Share-a-pic

I just found another photo-sharing site – imgur.com. The pictures are really funny and don’t require professional photography skills – just a sense of humour. I have tried posting in a few on-line photography collections that actually made your photographs available for sale.  Needless to say, I have not sold one of mine. Maybe this […]

I Scream, You Scream….

We all scream for ice cream – well maybe not these flavours. I know that I post a lot from Mental Floss – alas, I may have met my soulmate in a nerdy, mensa magazine – and my own IQ isn’t even up there with the biggies or the nerdies or something. Anyway, if they

The Brain Idles…..

I am sitting here at the kitchen table thinking. Actually I’m not really thinking productively, I’m just letting thoughts idle around in my head. Well, I am trying to come up with an idea for a blog this morning and I have had some “idea glimmers.” Can I call them that? These are the thoughts

Animated Books

OK, I didn’t get an idea for a blog today until about 5:00pm, when I decided to read what I had recommended to other bloggers, as good blog topic material and it worked!! I keyed in “video of the day” and was directed to Mashable.com – a site that I usually find very interesting. Fortunately

Awww Shucks…

Or may be that should be “Awe Shucks.” Every once in a while the supermarket that we use has a special on oysters. This weekend they had Malpeque Bay oysters at the amazing price of $13.00 for 33 oysters. When you consider that oysters in a restaurant can cost as much as $3.00 or $4.00

Will that be circus with your chicken and chips?

Dinner, for us, is a kind of celebration.  It’s a time when we sit down and share the events of the day, celebrate what worked and re-examine what didn’t. It’s a time to connect with the present, relate it to the past and possibly suggest implications for the future!!  OK, it’s a little grand for

Paradiso Lost…

My usual coffee at The Second Cup is a small Paradiso to go. I don’t like artificially flavoured coffees and I haven’t taken the time to try some of their other blends. However, I do have their holiday blend when it’s available – usually in December. Well, Caro Ness posted in a blogging group that

Abandoning Good Reads?

OK, the title may be a little misleading. I was reading an article this morning about the site “Goodreads.” Apparently one of their blogposts was about books that people abandon – Fifty Shades of Grey and J. K. Rowling’s The Casual Vacancy were the most commonly abandoned books lately, according to the site.  I haven’t

100 places to see before you die….

Actually I have the book 1,000 places to see before you die and the book 1,000 foods to eat before you die, or something like that. I have said before that I’m a sucker for a list. Anyway Anita-Clare Field posted this site http://www.listchallengeapp.com/travellistchallenge/ to my FB wall and I was intrigued. Sagrada Familia, Barcelona It’s

Thank you…

There are some things that this blog has accomplished. Actually there are a lot of things that this blog has accomplished and it is not the blog itself but you, the reader, that has helped make them happen and I just want to say “Thank you.” The last year or so have been very stressful
