The government takes one and gives it to your neighbor. Communism: You have two cows. You give them to the Government, and […]
When I need a lift, I often turn to poetry or photography. We went out last Sunday to buy electrical adaptors so we could plug our phones and computers into French outlets, while on vacation – The French Connections, maybe. Fortunately the owner of The Travel Store on Cumberland knew which one(s) we needed from
Last night at dinner, we were discussing an article which appeared a few days ago in The Toronto Star. Apparently the city is going to build a few cat townhouses here and there throughout the city to protect feral cats from bitterly cold winters, such as the one we have just had!! Feral cats are

This has all happened before and I know it will all happen again. It’s Sunday morning and I haven’t an idea in my head for a post 🙂 There was lots of “stuff” on FB, but again, much of it was repetitive – trite memes, boring lists, not-so-cute animal tricks – sigh. I flipped around
Lee Anne Dalton posted to my FB wall about a dream she had. She dreamt that she could ride a unicycle. Well, I just happen to have a unicycle in my basement. Really a house is not complete without one 🙂 Actually, when my daughter was a councillor at a circus camp a few years
I was reading a blog post the other day on fairies and the belief that they really exist.
