Quickly before the bus

My niece's Confirmation was last night. I'm a "spare" Godmother as they needed a Catholic one for the register, the proper Godparents are not Catholic so i offered my name. I was the only one there last night though, the other two couldn't make it so i got to go up to the altar with her and her parents. It was an hour and a half and was getting quite warm by the end with all those people in there. The mass and ceremony were nice though. Kids all wore white robes. I guess it was kind of nice that way, nobody had to worry about what to wear but it kind of put me in mind of a cult LOL I suppose that's what organized religion is in a way ;)))

Back at the house afterwards, Staci put up with us taking pictures. All the kids are so grown up!!! A far cry from those drooly babies with huge blue eyes and blonde spiky hair they used to be!

Off to the bus now...

Cars and Coins

The Canadian Mint is issuing a new silver 20$ coin commemorating a car that was built in New Brunswick for a few years in the 70's, The Bricklin. I want one of these coins! The link only tells part of the story. The company was government funded and in the end, the company lost so much money that the taxpayers were dinged for over 25 million! the gullwing sports car was ahead of it's time for safety features but according to this site the company went bankrupt because the cars were poorly made. The car is one neat looking car, i saw one in Halifax over the weekend and didn't have my camera with me. I think buddy is down on the waterfront on occaision on Saturday afternoons showing off the car so i will have to go check again.
