It’s another sunny day today and… 1. Luckily my son got his act together and submitted all that was needed for one program at Ryerson. We just have 4 more to do! 2. Fortunately also my daughter called at the appointed time (once a week from university) and discussed baseball with her Dad – a […]
Imbolc February 1 is St. Brigid’s Day or Imbolc – the Irish festival marking the beginning of Spring. The other Irish festivals that follow the seasons are – Beltane (May 1), Lughnasadh (Aug. 1) and Samhain (Nov 1.) On these days, the ancient Irish believed that the water of the “otherworld” entered our world through
Another lovely day – bright and sunny and just a little below zero – this in itself is lucky…plus…. 1. Did a three mile walk today. I always consider being able to do these things very lucky! 2. Fortunately, the 18-year-old hung in there and wrote up the essays for which he had done the
It’s Saturday and a lovely bright and sunny day, though a little cold; but my luck today was…. 1. Fortunately, the ladder was in the house and not frozen outside somewhere, because that meant that I could wash the bathroom ceiling – what a lucky break 🙂 2. The Globe had a little article and
Crocheted Car Cover by Agata Oleksiak Just when you think that you’ve seen everything, along comes someone like Agata Oleksiak.

Dryad from Woolly Wormhead OK, I think that it’s time to move to a higher plane. I know that getting out of parking spots, fixing wiper blades for rear windows, buying Cranberry scones etc… is the stuff of life; but, every once in a while we need to be catapulted out of the mundane, however,
I’m having to turn over every stone or chunk of ice to find a little luck in an otherwise dreary week; but…. 1. I managed to fix the windshield wiper on my rear window. The ice build up had pulled the rubber away from the housing. At first I thought that it was “finished”; but
It’s milder today, but a little grey so we may have to work a little harder at being lucky! 1. Fortunately, I got a return e-mail from another knitter who had been at Vogueknitting live. She also said that Lynette’s entry was fantastic and should have won! 2. My eye exam went well today. I
This has to be a lucky day, it’s Robbie Burns’ day and… 1. Luckily, Kim Finlay posted to my Facebook Wall the fact that an unpublished letter from Robbie Burns had been found under some floors boards in a castle in the South of Scotland. I love these lucky finds! 2. I was able to
