Or at least he said that he was coming. My husband is not “handy.” He’s better just going to work and paying the bills than attempting anything remotely “hands on.” So we have had our share of handymen over the years. Some have been disasters – out of work engineers who despise small jobs, but need […]
Well I started out a little slowly with the “things I have never done blog challenge” so I guess that I had better step things up and post the other 8 “never dones, had or hoped to achieve” things, or I’ll be left behind with the next challege!!! Some of these “nevers” are things that
There is another challenge over at the blog/photography thread at V7N – Make a list of 10 things that you have never done and blog about them. 1. I had no problem making the list – it could have gone on forever 10, 100, 1,000 probably closer to a million. When I asked whether the
I’m just back from a quick overnight trip to the 1,000 Islands in the St. Lawrence River at Gananoque (ga-nan-knock-way). We haven’t had a proper holiday in two years, ever since we stopped going away with the kids; but we have managed a few interesting overnights. We stayed at Glen House right on the banks
This week’s photography challenge is “Lines.” Fortunately the heat is off for “Portraits.” I did find though that if I asked to take a person’s picture, they really didn’t mind at all – ask and you shall receive!! “Lines” lead a person into and out of a picture, as in railway tracks that seem to

That is to say that the various personalities in the group are not in competition with each other; but that someone has suggested that we all answer the question “who am I?” This challenge, in a public situation, is “high threat”
Today, I asked a twenty something where to buy a CD. Yes, you’re right I got some very weird looks and the mumbled comment, “I haven’t bought a CD in years.” Well, yes and this is probably why I am asking. My local HMV has closed – being replaced by an Urban Outfitter store. I wasn’t
I just had to post today to acknowledge the passing of Steve Jobs. The blog heading is not mine; it is the heading used by the Globe this morning. This was the Globe’s front page – it surpassed the Ontario election in importance (no kidding!!!). I don’t think that I will ever cancel my subscription,
This is the sixth time that we have gone out for Nuit Blanche – an all night outdoor art extravaganza that takes over the city from 7:00pm to 7:00am. About a million people pour onto the streets of downtown Toronto to catch as many outdoor (some indoor) art installations as possible. I love Nuit Blanche
Silly me ….silly camera….or both. I have been struggling with negative space for a few days so I decided that I had to “set up” another picture. There I was in my dressing gown (it’s becoming my work uniform), in the morning, in the dark, realizing that I had to light a match, to light
