Sir Richard…

SIR RICHARD’s CALGARY FLOOD 2013

SIR RICHARD’s CALGARY FLOOD 2013

https://picasaweb.google.com/102862599053394766135/SirRichardsCalgaryFlood2013?authkey=Gv1sRgCIPkyL-x5PH8cA#slideshow/5892133867710707698

These are my photos of Calgary’s now historic flood. Only as a kid in the 1960’s

did it flood like this and in the 1920’s as the ice flows during Spring break up on the Bow and Elbow rivers.

In the 1960’s to around 1970’s the town of Bowness and Montgomery where flooded quite bad from the bow river and since then, only Spring rains and mountain snow runoff seemed to flood the poor Homes and Apartments along the Elbow River below the Glenmore Reservoir.

Though I am only an amateur photographer my health (Heart Disease) makes it hard to walk down to the river. Also the Police had the area blocked off and with good reason. It would just take falling into an open man-hole or driving into one to ruin your day big time!

I hope you like my photos and here is a song to go with my Eye Candy.

To give those an idea of how bad the damage is I added the below video, though we are not bad off as Katrina (which I assisted in clean up) or the poor folks who suffered through Hurricane Sandy.

AND THE WATERS RECEDED…
THE SUN ONCE AGAIN SHONE UPON THE LAND.
AS LIFE SLOWLY RETURNED TO THE NORM.

May the LORD bless you
and keep you my Brother;
may the LORD make HIS face shine on you
and be gracious to you;may the LORD turn HIS face toward you
and give you HIS precious peace.
A few photos of Ray, but back then film and developing were costly!
We of course had other silly things to buy and this was our version of “That 70’s Show”.

I am now so numb my Brother. I prayed in my Church for you today. That God would
put any sin of yours upon me, as I will repent and you may enter heaven.
See you there, with Love and tears.

RAYMOND LIDGREN IS NOW WITH THE LORD

Hi Richard

I am sorry to tell you that Ray died just this last Saturday June 15th in Kelowna. You probably know that his health has been poor and getting progressively worse for some time. His son Adam was out to see him a couple of weeks ago and unfortunately his conditions progressed to the end.
I am also sorry to hear about your health difficulties. I wish you some measure of improvement and I hope you have good support from your family.
Take care,
Ann.

Thank You Ann!

This must have been hard to tell me and I am so sad. I am tears, as I was so close in contacting him, as I should have made a better attempt but I have only myself to blame. This is so horrible, so sad… I am in Shock.

Do you know if Ray is having a Service that I could attend?

If I may share some of my belief, please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

As I believe, that Ray’s passing is more to be envied then pitied, for we mere mortals cannot distinguish between those who are deserving of grace and who are not.

Only the Lord can and as such, with all knowing He knows, of the good person that is Ray.

I am confident that your Ray now enjoys that bliss, which is prepared only for the good and virtuous as deep inside Ray is.

You can now comfort yourselves in reflecting that your Ray now enjoys in substance, what we in this world, can only imagine what heaven will be like.

May the Lord give you and your family the strength, to see you all through this difficult time. Well, this is what I believe…

My deepest, deepest condolences.

MORGAN NICK's UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

MORGAN NICK’S UNCONDITIONAL LOVE
http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=ozKsQnRHb-c
Where ever you are;
Know Morgan, that you are LOVED and cherished, dearly & forever.
You have nothing to fear.
For LOVE is overwhelmingly always dominant over Evil and it is ultimately triumphant!
Boil this message down into just one sentence; “MORGAN YOU ARE LOVED”
Or boil it down to just one word from GOD to us all and that is; “LOVE”.
LOVE is the basis of everything. Not some abstract, hard to fathom kind of LOVE. Which we may feel day to day but the kind of LOVE we feel when we look at LOVING Friends, LOVING Family, Our Spouse, Children and yes, even our Animals. In its purest and most powerful form LOVE is not jealous or selfish but a LOVE WHICH IS UNCONDITIONAL!
So Morgan you are LOVED, LOVED unconditionally just as we are ALL LOVED by GOD!

Posted IN REMEMBRANCE OF MORGAN NICK and to you all with LOVE!
Also with all that heaven will allow, because we have no fire flies up here.
Sincerely,
Sir Richard…
